1)You can pick anyone...who and why?
2)Also, what were youre top 5 shows? (when and where)
3)Which show do you regret missing the most?

Mine:
Now-Led Zeppelin at their peak.
Top Shows: (my dates may be off a bit)

1)Pink Floyd in 95' (i think) at Giants stadium-huge, blow-up pigs floating over the stage...
2)Janes Addiction (97')-Roseland, NY. Farrell picked up the band mid-show and moved to the back of the venue to play a couple of songs for people in the back.
3)Metallica with GN'R-(91')
4)Radiohead (last year) Madison Square Garden
5)Bjork and Aphex Twin-(98') Irving Plaza, NY.

Ill never get over missing Alice In Chains...

Jimi Hendrix died when I was about eight -- I would have loved to have seen him perform.

I'd probably give an unessential organ (maybe a kidney or lung) for a chance to see neutral milk hotel perform for a crowd of under 50.

1) Scott Miller/The Loud Family -- because Scott's such a nice guy, his music will always be my favorite, it's the ultimate hyper-melodic math rock, and an entire crowd of Loud Family/Miller/Game Theory fans would be like finally finding my flock (I've never met anyone in real life who's ever heard of them, and I've asked plenty).

2) best show: Flaming Lips/Sebadoh/Robyn Hitchcock headphone concert -- because it was a HEADPHONE CONCERT
2nd best: first time I saw Pop Poppins
3rd best: Cure Wish tour, because I was a solid fanboy at the time
4th best: The Autumns, wow!
5th best: probably one of the local "I Love Math" shows featuring members of the Deathray Davies

3) see 1) above

Stevie Ray with Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Jimmy V., Robert Cray -- all at the Alpine Valley show the night Stevie died. I was supposed to see Stevie play at Dallas before Alpine and wasn't able to go. I've managed to see all the rest except Clapton so far.

Some of my top shows:
1.Eric Johnson AhVia Musicom Tour at the Roxy in Wichita, Ks.(200 seat club)
2.Buddy Guy at Rita's Little Uptown (small club)
3.Robert Cray at The Cotillion (small club)
4.All Rush Concerts I've seen (6)
5.Godsmack at the Ks Colloseum --for pure energy

I would've loved to have been at a show that my mom went to (I think it was 1992). Metallica, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Mudhoney and one or two others, with special guest opener Spinal Tap.
