So we've done guitar player. How about vocalists? I think it matters how they sounded when you saw them. Did they impress you or exceed or fall short of expectations.
My List.
1. Tom Jones. He was late 70's or almost 80 when I saw him in Boston a year or so ago. Moved around like a cat, and his voice hasn't lost anything. I went in with low expectations and came away very, very impressed. Honestly one of the best shows I've seen.
2. Robin Zander. I've seen Cheap Trick 5 times (one more coming up). He never lets me down. Underrated singer with great range. Hasn't lost any of it. When he does the Flame it really showcases his abilities.
3. Boy George. At what was Bank Boston Pavilion. Wife talked me into it (Thompson Twins played too). The guy is just a fantastic vocalist. You can hear it so clearly on "Do They Know It's Christmas" where the only other voice that stands out is Bono, and for a different reason.
4. Bono. Two shows. He can sing, has solid range and brings a lot of power and emotion to his vocals that aren't just amplification.
5. Chris Isaak: Have seen him twice, great performer and his voice is like velvet. Amazing at Elvis covers which says a lot really.
On the disappointing list, Pat Benatar. Small venue two years ago. She was perfectly fine, but not up to her reputation.
