Hmm I guess it is lame to say Pearl Jam are there any others hehe

Seriously...

1. Pearl Jam x 1 (Sure wish I could put more numbers behind that x but it was the most awesome show)

2. Pink Floyd x 2 Ahhh an oldie but what awesome couple of shows...

3. Live x2 Ok what is it with singers name Ed. This guy rocks but doesn't hold a candle to Eddie V :mrgreen:

4. Toad the Wet Sprocket x1 these guys where awesome but who knows where they went. Why cant peeps stay together like you guys sigh hehe...

5. Peter Gabriel OK he is awesome too :) damn he must be getting old like us...

Damn no room for Floggy Molly everyone should see them once !!!

PEACE

unfortunately a few of my favorites don't tour too often :cry:

edit:
4. Beck - 3 :D great show last night. JMJ, Smokey Hormel, Joey Waronker, Roger Manning and Beck. So glad they're touring together again. It's been a decade since

I'd love to see Beck again. I only caught him in '08 when you could tell he was getting tired of touring and decided to go on a hiatus not long afetrwards.

PJ - 25+
Springsteen - 20+
MMJ - 2 (just this month. I was late to the party)

After that I'm not sure. Have seen a bunch of bands that I have enjoyed live, but probably not worthy of my top 5 list.

Eagles of Death Metal
Tom Petty
Billy Joel
Green Day (sounded great live, but their show was kinda cheesey)
Kings of Leon (dead to me after first two albums. hearing sex on fire and Use somebody live was end for me)

The top 3 have kinda ruined concerts for me. Most bands just don't compare to those live acts
