Which big-name artists/bands have you seen live in concert?

For years, Collins had his own jazz band in which he drummed. Before he became a big pop star, he was one of the BEST progressive rock drummers around. He appeared on several Brian Eno and Peter Gabriel solo albums and showed that he still had some major drumming chops.

 

The ones I remember:

Beach Boys
SRV
Huey Lewis and the News
Micheal Schenker
Vinny Moore
Def Leppard
Judas Priest
Iron Maiden
Olivia Newton John
Bob Dylan
Johnny Winter
