Nice! I'd have to say Southern Culture On the Skids, Old Crow Medicine Show, Buddy Guy, Greatful Dead with Bob Dylan and Tom Petty, The Black Keys, Los Lobos.
I almost forgot Stevie Ray Vaughn with Jeff Beck!

I once ( aprox, 1975 ) saw Hunter s. Thompson on stage at a writer's conference ( along with Ken Kesey and Maya Angelou ) in Gainsville. One hand held a quart of Wild Turkey, the other hand held a quart of Nyquil - both empty in an hour -- needless to say, the dialogue was most entertaining, but chaotically rambling. PS Kesey was eating shrooms like free appetizers and burning massive bowls of The Wildwood Flower.Dave.
