Queen was really good.Brian May and Freddie, just unreal. I was pretty young when I went to it. But, will never forget it. I hope Zep does a reunion tour, I don't care how old they are. Those boys can still tear it up.

1. Bob Dylan, opening act Patti Smith, in 2000, outdoors in Atlanta. Smith played with pure fire and I've never seen Dylan so physically into a performance. He was doing some wild dancing which looked half Charlie Chaplin inspired and half young Elvis Presley.
2. Radiohead (Beta Band opened) in Grant Park downtown Chicago. It was unnaturally warm, but still a great time.
3. Rolling Stones, at the Silverdome, in '98 I think. A guy fell out of the stands and died during this concert, but the show went on.
4. Toumani Diabate, at Great Lakes Folk Festival '01. This guy is from Mali and is the greatest living musician, imo. His "New Ancient Strings" is an incredible album.
5. The Who, in Chicago, can't remember what year exactly, but Entwhistle was still around and as good as ever.
