Walleye,
I think you have us all beat. Ella was one of the great voices of the 20th century.

In Vancouver unless otherwise noted:
Fugazi
Archers of Loaf (Halloween on their last tour)
Les Cowboys Fringant
Peter, Bjorn and John (I wasn't expecting much but they totally surprised me)
Blonde Redhead (An Expression of the Inexpressible era)
Modest Mouse (Lonesome Crowded West era)
Les Savy Fav (more showmanship than anything)
Ween
Beck
J Mascis solo acoustic
I have been disappointed at every big arena show so I stick to smaller venues these days. Too bad that rules out some of my idols like Neil Young. I might spring for the Beastie Boys though if they ever tour again.

Dixie Dregs, early eighties.
Unsung Heroes tour and Industry Standard tour.
Great lights, LOUD (very loud) but very clean sound, and an all-around kick-ass line up (Andy West, T Lavitz, Morgenstien, O'Connor).
They always played small joints like the Roxy and the Golden Bear so every "seat" was a good one.

Best show I saw was Pink Floyd when they did The Wall. My friends and I had studied the album for months, so we knew it crazy well. Sound and images just blew me away.
Nothing else has come close to matching it for me.

Rush kicks ass.
They get good bands to open for them too, like Steve Morse and Pat Travers (we'll forgive them for having .38 Special open).

Kenny G kicked butt when he was going by "Kenny Gorelick" and played with the Jeff Lorber Fusion.
Check "Wizard Island" for proof.
They used to play the Golden Bear in Huntington on all their school breaks, like Christmas and Spring Break.

Hard to say, though seeing Elvin Bishop @ the Keystone, when Dickie Betts climbed out of the audience to jam with him was cool. (anyone with the Garcis/Saunders life @ the Keystone LP, can see the Security guy who let me in there underage,

Ramones, Blondie & Tom Tom Club Mesa, az,
Lyle Lovet @ the asphalt ampitheater, Reno, two days after Jerry died, for extra credit, what song did he start with?
