Best: Pre-2005 Bon Jovi

Worst: After 2005 Bon Jovi

Dude can't sing anymore. To many concerts over the years has messed up his vocal cords. He should've let Richie/David sing 3-5 songs each night. Some songs I've seen on YouTube, Richie sounds much better live than Jon.

John Butler trio
Gov't Mule
Robert Randolph and the Family Band
Railroad Earth
Davy Knowles and Back Door Slam

got to see DMB at the Gorge in Washington w/ Warren Haynes guesting on the final night.- Amazing venue!

Saw Buddy Guy last year in New Orleans in this small baroom called Tipitinas Their was maybe 300 people Marty Sammon band opened up for him and their were groovy. Marty plays piano in the Buddy Guy band I’m hoping he comes back again as he is getting old

I only go to concerts if the venue is amazing. I am not a fan of stadium shows, or crappy clubs. The best shows I've gone to have all occurred at outdoor venues with great acoustics.

My favorite venue is Red Rocks Amphitheater. It is definitely a venue to plan a vacation around.

Weezer is horrendous live.

Worst: Bob Dylan Voice is so broke its sad
Red Hot Chili Peppers saw them on the best list a few times. Anthony K sang out of key and the audio was horrid.

Hopefully your wife is onto something with wanting to see Dave at Red Rocks. They've played some absolute classic shows there. Both live albums of theirs at Red Rocks are excellent.
