I can't speak for the current incarnation of the Spin Doctors (although they did put on a good show in their prime), but a Cowboy Mouth concert is a thing to behold at least once in your life. Fred LeBlanc is the only guy I've seen who can work a breakdown and "clap your hands"-type patter into every single song in the set and actually make even jaded concert-goers like me actually want to do it. Their music is highly forgettable and no one in the civilized world needs to actually own a Cowboy Mouth album, but seeing the live show is worth the $5 or whatever it must cost to get into an event as illustrious as "Rib Fest."
As for Big Head Todd, that's worth seeing, too. Big Head Todd, the Pixies, and the Gourds (you may recall their bluegrass cover of Snoop Dogg's "Gin and Juice") all on the same day at ACL Fest sounds like a little slice o' heaven.
