I'm sure there are many more I'm forgetting. Best of the bunch, without question is Phish. Biggest surprise (i.e... better than I expected) was Paul Simon, he had 7 encores and was great live. Other notable great concerts: Beck, Neil Young, Wilco, Black Crowes, Page/Plant, Allman Bros and the Dead.

 

Damn Yankees, Bad Co and Lynyrd Skynyrd were all horrible (not surprising, saw them in the 90s). John Mellencamp and Steve Miller were more high school phases, fun at the time but wouldn't go again.

Wyclef Jean

 

Favorite show: Beck during his Odelay tour in 1996. He still wasn't big enough to fill the small venue in Charlotte, so there was plenty of room to get down, get down all the way.

 

Worst Show: Wyclef Jean. Surprisingly, he had a hard time filling the show by himself. He played a lot of records, and kept stopping and talking , and it wasn't entertaining. He needs more talented people like Lauryn Hill around him to work.

I'm opening myself up for all sorts of criticism here:

 

Boyz II Men

TLC

Wu-Tang

Method Man & Redman

Alicia Keys

Montell Jordan

Backstreet Boys (I thought I was going to see Blackstreet!)

Soul For Real

Aaliyah

LL Cool J

Brian McKnight

Naughty By Nature

Stevie Wonder

 

Kenny Chesney

Brooks and Dunn

Sugarland

Gretchen Wilson

Big and Rich

DIerks Bentley

Alabama

 

Pearl Jam (6 times)

Tool

Ryan Adams

The Melvins

Guns N Roses

Metallica

 

Best: Ryan Adams--absolutely jaw-dropping. Didn't know much about him going in, what a talented guy.

 

Honorable mention---Kenny Chesney--the most fun I've ever had at a show, and the best eye candy by far in the audience.

 

Worst: Stevie Wonder---played only his newest music and barely played any of the classics. The band was surprisingly mediocre.

Not surprised in the least. I think he had too many years of all these morons surrounding him and telling him everything he did was "genius" ("Stevie! The way you sneezed there! Genius!!") and it finally got to his head. Suspect that happens to a lot of popular arists though - everyone's so busy brown-nosing and nobody dares criticize in the least or push them to stay on top of their game. Does his voice still suck too, ie for a long time now he's had this "I'm so constipated" way of singing - puke

 

Also drives me nuts when an artist barely little to none of their "classic" stuff - I can understand more focus on newer stuff, but cmon. Metheny and Spyro (first time) did that to a fault - I know the majority of their stuff and barely recognized anything, which was made worse by not caring for most of the new stuff to boot. Oh well

 

Was thinking I probably shouldn't have included Marshall Tucker as it was only about 5/6 yrs ago and hardly any of the orig band was left ie wasn't really them..only the orig lead singer, who barely sang (and when he did you knew why, voice was shot). Ditto for the Guess Who, who I accidentally left off, but probably just as well.
