Yes (the Union tour 1991). It opened in Pensacola, FL. They did four days of rehearsal, and that is where I met Chris Squire (bass), and Rick Wakeman (keyboard). I was in uniform when I was at a rehearsal, and I went to the main show later. For a musician, it is an experience and a half!
Another great group (musically) that I saw, was Jethro Tull at the State Fair back in the late nineties. Ian Anderson is the man who brought flute to rock and roll.
Pat Metheney is one of the best jazz (and all around) guitarists ever. I saw him three years ago at Chandler Center for the Arts (in AZ). He was promoting his "The Way Up" CD. He is in two bands; he has five musicians (including pianist and co-writer Lyle Mays) in one band, and he heads a trio. When saw him with his trio in '04, he had Christian McBride on bass, and Antonio Sanchez on drums. Christian McBride is a highly sought after bass player in jazz. He has his own quartet as well. Anotonio Sanchez is one of the greatest percussionists in jazz
