I haven't been a concert-goer (maybe twice in my life?), but i've always wanted to see Van Morrison in concert. How was he live?[/quote]

Me neither. Have been to two in my life: Bee Gees and Billy Joel

My wife looooooves the Bee Gees, and there's an Australian tribute band that plays near us once every couple of years. If you really listen to the breadth of songs over their entire career, you have to respect their songwriting skills and musicianship.

This past summer I saw the Nelson twins do a tribute to their dad, Ricky Nelson. It was great!

Great. Now i have "livin' it up on the Barry Gibb talkshow" going thru my head.

See, I have the headbanging portion of "Lonely Days" going through my head. Much better.....
