U2 !! Bono is like Jesus. Not that he’s God, but that he is incredibly charismatic. AMAZING!
And TobyMac puts on a pretty fun show. He’s never disappointed me live.

True Love Waits Rally in DC Summer of 1994 – Degarmo and Key, Petra, and SCC. – I mean come on, Eddie Degarmo is my keyboard hero.
Bon Jovi – Valentine’s Day 2003- The GEC (now Sommet) – was in a Suite so it was way awesome! We went for Goo Goo Dolls who were opening but then Bon Jovi came out and BLEW US AWAY.
Johnny Q. Public – Fall of 1997 – KC Youth for Christ building: Loud rock and roll for Jesus… ’nuff said.
WaterDeep sometime in 96/97 at The New Earth Cafe in Kansas City. Hippie rock and loving Jesus. awesome.
Maroon5 at Dancing in the District 2003. Well put together and a great all-around show.
I have way more but have to stop.

hard to pick out the best, but i would have to say either NIN and David Bowie back in ’95, or the New Pornographers at 9:30 Club in DC in ’05. They played the perfect setlist…
