This page takes a long time to load... but once it does load someone needs to review number 26.

I no longer read Rolling Stone, and won't patronize their website, but I understand they got the #1 performing artist *exactly* correct!

I'm going to bet I can guess this one without even looking...

Let's just say that anyone who would put The Late Leonard Cohen in a list of "live" anything obviously is not a native English speaker....having a pulse being the minimum requirement for being "live"...

I guess it's kinda like Dales posting a list of the 50 Most Interesting Criminals from the late 60's and challenging you to guess one person who might be on it.

Just for LJ.....

26. Leonard Cohen
Cohen emerged from a fifteen-year hiatus in 2008 with marathon shows that showcase all of his best songs. His band is absolutely stunning, and, at 78, his deeper-than-deep voice is captivating. The three-and-a-half hour show seems to pass by in minutes.

Showstopper: He doesn't do many covers, but his set-closing rendition of "Save the Last Dance for Me" almost makes you forget the Drifters version even exists.

Billy Joel is missing...been to two concerts, and he gives a SPECTACULAR show!
