Clay Walker -- This was my first concert. He put on a good show and made it a lot of fun. I would go see him again as long as I wasn't spending all of my money on someone else. I don't remember the opening act's name but they were alright for an opening act.
Oleander -- Opening for 3 Doors Down. I had never heard of them before, but thought they did a good job of getting everyone warmed up. Especially the last half of their set which really started to get everyone moving.
Fuel -- Middle act for the 3 Doors Down concert. Fuel did the best in my opinion that night. They really rocked!!
3 Doors Down -- Heavier live in my opinion and that is a good thing.
E'nuff Z'nuff -- I hope I'm spelling that right. Never really cared for them but they were opening for the Poison, Quiet Riot, and Warrant concert. The worst band I've seen live.
Quiet Riot -- Alright so I only know the bands hits and that's pretty much what they played. I thought they were alright but wouldn't pay to see just them.
Warrant -- Very good. Played to the crowd pretty well and rocked the house.
Poison -- Lots of pyro! Which is fine. After the initial high I really thought they put on the best show I had seen up to that point.
Cheap Trick -- Saw half of their set at the Beale Street Music Festival in 2002. I thought they were pretty good.
Puddle of Mudd -- Awesome set! Great warm-up for Incubus at the Festival.
Incubus -- Up to this point Incubus became the best live act for me. Lots of energy, great singing, etc. Really enjoyed it.
Bonnie Raitt -- I only got to catch one song from her set at the Festival, but it was really nice. Would love to see a whole show.
Bruce Springsteen -- I've seen Bruce five times, and he is hands down the best performer/musician ever!! All five times have been on his Rising tour. He really rocks. His music is heavier live and he's got amazing energy. The band is very tight and the interaction with the crowd is fantastic! Bruce kills on guitar live! The man can tear it up when need be. Which if anyone has heard his stuff before he was ever signed to a record deal back in '73 would know for sure. Simply amazing! Words never do justice when I try to describe his shows. As a matter of fact I'm already saving up money for his next tour. I say it will be two years, give or take a little, so I can have a good stash going.
