Which musicians or bands have you most liked seeing live?

I do remember as teenager aged 16 going to the Gaumont Theatre in my home town of Wolverhampton to see Bill Haley and the Comets. This was one of the first Rock and Roll bands ever and caused a lot of newspaper coverage as kids actually got up and danced in the aisles of the theatre - that simply was not done. You were supposed to be well behaved and sit quietly and listen to the music. Their most famous hits were "Rock around the Clock" and " Shake,Rattle and Roll".

You can still hear them once in while. After that I lost interest in music, pop music in particular.
