TheMailManThe 1975 put on one hell of a show
bongripperDude YES. Nice, short, and I was never bored. All around good show.
DeebieSkeebiesAll Them Witches @The State Room in SLC a few years ago was great, Super small intimate venue which made it feel so much more alive. Good shit, a lot of my favorite bands are blowing up now and aren't really doing small circuits or hitting SLC much anymore, kind of a bummer.
Khruangbin at that same venue mentioned before. Didnt know who they were and went with my ex who got free tickets so that was a cool show.
King Buffalo and The Sword; Both killer bands, insane experience. The Sword played like an hour encore till like 1am that was wicked, at Metro Music Hall in SLC.
Most recent was Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats w/ Graveyard as their opener. Never heard of Graveyard before but they were incredible and are one of my favorite bands now. Uncle Acid was insane, total gut punch of heavyness and groovyness. Played all sorts of good songs, new ones and old ones, the band told some fuckers in the front row to get the fuck out cuz they were fighting and security took em away, some girl next to me cut her foot open dancing, lost her shoe, went into the pit to go retrieve it, and came back alive.....Shit was a fun show for sure. Also at Metro Music Hall.
Metro Music Hall seems to get some of my favorite stoner rock/stoner metal bands so im hyped, but my dream is to attend something like Desertfest in europe or one of the other massive desert rock/stoner rock/heavy psych/metal festivals in Europe.....Greece for some reason has been like a breeding ground for insane music.

TheMailManseen them twice in the UK and also caught their show at Portland by myself when I was skiing at Hood earlier this year. Best show of my life.
SharkoMy fav show start to finish was Zeal and Ardor —> Baroness —> Deafheaven. All 3 bands were at the top of their game and just seemed to be loving what they were doing
JemsHow recently have you seen deafheaven? It seems George has kind of lost his voice.
ALMIGHTYSOSAlil boosie
LonelyI've seen RHCP three times now. Would recommend
bongripperFuck dude I really need to see Uncle Acid live, and The Sword and most of the bands you've mentioned. They're just all insane. I'd love to go to Psycho Las Vegas one day, all the stoner/doom/psych bands play their and it's huge.
CharlzHubFuck I’d be very keen to see them. Must be pretty good to want to see them 3 times
CharlzHubWhat/who’s shows or concerts have you been to that you’d recommend or tell people to avoid attending?
I’ll start by saying that Juice WRLD sucks ass live
theabortionatorSeen too many to rate.
Concerts are chill
PeppermillRenoYou looking forward to Goose and Pigeons at Crystal Ballroom or whatever that north shore casino is called? Idk if I’ll be around but that is can’t miss shit I love both.
Gonna check out Del the Funky Homosapien Friday at Mont Blu you hitting that. Honestly can’t recall my last rap show it has been a while.
theabortionatorI probably will be at that del show actually. Not too much im dying to see but my friends are playing a few times up north, railroad earth at cbc is fun, stoked for moe. In march in sf/cbc.
Im sure more stuff will be announce but trying not to spend too much money at the moment. Kinda getting boned in the ski industry if thats any different than usual.

theabortionatorDid you end up going? I had a good time. Showed up at Northstar 2 hours late but yolo
Twinjibber77I tried to use my BS ranking system on quality of the show and not necessarily how much I enjoy the performer; this is what I got from most memorable shows. Major Lazer is the closest thing to a thumping, organized riot that I've ever attended (and loved it) while Bob Dylan is the most trash event I have ever attended. Side note: Austin City Limits is a chunk of change, but COMPLETELY worth it and I think the same about most festivals in Europe.
Mine go as far back as 10 years and none in the last two years, but:
-Pretty Lights: Absolutely
-Flogging Molly: Yes, probably not an absolutely because it was a festival
-The Weeknd @ ACL: Absolutely
-Florence and the Machine: Yes
-Bob Dylan: No (Hell, no)
-Snoop/Lion: Maybe
-Purity Ring: Absolutely
-ASAP Rocky/ASAP Mob: Yes, but high probability you'll get jumped if you don't act right
-Lil Wayne: Maybe, but a higher probability you'll get jumped if you don't act right
-Mumford and Sons: Absolutely
-Kid Cudi (early 2010's): Absolutely
-Collie Buddz: Absolutely, if you're into it
-DL Incognito: Absolutely
-Chance the Rapper: Absolutely
-Alt-J: Yes and I'm not even into that
-Major Lazer: Absolutely, hands down the best show I've ever been to
-Crystal Castles: Absolutely
-Phantogram: Absolutely
-The XX: Absolutely
-Disclosure: Absolutely
-TV on the Radio: Absolutely
-Brand New: Yes (Could be hit or miss from what I've heard otherwise)
-Marshlemmo: Absolutely, if you're into it
-Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad: Absolutely
-Big Gigantic: Yes
-Wiz Khalifa: Yes
-Avicii: Yes, just glad I got to experience it when I could
-Zed: Absolutely and I'm not even into that
-Any part of Wu-Tang: Hit or miss quality, but absolutely a ball
-Any Vans Warped Tour: Hit or miss, I went to a ton of these late 00's/early10's and now they just look like they're trying to lure the late 20's/early 30's crowd back with washed up bands and a few standouts
J_ChristophI know I’m missing a ton (not to mention too many local/smaller bands to count) but here are some of the bigger names that I could think of while sitting here..
Death Cab For Cutie- Absolutely loved it. Felt like I was watching Pollard ski the entire time.
The Strumbellas- Yes for feel good music
Nothing But Thieves- Yes
Awolnation- can’t stand ”Sail” but in concert it was completely different live and they’ve got some other really rocky music
The Offspring- Yes. So sick.
State Champs- Opened for Sleeping With Sirens and honestly ended up being my favorite set
Tonight Alive- Chick lead singer was was sick
WaterParks- Nothing too special but a good opener and could vibe with their music
Sleeping With Sirens- Kellin Quinn is incredible and it was a good mix of rowdy and laid back
Nicholas Petricca- Yes
Joshua James- Yes
Krewella- Had never heard of them but was pleasantly surprised with a good time
Neon Trees- Yes
Imagine Dragons- I’m not an Imagine Dragons fan but this may have been top 5 favorite shows of all time. Loveloud festival was an awesome event and they beat the hell put
Smokepurpp- About what you would imagine and honestly there were no complaints
Post Malone- So good live and puts on an incredible show. Saw him after his first album when his tickets were around $30 and the dude is chill as fuck and just happy to be there
Billy Currington- Not really huge on country but the guy makes you like country for an hour (same goes for Jake Owen and Jason Aldean)
Dan + Shay- Pass
Quinn XCII- Super fun show and the guy has got some good music
Rufus Du Sol- Felt like a spiritual experience
Zhu- Not the biggest fan of the guys music..gets a little too repetitive when it sounds like the same song for 20 minutes.
Hippie Sabotage- Seen them twice now and it’s a great time every time
Local Natives- Yes
Snakeships-Yes
WIZ KHALIFA- Stood touching the stage and it was my favorite concert of all time hands down! Wiz is the fucking man and puts on an incredible set.
Carlie Hanson- Opened for Bad Suns and was the most entertaining part of the show
Bad Suns- Honestly got a little bored
HYP3R_REAL1TYnz gets no good acts
