I saw the Beach Boys twice as well, once as an opening act for Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (Neil's 1974 reunion tour with the guys).
Were you citing the BB as Least or Most cool?

I considered myself a dork for going. I saw them once with Katrina and the Waves but I have no recall on the other event. Sigh, I saw CSN but no Y. Steven is one fine player.

Coolest: I don't know... Santana and Phish? Page & Plant? Grateful Dead, but I can't pick just one show.... Oh, Indigo Girls at the Tower Theater was pretty dern cool...
Most Lame: Manheim Steamroller I saw CSN open for the Dead so many times I stopped going in for them. But CSNY(2K) blew my mind. One of those once in a lifetime, I'm so glad I went (6 mos pregnant) kinda things.
