Gawd I sound too nostalgic. I have been to some amazing shows more recently too - Janelle Monae in a 2,000 person venue, Cimafunk is great live. Charley Crockett and Leon Bridges, Tyler Childers (I did not love the venue but he is amazing). J Roddy Walston and the Business oh my God what a live act they were, and we got to see them in bars.
But FELA, that really was a special thing to experience.
Fela Kuti. Absolutely transcendent.
Runners up - Henry Rollins, Bad Brains.
