Dave Brubeck Quartet in Detroit about 3 years ago, it was unbelievable to see/hear ol' Dave on the piano and Peter Erskine was at the drums. Bobby Militello was on sax and I can't rerember the bass player right now, but it was better than any of my words can describe!

Jared,

I hung out with YES for several months while they recorded a studio album and a live album in San Luis Obispo, 1996. I hooked up with them and was allowed into their studio daily to just hang out and watch. It was the most amazing time ever. Those guys are still awesome. Good times........

White Zombie opening for Pantera in '94. I can't believe anyone had the guts to follow White Zombie, but Im still not sure who put on a better show. Both of them were awesome. Zombie may have actually been the headliner for this tour. I think they opened because of the time required to set up their stage. Pantera had nothing on stage except for Darryl's and Rex's stacks and a huge TX flag, but they ripped.

Worst Band Ive ever seen: The Misfits opening for Anthrax in '95 in a small bar in Orlando. I am obviously a big Misfits fan, but they are an absolute trainwreck on stage. Maybe thats the idea
