I've never seen S.Y.L live myself, and now Devin has made good his 5 album commitment, I don't suppose I ever will. Oh well, I'll just have to keep watching the DVD and keep it cranked at home!
It's a shame really. Gene Hoglan has been my drumming idol ever since I heard 'Individual Thought Patterns' by 'Death', and I've never actually ever seen him playing live.
Ok, today's list is:
Paul Weller (in all forms)
Tom Waits
The Rolling Stones
The Small Faces
The Who
Ian Dury and the Blockheads
The Faces
Jeff Buckley
Otis Redding
Billy Bragg
That was hard....
Tomorrow may be different
Elvis Presley
Ray Charles
Queen
Mozart
Bob Marley
Jewel
AC/DC
Van Morrisson
Aimee Mann
Dire Straights
Different style, exceptional performance.
Some interesting lists...
Some with artists who would be on my opposite list, some with artists who would make my next 10...
Never ceases to amaze me the multitude of tastes of us mere mortals... 
In no particular order...
INXS

Simple Minds
Paul Weller
Audioslave
Semisonic
David Gray
Foo Fighters
