I thought there was a thread about this somewhere, but just searched and couldn't find it. Anyway, I started a thread like this over on DC.com a wile ago and it's kind of a fun one. So here's what I am asking. What bands have you ladies and gent's seen over the years? I personally love concerts and can't get enough of them. One reason I am moving south is so that I can go to more. Someday I would love to own my own small venue. Anyway, here is my list and I will probably post pics every once in a while too. :)

I worked security on-stage for George Thorogood and the Destroyers, two nights in a row. A$$ kicking show.
 
The White Stripes - great show, Jack White played guitar a lot like Jimmy Page, had a lot of good blues style. Oh and Meg's boobs kept bouncing out of her shirt. :)

Tool - x2, great show both times.

IMA Robot - decent show, although I wasn't really into their music, went with gf at the time.

Smashing Pumpkins - awesome show, constant song after song. Billy Corgan has talent.

Mars Volta - they didn't have any of their electronic stuff hooked up for whatever reason, so a lot of the 'sound' was missing from their songs.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - good show, don't remember much of it ..

Queens Of The Stone Age - decent show, lead singer fell through the drums towards the end and after recovering, ran off stage. End of show.

Bruce Cockburn - truly amazing guitar player.

Secret Chiefs 3 - these are members from Peeping Tom, Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, etc. Really really good show, wish I could see them again.

3 Inches Of Blood - awesome show!

Protest The Hero - each musician in this band has incredible talent, things I can't even imagine playing on guitar or bass or drums.

Wintersleep - didn't know who they were at the time, but really liked the show. Really down to earth guys.
 
Ozzy, a few times. Best was at the Mesa Amphitheater
Jackyl, first time in bigger arena, twice more at small clubs. If you like it loud they are a must see, just hope Jessee James Dupree fires up the chain saw.
Opening bands for Jackyl sucked so bad I do not remember there names.
Great White, put on a good show....
Korn, another good show..
Trikster in a small club in NJ, good show....
Leatherwolf and Kix at a small club in NJ, another good show
