Gruupi Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Eric Johnson Pat Metheny These are the only touring bands I go to see regularly now. I much prefer to see a club band than the big productions.

caprae Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Havn't seen them but love what I've heard of Sister Hazel's live album. Same with Third Day. Jeremy Camp put on a great concert. The Blue Man Group for shear wonderment. Raise your children and spoil your grandchildren. Spoil your children and raise your grandchildren.

Danzilla Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Marillion Yes Caedmon's Call Jars of Clay Switchfoot And I'll concur with Caprae that Third Day and Jeremy Camp (w/Randy Williams on guitar) do put on great live shows. I've never seen Dream Theater or Spocks Beard live, but hope to do so sometime this decade. Actually, there's a lot of bands/artists that fit that bill...

I have their first album and like it quite a bit, but his three solo albums on Spooky Records are really awesome (his first solo album is also pretty good). I also really like his work with The Beasts of Bourbon. National Capital Rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicalhair Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Psychedelic Breakfast, or I guess they're just called The Breakfast now. I don't have a list of 5 as I just don't get out that much anymore. Funk Philharmonic kick a lotta ass. I used to see Joe Tiano like weekly and got a lot of inspiration from him. BB and the Stingers, well "BB" is shocking on guitar. Anyway, except for The Breakfast, or the Philharmonic those are local guys I dig. check out some comedy I've done: http://louhasspoken.tumblr.com/ My Unitarian Jihad Name: Brother Broadsword of Enlightened Compassion.

ihategarybettman Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I second Guitar55's nomination of Springsteen. I'd like to add Little Charlie and the Nightcats, AC/DC, Los Lobos, and Junior Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitar55 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I would love to see Junior Brown live sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruupi Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I haven't seen Junior Brown live either. When he used to play around here I didn't know who he was. I did see him on Austin City Limits and it was an awesome musical display plus just enough shtick to make it entertaining as hell. I have only seen the Stones once in 1983. It was great show. If you haven't seen them live, you owe it to yourself to see them at least once. I doubt I would see them again though, I just hate the huge arena shows. I have never liked big crowds and it is a pain to get to and from these events. Now if I could see them in a club setting, I would be very happy indeed. Seeing the big touring bands these days is almost like seeing them on TV. You really don't feel like you are part of something. I want to see the guitar players hands and hear his amp, not a video screen with a huge delay from half a mile away till the sound gets to me.

BiC Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 With returning from being in England these past 3 years, and now being deployed, it's been a while since I've been to a concert. I believe some of the last concerts I've been to, and in which I was stage hand/security were: - Third Day - Newsboys - Big Tent Revival - Clay Cross & Jaci Valesquez I would have to say out of those, Third Day really rocked, followed very closely by BTR, who have since disbanded on good terms.

BiC Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 BTW, When I saw The Scorpions on VH Monster's Of Rock tour back in '88, I was really impressed with their live sound! That was the one and only time I ever caught the Scorps live. Has anyone seen them lately, and do they still rock live?
