Music Live Act.
Van Halen in Canberra on the Australian tour 1998 - incredible.
Joe Satriani at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney in 2006 - amazing.
G3 in Canberra last year - stunning.
But then, I have a thing for electric guitar virtuosos.

Jealous! I would love to see The Cranberries. Best was INXS at Alexandra Hills Tavern in Brisbane in Early 90's. I had some pic's but unfortunately the album was one of my items to disappear from removalist. Luckily I scanned before move although copy isn't good.
Still want to blow up a big photo one day to hang in my outdoor area.Paul Kelly and Neil Finn at The Opera House. They went for over three hours and didn't come close to running out of stuff to play.
James Morrison with Idea of North (a capella jazz/gospel quartet) last year- superb
Manhattan Transfer with Idea of North last month- exquisite
Elton John recently- excellent
Many years ago- Dr Hook. Fantastic. No support acts, just kept on going, with solo numbers to give the others a break
Worst ever- Beach Boys at SCG many many years ago. Drunk or stoned, couldn't remember the words to Little Deuce Coupe, couldn't sing in harmony.
I went to summer camp as a teenager with one of the guys from Idea of North.
Nick or Andrew?
I've been singing in an a Capella group recently that Nick sang in for a number of years- Canberra Chordsmen (barbershop chorus). I'm in this performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wvy_eFlX-2Q&sns=em
It was Nick. He had an amazing voice even back then.
The standout concerts for me were.
Daddy Cool at Memorial Drive in the 70's.
Split Enz at Thebarton Theatre in the 80's, the energy was jaw dropping.
More recently David Bowie performed a very accomplished and entertaining show.
Eric Clapton I found disappointing but one of the guitarists performing with him was amazing.
The B52's at A Day on the Green was great fun.

Was it Derek Trucks?
Yes, I think so. He certainly upstaged Clapton on the night. I was mesmerised. It was worth the ticket price just to see and hear him play.
