In no particular order (all of them were great):

Joe in Basel
Eric Steckel in Rattenberg
Aynsley Lister in Augsburg
King King in Roth
Robert Cray in Munich

Even fools say something worthwhile now and again

Re: Top 5 gigs in 2014

Peach Fest - can't split this one up because so many interactions among the bands (Govt Mule, Allman Brothers and Tedeschi Trucks)

Hebden Bridge Blues Festival - great set by Virgil and the Accelerators, but the post show jams that went on half the night included Aynsley Lister and Jon Amor - great weekend

Virgil and the Accelerators at the Flowerpot, Derby - awesome show and Mr Meerkat spent the evening on Virgil's amp

Joe at Hampton Beach - a small venue for Joe these days, he really seems to enjoy playing here and it shows

Tom Petty at Fenway Park, Boston - an iconic band in an iconic place

honorable mention:  Zac Brown, also at Fenway.  These are a great bunch of musicians and they played their hearts out for 3 hours.  NOT just a country band by any means

Re: Top 5 gigs in 2014

I don't get out to very many shows these days, so here's everything I saw:

1) Umphrey's McGee
2) Steel Panther
3) Judas Priest

Umphrey's was just awesome - they totally blew me away.  Didn't see Joe this year... maybe next year.
