Rod Stewart, don't like his music much but his energy during concerts is top notch. Emerson Lake and Palmer.. Drum solo for 20 minutes has to be a classic
Oh please...put me to sleep, because that's what I would do if I ever saw him. Just listening to his singing(or rather talk) bores me.beenthere123 said:
Rush, absolutely, one of the best.
ACDC before rush is my opinion. Cohen became a cult when I was in College, lots agrred with you but not this white boy the man is a geniousThe Bandit said:

Believe it or not, Prince when he was touring with Sheila E put on an amazing show but I have to go with Queen. Followed closely by (the original) Van Halen, then David Bowie.
U2 (second row, Massey Hall) while was the best produced and sounding show, it was just 4 guys on stage.
Now if you like theatrics, NOTHING beats ELO where the top lifted off their spaceship.......but Madonna did a pretty decent show (this was before she was lipsyncing)

I was lucky enough to see Queen at Wembley in '86, blew me away.... Also up there at the top of the list are Pink Floyd and Iron Maiden.
For an amazing patriotic show, Runrig takes a lot of beating, especially when they play somewhere like Edingurgh Castle or Loch Ness.....

U2 Hands down.
I've seen them every time they've been in town since 1985.
March 1991 - Auctung Baby (Zoo TV) Warm Up concert Series - Maple Leaf Gardens. It was a warm day in march and the Gardens was a sauna. They were so good I could have cried. I'll never forget they played "Angel of Harlem" on the small stage and EVERYONE was singing along. Never sat down for the entire concert.
