Except for Hendrix, I have seen just about all the great ones. I actually saw Duane Allman at the Harrisburg Area Community College in PA in 1971. Very small venue. Awesome. I saw Dickie Betts just a few years ago at a bar in downtown State College, PA, again, no more than 250 people, unbelievable. My wife and I went to see
The Who just after Entwhistle's death (actually we went to see Robert Plant who was their support act). Excellent show. I thought both Pete and Roger were in great voice, and Pete was still able to rock that guitar. Of course he did the windmill thing and the crowd just went nuts. Feel sorry for the music my kids have to listen to...
If you want to see a great blues/rock band, check out The Derek Trucks Band if you haven't already. He's Butch Trucks' kid, and you may know his work with the Allman Brothers. His band does small rooms and they are outstanding.

I was at that concert, 26th row, and lemme tell ya as a long time Who fan and concert goer ... that Holmdel 2002 show was one of the *hottest* Who concerts that I'd ever witnessed! Townshend was completely on fire that night, as was Daltry ... an awesome Who show, one that (dare I say it?) might even rank up there with Live at Leeds (sans Moon and OX)
