(12,132 posts)in the early 80s and I've seen him a dozen times since then - including one of the tours he did with Steve Winwood which was absolutely exhilarating (he's done at least 2 with SW as the opening act that I know of). I love Steve Winwood.
My 1st show was the Beach Boys and I have seen thousands of live bands since then so I couldn't even begin to name them all but some of my faves are:
Jimmy Page (with the Firm and with Page & Plant where he played enough Led Zep material to smooth over the hurt of missing them in Dallas 1977)
Alex Lifeson
John Paul Jones - he really just plays everything - especially stringed instruments - so I couldn't leave him off a list.
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Steve Vai
Chuck Schuldiner
Trey Azagthoth
Buddy Guy
Unknown Hinson
The Reverend Horton Heat
the twin guitar attack of Glenn Tipton and KK Downing
and
the twin guitar attack of Dave Murray and Adrian Smith.
and I'm forgetting a boat-load of others but I have been pretty lucky in my concert experiences.
