Neil Young..without crazy horse but he rocked pretty hard regardless.

The best concert I ever saw, beyond a shadow of a doubt, was back in 2007 at the School of Rock in South Hackensack, NJ. It was (in this order) Tera Melos, Damiera, Portugal the Man, and the Fall of Troy. The only band I went to see was Damiera because they were the only one I knew, oddly enough. They blew me away but I was also blown away by the other three. I still listen to them all to this day. I only wish I had know the other bands better at the time so I really could've rocked out to them.

I've been to so many shows it's hard to pick one, but if you put a gun to my head I'd have to say Frank Zappa. Yes and Genesis were always great as well as James Taylor.

Me and a few friends saw neil solo a couple years ago. We saw buffalo Springfield earlier this year and we all agreed that it was better than Neil solo and was probably the best show we've ever seen. Stephen stills is just a great songwriter and musician who doesn't get enough credit. Seeing him and neil together was epic. Now I must see CSNY!
