Not in any order:

1. Depeche Mode Violator Tour
(First time seeing them live. They have always been great about the visual esthetic and the music from that record was fantastic. And Nitzer Ebb opened!)

2. U2 Achtung Baby Tour
(Small 4000 seat civic center in Lakeland, FL. The only indoor show of that tour. The band rehearsed there for two weeks prior to that show. And The Pixies opened!)

3. Daniel Lanois @ Exit-In Nashville.
(He was touring in support of his, "Shine," record. Great album/ great performance.)

4. Sting @ Austin, TX.
(Mercury Falling Tour... Jars opened that night and got a standing ovation from the crowd of 22,000! Made his performance that much better.)

5. Jellyfish @ American Theater. St. Louis, MO
(They opened for Tears for Fears. I had only heard one song... They stole the show!)

6. Rush@ Worchester Centrum, MA
(Hold Your Fire Tour. Just a brilliant night of well used lasers and math rock)

7. The Cure @ Orlando Arena, FL.
(The Wish Tour. They know how to make an arena feel intimate and introspective. Great lighting and stage design.)

8. Toad the Wet Sprocket with The Grays @ 321 Performance Hall, Nashville,TN.
(Toad was supporting their Dulcinea record, and the Grays were just out of this world amazing.)

9. Crowded House @ The Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, TN
(They played EVERY song I wanted to hear!)

10. Sarah McLachlan @ TPAC
(Fumbling Towards Ecstasy Tour. Sarah was perfect.. The songs came across so artful and soulful and she had a great band and lighting design.)
