Diplo's Birthday Party in Philly.

Free Pizza for 2000+ people, grown men and women in pizza, hotdog, and softdrink costumes, hot ironically dressed hipster broads, and no division between stage and audience, and the standard show/party staples.

Alternatively, Trail of Dead's set at ATP in NY last year. Violence as performance art.

Blink (two weeks ago) and The Rolling Stones were the BEST concerts i have ever seen.

and the CRAZIEST concert I have ever seen was most likely Chiodos at warped tour or Rage Against the Machine last year.

Chiodos=BBBOOO...  personally, cant stand their sound.  nothing against you but the dudes voice is fucking annoying.

Crue Fest last year was a little bizarre.

ROTHBURY, all of it.

I've seen STS9, Bassnectar, and EOTO many times over and they always put on a fuckin' wild show.  Go see Bassnectar... 

String Cheese Incident is an amazing time as well, if you have the chance to see them...

I saw RATM at alpine valley a couple years ago, which was pretty damn sick too.

Uhhhhhhh too many concerts to think back on...

Go see bassnectar

Probably this Halloween show I went to last year. My Heart to Joy, Cold Snap, Hostage Calm, The Fad (last performance in CT) and the Flaming Tsunamis. I know I'm always hyping TFT, but it's because they're that fucking good. Nearly everyone was in a costume, one of those long tube lights fell on me during Hostage Calm's set at the exact same time someone threw fake blood in the crowd, trash can got thrown, Chicken fights on people's shoulder's outside, stage dives, and then TFT came out dressed like Santa and his elves and threw "snow" (confetti) into the crowd. There was confetti in my car for weeks after.

a michael franti concert, great vibes + it was a superhot summer and his songs were so well suited....

and a wombats concert, we got this giant beachball that we litterally rallied several times on stage and then first the leadsinger threw it back towards us and next time it was the basist, so crazy to interact with them...

oh, and a daft punk concert where we made a 5ppl high human pyramid! we even got on their plasma screens!

The Roots last July. It was a free concert, so the amount of people was absurd.

Ratatat last September. So incredible live.

Michael Franti in January. Free concert in Park City. There were so many different kinds of people, and everybody was happy and dancing and smoking. Such good vibes.

Last Halloween I went and saw the Poontanglers at the pirate bar, Snug Harbor. Everyone's costumes were pretty intense, I internally screamed a couple times.

Leftover Crack at the Allen Theater in Compton.  By the end of the show you had to stand in the doorway of the bathroom and piss into it because of how bad the floor was.

I also went to a festival thing called Global Gathering in England where its like 100,000 British people on every drug known to man camping out for 3 days with no police presence, and Daft Punk and Tiesto and Dj Yoda and all the world's best drum and bass playing at night.  By the third day the value of drugs becomes meaningless and you can trade weed or cigarettes for excellent cocaine because weed is the hardest thing to sneak in and nobody brings enough smokes.  A couple people die every year though, but with that many people that isn't too bad.  I think one year someone got beat to death though, that was pretty bad.  These days its a little bigger and they have carnival rides and shit there too.

MTN JAM at hunter mtn in NY. It is a 3 day festivel mad hippy jam bands, but GIRL TALKwas there and some other sick techno/ dubstep stuff. Me and my 3 friends live not far from hunter so we just parked and snuck under the fence. It was so easy to sneak in cause how are you gonna fence off a whole MTN. But GIRL TALK was the first night, it was dope every one was rollin or trippin out, soo many druggsss. i saw many people in the fetal position, and i even saw this dude freaking the fuck out, and it took 5 security guards to haul him outta the crowd
