either Fogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys, The Wailers, one of the times seeing Sam Roberts, Jeff Beck, first time seeing Protest the Hero.
I think, I've seen way too many shows that are just amazing in their own way so it's really hard to say. Those are the ones that stand out.

U2. That shit was amazing, but they barely ever go on tour.

The Grouch was pretty dope.

If you want to go to a show with some real energy I recommend a metal show.

best concert overall: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club or MAN MAN. seriously, if you ever have a chance to go see man man, do it.
best metal show: Every Time I Die
best dj set: steve aoki or the bloody beetroots. or steve aoki AND the bloody beetroots, together.
best hip hop show:N.E.R.D. or Blackstar. possibly jay z.
best comedy show: dave attell, 3 years ago. dave attell now is not as good.
best pop-punk show: the academy is...

worst shows: wu-tang, Taking back sunday, dfa 1979. basically any DJ besides the two named above.

As far as a band putting on a good show, GWAR is always a spectacle.
In terms of an overall show, The Flaming Tsunamis never disappoint, and their Halloween show of 2008 (I think?) was wild.

Phish at bonnaroo was pretty epic. Def a sick tour last year. They're def back.  Moe. always puts on a good show.Further has been playing well this last tour with a summer tour just announced.

Idk I could go on for days of shows to see. Most of the kids on here listen to god awful music I would almost assume.


Festivals to go to this year so far.... All Good(http://www.allgoodfestival.com/artists.htm), Nateva(http://natevafestival.com/bands/), Bear creek.

Maybe summer camp and wakarusa.  All good is def taking the place of losing rothbury this year. Nateva might be up there too when the whole lineup gets released.

Def bonnaroo is a shitty way to spend your money this year. Don't waste it

wow, skewed at best. Wu tang worst show? Jesus your crazy man. Maybe you should have gone a few years earlier. Somebody who has been to a few shows and already telling everyone what the best and worst bands are. You need to go to more shows man.

The hardest thing about loving coldplay is telling your friends your gay.Seriously doubt it was a bad show, I dont mind a few of the songs. Waters is sort of depending on how much you like floyd. Pink floyd musically is a hell of a lot better than so much of the shit out there today. Animals is one of my favorite albums. And waters always puts on a good show. Still have yet to see gilmour.

As for matisyahu, yeah right. He wasn't that bad in 05. Wasn't great but was decent. He needed to improve. Instead he steadily got worse.


Why do people even post there top shows when they've been to less than 5.

piss off you asshat. wu tang is a shitty show. I've seen them twice in the last four years, they never put forth any energy, they dont ever look like they want to be there. I've also seen most of them solo, I've seen ghostface twice, rza twice, gza four times, raekwon once. the only one I'd ever pay to see after all of those would be raekwon, or maybe gza if 50 cent is off the radar at the moment.

i've been to more shows in the last year then you have been in your entire life, spanning more genres then you've ever listened to, so go fuck yourself for telling me how to rate musicians. I know what a good show is, and what a shitty show is.

Really more shows in the last year than I've been to in my entire life? That might be hard considering how many shows and festivals I went to just in the last year myself. And I've actually see many many genres of bands. Fuck your couch dude.

Rap-Kid Cudi "great hangover tour"
Rock- Godsmack "crue fest 09"
Country- Alan Jackson
Pop- Lady gaga "monster ball tour
hip hop- Kanye "glow in the dark"
Acounstic- Andrew Mcmahon from Jacks Mannequin and something corperate.



I have seen about 40 shows since last summer because of my job, and cant wait for this summer to start up. So far ill deffinetly be seeing, DMB, John Mayer, Jay z, sugarland, Toby keith, Brad paisley, Drake, among many others that I dont have time to list. Probably 20+.

I have to add my skewed opinion. Keep in mind that I only listen to classic rock/80s rock. Bon Jovi: went to the opening of The Circle Tour last week in Seattle and it was fucking amazing. If you like Bon Jovi's older stuff, but not necessarily their newer stuff, the now is the time to go, believe it or not. They still rock live, and Dashboard Confessional is opening for them during their March and April tour dates. Def Leppard: absolutely rocks live. That's the easiest way to say it--they simply rock.

Only memorable show would be Jason Aldean back in the fall. I do want to see an Iron Maiden and Daft Punk show before I die though. Brooks & Dunn too, but that won't happen since they just retired.
