Alright, I just got back from Amoeba in Hollywood, where I saw Jackson Browne ( heart !). I've seen him at least four times (that I can think of... damn that short-term memory loss!), so I got to thinking -- what bands or artists have HM-ers seen live? What kinds of venues does everyone favor? What's your ultimate concert experience?

I've seen Jackson Browne (of course), Styx (once -- sans Dennis, which is fine by me; I'm a Tommy fan), Yes (I confess, I nearly fell asleep and left after the first forty minutes/two songs), The Knack, Ringo Starr's All-Star Band, The Turtles, Neil Diamond, Buddha Bomb (my sister's band, whom I've seen many, many times), d**k Dale, Emmit Rhodes, Shonen Knife, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Knockout, Goldfinger, and the gods only know how many various acts in LA's scene. As for venues, the Greek Theatre in Griffith Park is awesome, but the Santa Monica Pier is really a lot of fun... but hey, I'm a drinker; I love dives and bars that serve cold drinks and live rock. ^_~
