What a silly exercise! For starters, I scarcely recall most of the live performances I took in the first half of this decade. And it would make a lot more sense if I made separate genre lists- classical, country, jazz, metal, etc. But I didn't. In order to lessen the absurdity by just a fraction, I didn't include any shows from 2009. That list is here. I've added representative (but not same show) video links for the uninitiated. Here goes:
1. The Hold Steady- Jackpot Saloon, 2006
2. Roy Harper- boat on Sacramento River, 2001
3. Maxwell- Uptown Theater, 2008
4. X- Madrid Theater, 2002
