(The list item has a youtube video, please visit the list to check it out)
U2
Loved how the house music before the show was all songs about elevation, going higher, etc. before they came on stage. "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" bustin out some Sly "Gonna take You Higher" Then the song "Elevation" starts playing but U2 isn't on stage yet. They walk on while the song is playing, join in progress, and the crowd loses their mind. good times.

Rolling Stones
Saw them the first time when i was a freshman at MU. Voodoo lounge tour. Charlie Gallagher got us like 10th row from the AD Joe Castiglione. Lenny Kravitz was supposed to open but we got Blind Melon instead. Stage was too big for them. Giant snake head the blew fire was the main set piece.
Second time was in STL. Our tickets were in section 420. Worth mentioning. Bridges to Babylon tour. Pretty cool when the bridge extended from the main stage to a small stage in the center of the floor. The Stones walked on over and kicked out some classics "in the round" style.

Black Crowes
Saw them at the Blue Note in Columbia. I thought they smoked but the set was only about 50 minutes. Amazing how many songs they fit it. They were great.
(The list item has a youtube video, please visit the list to check it out)
Arcade Fire
At the Greek in Berkeley. Very powerful live with 10 people on stage banging away. Kind of like a gypsy troop of circus musicians. One guy got up on stage during the song "Wake Up" grabbed a mic and just started wailing with them. Nothing happened so he picked up some drum sticks. eventually he was asked to leeave. Went to the show with John Howard. A few pics above...speaking of gypsy circus...

These guys really are a gypsy circus. gypsy circus rock. complete with sword swallowers, belly dancers, and accordian. Cool sound though. Saw them at the Tour De Fat. These guys are REALLY cool and unique. I heard they did 10 shows at Bonaroo this year!!!
