Nice to see so many mentions of Springsteen and Neil Young. In many different cities as well. Clearly the two best tours of 08. With neither Neil or Bruce slowing down anytime soon....Now if we can just Mick to stop dancing in the streets and dancing on stage again...

"It's just some friends of mine and they're busting down the door"

I'd have to say Neil Young was #1 easily,
Then Steve Winwood.
And Stevie Wonder.
Then Steely Dan.
Spritualized in a small L.A. club was amazing.
Then ZZ Top and the Foo Fighters...both very good even though Foo isn't my cup of tea.
And I did see Oasis a couple weeks ago, and admit it was a great show...

Mick Fleetwood Blues Band, Notodden Blues Festival

Springsteen in Paris.

Bruce Springsteen @ Emirates Stadium London
Leonard Cohen @ Edinburgh Castle
Leonard Cohen @ Armadillo Glasgow
Steve Winwood @ Arches Glasgow

Mick Taylor, pub in south London, December 2008

1. Winwood and Clapton, MSG (Yes, barbequeb!)
2. Steely Dan, Chicago Theater (Hairball, me too.)

Eagles
St. Louis

The Dylan show I saw this year was fantastic, the Police show was uninspired and boring, Aussie Pink Floyd was really good and better than I expected, Lindsey Buckingham something came up and I had to miss it.

Really???
Wow! I didn't expect that. That's very cool! Pleased to meet you Nice to know that he has such good musical roots in his family. I guess he inherited the passion for music from you. Tell him we're anxious to see him in Poland again. It was such a wonderful show. Take care

I will tell Orri !
Are you close to krakow ?

My own six of the best from 2008:

1) Neil Young (Cork City, Ireland).
2) Bruce Springsteen (2nd Show, Dublin, Ireland).
3) The Cardinals (Leeds).
4) Oasis (1st Show, Liverpool).
5) Stevie Wonder (1st Show, Manchester).
6) The Who (1st Show, London).

No, I'm close to Warsaw. Actually they played very close to my home, almost in my backyard

Been to just over a hundred in 2008.

absolute Top 3 (in no order)

Testament at the Key Club 4/7/08
Gang Of Four at Gibson Amphitheatre 7/20/08
Mad Juana at the Scene 9/4/08

The most expensive being Mad Juana at $7

Other really awesome ones were Jail Weddings (4 Mondays in a row at the Echo) , Jack Bruce, Chapin Sisters at the Echo, Sun Trash, The Humpers, Zeke, Melvins at the Troubadour, Bruce Springsteen at the Pond, No Age/Mika Miko at the Central Library, Dresden Dolls at the Wiltern, Sean Wheeler & Zander Schloss at the Redwood, Coachella - just the whole experience.

There's a lot more people who have seen over and over and over again but to be honest it's hard to be impressed or excited when I am mainly just going out of habit and have seen it all before.

Unfortunately with the economy I was only able to see the Who in Boston they can still rock.

Black Crowes in Amsterdam.
