best live show/performance

[JonW]

Let’s see if we can get the ball rolling with another topic that is sure to stimulate some discussion for the serious rock fans. I am talking about the greatest live performances you have seen in concert, on film, or on video/DVD. I recently saw Hank III at a small club in Santa Ana, California and it was out of this world! This is the grandson of Hank Williams and the son of Hank Williams Jr. and he took us on a musical journey that included; country, hillbilly, rock, psychobilly, Hellbilly and heavy metal, all in one evening. The show was about 2 1/2 hours in length: the band included; fiddle, dog-house bass, keyboards, drums, two guitars and was so tight and the sound so good that it stayed with me for several weeks after. This guy has the DNA and I hear his kid is pretty good too!

Just saw the return of the great Walter Trout (7/10/15) who played his first U.S. show in 2 years following a near death experience in which he lost over 100 pounds and needed an organ transplant to save him from the grip of death. This Blues legend from Huntington Beach, CA. threw it down hard at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano in front of a crowd that responded with numerous standing ovations. It was a family affair when he and his 20 year-old son, Jon traded licks in a great old school guitar-cutting contest which Walter ended with a scorching example of why he is regarded by Guitar Player magazine as one of the top 100 of all time! A great night of rockin blues!
