LOL

That's wild! In your experience, who do you think is a can't miss act? Also, do your ears ring permanently?

One of my favorite acts currently touring is the Tedeschi Trucks Band who are ironically a Jacksonville product. 
But I tend to enjoy most shows I attend for varying reasons. 
(Dereck Trucks is the nephew of Allman Bros. drummer Butch Trucks - a phenom slide gtr player - Susan Tedeschi is his wife and an incredible singer - they write together and produce awesome Americana/roots rock) 

Best show I remember attending that felt like a can't miss show was RUSH "Hold Your Fire" tour many, many years ago. I was a kid and totally blown away. 

Since one of my jobs is producing and promoting concerts at a venue - I don't often get to book the stuff I necessarily want to see, but rather stuff guaranteed to put butts in seats and make money. 

And my other job is touring and playing shows on stage to crowds of 1500-3000 ppl. So that one doesn't give me a wide range of artists to take in except when I am doing a festival or we get some really good opening acts on a tour.

So I may only happen across 10-12 artists each year that have a chance to make that sort of impression on me.  

A few years ago I was at a festival that got moved to an indoor theater due to weather and we played just before a not yet super famous Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit. 
I stood in the side wings of the stage and watched him deliver a performance of some newly written songs (one of which was destined to become a hit soon thereafter) and was mesmerized at how he captured the previously raucous and rowdy room with well crafted song after song. I guess I'd put that group on my shortlist somewhere if you like singer/songwriter stuff. He has a real knack for it. 

I'll think of some others and post later.

I do have hearing loss and tinitus. It's a real problem. The use of in ear monitoring systems helps, and I wish I'd been doing it my whole career. 

Many venues now impose a DB limit of anywhwere from 98-104 decibels. 
110-120 db shows used to be the norm. 
2 hours of that will wreck you.
