U2 is one of those bands that really doesn't require much of an introduction, but I just have a couple things to say about my selection for Episode 12. This concert took place during the beginning of U2's Joshua Tree tour which coincided with the release of probably their most legendary CD.
With the worldwide success of the CD and tour, U2 was catapulted from mere super band to mega band status and have only continued upward since. This recording is easily one of the best sounding that I have heard and the set list covers many of their biggest hits during that period. While there is nothing like seeing a U2 performance live, here is a recording that gives you the next best thing without having to stand in line for hours to get tickets. Song listing

Episode #11 of the Live Music Podcast brings another unique style of music somewhat like the last episode. In this episode I am featuring a band called Rodrigo y Gabriela made up of Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero. This duo's musical style is something of a combination of mariachi and heavy metal, which might make them the only band on the planet to do so. All of their songs are strictly acoustic and instrumental, played on a pair of classical guitars. Amazingly they are able to play in such a way that you would swear that there is someone else playing percussion instruments with them. Regardless of how you describe their style I find Rodrigo y Gabriela's music very energetic and uplifting, the musical equivalent to a box of Red Bull.
