@edcyn I was thinking about Springsteen - I saw him on the River Tour for the first time - mesmerizing - 4 hours of non-stop rock and roll - wow.  The only thing that came close after that was The Rising Tour for me.

  - Bob Dylan at The Pantages Theater on Hollywood Blvd. (a great Deco-style theater), early 2000’s. Really really good, unlike the last time I had seen him (outside at The Greek Theater) in the early-90’s. Terr-i-ble.

I saw that show.  Did you see Elvis Costello walking up to the front row with his hat on? - he was ecstatic, it was like he was going to school to see Dylan.  Dylan did a bunch of great shows in the early 2000's.

 Wow - I forgot about Phil Keaggy - there was some article where Eric Clapton said he was the best guitar player in the world.  Went to go see him because of that - great guitar player for sure.  There were some people that were angry in the audience because he was not playing religious stuff I remember - I guess he was a gospel guy, and this was his stab at secular.  It struck me as good, but it did not hit me as over the top - I guess that is why music is so subjective.   1) Phil Keaggy, arguably one of the greatest electric guitarists of the past 40 years, playing his 30+ minute guitar solo for "Rejoice" during the late 1980s to early 1990s.
