Clapton
BB King
Leo Kottke

Well, it's true what they used to say about Sammy Hagar. You had to see him live. Never so impressed in my damn life.

I saw Jimmy Buffett at the Fox Theater in Atlanta (anybody that’s been to the Fox will understand just how great a place it is)...that will go down as one of my favorite concerts ever... You Had To Be There

Elton John, at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

He is old, so touring is not his thing, so he does a show and then goes up to his penthouse and rests.

Fantastic show, and of course the Colosseum did it up right. Plus it was one of those "I've always wanted to see so-and-so live" and before you know it they are no longer with us. Glad I have seen Elton John.

Last year I caught Hooverphonic at the very intimate venue Neck of the Woods in San Francisco. Their current singer Luka Cruysberghs is pretty good, but I was sorry I never caught them with their previous singer Noémie Wolfs. I loved her voice!

AC/DC Live at the River Plate.
Trans Siberia Orchestra. Anywhere.

seems a lot of those trip-hop type bands have roving singers,

I would like to have caught Massive Attack years go for Paradise Circus,

and Zero 7 when Sia was singing for them,

if you are a youtube user, look at KEXP, and NPR's Tinydesk series,

some excellent performances by both Indy/Alt types and more popular or well known artists,,


also

Goldfrapp, Maide Vale in 2013
Pink Martini, there are several live versions at various outdoor venues (with Storm Large) that are excellent

Simple Minds Live in Edinburgh 2015

X on KEXP

Richie Kotzen live show 2015 (not sure where it was filmed)

I'll also google live shows from Coachella, Glastonbury, and similar big festivals to see how the shows were

one of the best live movies, from many moons ago, is Urgh, A Music War,,

good stuff

Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers at numerous Circus Mexicus'

Pixies on the Doolittle Anniversary tour

Depeche Mode & OMD at Compton Terrace in 1987

U2 on the Joshua Tree tour

INXS on the Listen Like Thieves tour

Flatt and Scruggs at Carnegie music hall in 1962. Sinatra at the Sands is also great, in my opinion.

I got to see Luther Allison in ‘96, he passed in ‘97. [FLASH_VIDEO]

I've got tickets for Massive Attack on Sept 7th (postponed from March). Apparently they got the Cocteau Twins' Liz Fraser with them. She NEVER tours!

Santana
Hendrix
Clapton

As much as I like the OP's version of Brothers In Arms, the one below is my favorite...


I can't get the video to post...click the link, it's worth it.

good stuff

Any of the Buddy Rich Memorial concerts with this one showing three of the best drummers out there:

Some of the best live performances I’ve witnessed in person...

Doobie Brothers Farewell Tour in the Carowinds Ampitheater...early 80’s I believe.

Billy Joel and Elton John outdoors in Death Valley, Clemson, SC...mid to late 90’s.

Alison Krauss in the Fox Theater, Atlanta, GA a few years back.

U2 Joshua Tree Tour in MetLife Stadium, NJ, just last summer.

Among the best:
Jethro Tull
Chicago
Eagles with Joe Walsh
Rolling Stones
Rod Stewart
Oak Ridge Boys
Vladimir Horowitz
Andres Segovia
Lots of Music Theater

Obviously, my tastes are eclectic.
