If you had to pick a few off this list, who would you absolutely NOT miss??

Jewel (unplugged show)
Grace Potter
Cyndi Lauper
Doobie Bros.
Huey Lewis
Yes
Jonny Lang
Chicago
Chris Isaak
Willie Nelson
Los Lobos/Los Lonley Boys
D'Angelo
Dave Kos
Steely Dan
Buddy Guy/George Thorogood
Melissa Ethridge
Average White Band/TowerOfPower
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Diana Krall
Air Supply

and if you were going to comedy would you have to see any of these:
Joan Rivers

Bill Cosby

Also, how much more likely would you be to go if the show is on a Friday or Saturday night or does it not really matter all that much?

Wouldn't pay to see any of the 3 comedians listed above.

Probably Chicago but I hate concerts so if I had to go, it would be to see them.

I've already seen Yes and there might be one or two of the original players in it.

From that list only Chris Isaak. I've seen many of the others already.

I've seen just about every band I'd want to see, including 4 Springsteen concerts....(the absolute best live shows, ever)

Maybe I'd want to see Chris Isaak, Keith Urban, Jason Mraz, & John Mayer again, lol
(saw those last two already, too).....
The problem is I'm not into dealing w/ the idiots at concerts anymore

I hear you about the idiots, but I've noticed as our generation is now more grown up, people have stopped falling down drunk and throwing up all over the place at concerts lately. I went to see Clapton last week in a sold out arena of about 18,000 and didn't see anything of even the smallest cause for concern. That sure is a switch from back in the day. NHL playoff games last season in that same arena - now that's a different story. Drunks spilling beer all over the place, some were stealing the commemorative t-shirts off other fans seats, etc.

I'm more of the Sunday matinee crowd now.

Grace Potter's supposed to be great live. My sister saw both the Doobies and Skynyrd in one show, and I know she liked the Doobies better.

From what I hear a Yes show can barely be called that these days, since they don't even have their lead singer anymore.

Willie Nelson would be great! Just to say you've seen him.

I never think "live" when I hear Steely Dan. Their albums were such intricate studio creations. So I really have no sense of how they'd be.

I don´t want to see anyone of them, not even if somebody else paid for it.
