I had the opposite experience at their Christmas concert. Especially that they most don’t really play their instruments live. Whatever the musical equivalent of lip syncing is.

This opinion is shared by a LOT of old timers too. They were on fire and I guess it was rare for them to have an bad night.

I saw them when I was in college with friends and a new BF/now DH. I don’t remember a single other thing about the show.

I saw Pink live when she opened for Justin Timberlake back in 2007. She honestly stole the show, and I was a big JT fan!

Also Coldplay circa 2010, and Mumford and Sons in 2012.

Wow, hard question.

I loved Coldplay circa 2005.

Alanis Morrisette was great, so much energy.

I enjoyed Stevie Nicks too.

Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli (separately) I loved as well.
