Maceo Parker at Mardi Gras in 98. He was the lead sax player for James Brown and now he has his own jazz/funk band that had the entire place jumping.

To add to this thread what was your 1st concert?

Mine = Rick Springfield in 1983 (I was 7)

Suicidal Tendencies in Germany in 86, this ugly german chick stage-dived and missed the crowd.

Saw Killing Joke later that year and that was a great show.

Just saw the Rev. Horton Heat a week or so ago here in UT, that's always pretty good entertainment as well.
