I have been playing bass for 30 years in various bands. I like many genres of music, and have gone to more then 200 shows.

My 1,2,3,4

Paul Simon on the rhythm of the saints tour. He had an all African band and they just were so good

James brown at casino morongo in 2000. I know what your thinking.... fkn casino morongo. It was in the bingo hall, not a big venue, but he had the full band and still had it strong.

I went to that vegoose show and it was legit. I had seen daft punk a month before or so at UC Berkeley, but for me Iggy pop and the stooges were life changing. They did funhouse in its entirety. It was like they were running on millions of car batteries.

Finally I saw spinaltap open for tenacious d in a charity event at the house of blues on the sunset strip. This is the one I drop on you if you have been to 1000's of shows and are un phaseable.
