I'm a bit of a late blooming Boss fan. Saw Springsteen in '03 on "The Rising" tour at Giant Stadium twice, again on his "Devil's and Dust" tour twice ('06 I think), and 3 times on the "Magic" tour. Third time is actually tonight at Giant Stadium. He is the best entertainer around today (IMHO).

Saw the Stones in Fenway 2nd night of their "Bigger Bang" tour ('05 or '06) The band wasn't tight, but they were INCREDIBLE anyway even without considering how old they were. "Sympathy for the Devil" was like seeing and hearing history!

Saw the Grateful Dead a few times in the early '70's. Quite memorable.

But probably the best were the series of Schaeffer Music Festivals that ran in the late 60's early 70's in Central Park. Al Kooper had split from Blood Sweat and Tears and was on his own with a 12 piece band and the music was fantastic! That one was the best.
