| Best Jazz Fest Sets you've ever seen Posted by BRTIIGER58 Seen some great ones but Allman Brothers in 1998, Steely Dan in 2007 and Stevie Wonder in 2008 were unforgettable on 1/13 at 7:56 pmReply • Back to Top |

| Alman Brothers not sure the year in the 90s and SRV. With SRV hands down being the best. Reply • Back to Top |
| Calexico in 2007 and Stevie Wonder in 2008 were very memorable for me Reply • Back to Top |
| Ry Cooder/ Bonnie Raitt in 1986. Stevie Ray as a nighttime JazzFest concert, with Dr John and BB King in 87. Van Morrison in 2009. Reply • Back to Top |
Posted by CherryGarciaMan on 1/13 at 11:21 pm to BRTIIGER58 Seeing Levon Helm in 2010 is my all-time concert highlight. Not the greatest show, but my personal fave. Reply • Back to Top |

| Allman Bros in 1996. TO this day, I've never heard a better live gig than that day. They sounded unreal. Phish in 1996 was pretty cool. Reply • Back to Top |
Posted by Tigris on 1/14 at 9:26 am to BRTIIGER58 Little Feat on the riverboat President, 1988. Best concert I've seen period. Bonnie Raitt in the mid 80's was not crowded at all and did a great acoustic concert with a minimal band. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: they were good, but i wasn't overwhelmed. and i'm a pretty big PJ fan. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Agreed. If I remember correctly, sometime during their set they teased out the intro to St. Stephen as a tribute to Jerry Garcia, who had died in August the year before. Crowd went wild. Another set that comes to mind is John Fogerty, can't remember the year - late 90s early 00s. Reply • Back to Top |
| Also, Ive seen him a bunch there so I cant remember the year, but one particular Paul Simon set was incredible... There was a RAy Charles set in the 90s that was top notch too... Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Wetlands All Stars followed by Helm followed by Allman Bros was JF nirvana. Reply • Back to Top |
| Foo Fighters last year was pretty amazing Some of my other favorites include BB King, James Taylor, Allman Brothers, and Counting Crows Reply • Back to Top |
quote: I remember sitting there throughout the day thinking that I was seeing something special. Helm and the Allmans on the same stage on the same day. That was an awesome day. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: One of the guys I was with said after the Levon Helm set, "We should just leave now. It's not going to get any better than that." But then the Allmans were even better. Maybe my best day at Jazzfest ever. Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
