I concur that the Jesus Lizard where incredible.

I missed one:

Flaming Lips - Barrymore Theater Madison, Wi. 2001

This show had rock, fireworks, confetti, cash- an assault on all the senses.

Wayne Coyne's obvious enthusiasm and glee with performing puts this show near the top of the list.

Last Wilson Center show: Q and Not U, Pg.99, Crispus Attucks, Majority Rule, Kill the Man Who Questions, Strike Anywhere etc.

FVK(Cro-Mags) w/ Cold World. It's hard to beat Cro-Mags songs with JJ singing.

Prince.

Superbowl of Hardcore with Agnostic Front, Murphys Law, Circle Jerks, Striking Distance, and some others I can't remember right now.

108 and Damnation A.D. in DC.

Underdog and BOLD last summer at Posi Numbers. I thought both bands were good.
