Eric Clapton a couple of summers ago was amazing. He played a little bit of everything, and had a blues jam with Buddy Guy. It was a great show, except the tickets were very expensive. I have also seen a ton of awesome jazz shows too! My favorites being Oscar Peterson and Sonny Rollins. Got to love the small venues too!

The Tea Party in Rochester this past summer was the best. Front row. Just absolutely amazing. Second place goes to a punk show. Leftover Crack with local band Switch 86 opening. That show was just really cool. One of my favorite punk bands, and so much energy is the small bar. It was just sweet.

Midtown, Taking Back Sunday, Recover and The American Dream in Seattle

I have many opinions but sometimes i dont agree with some of them - george w bush

 
harry connick jr. hands down.. that man has more tallent in his little finger than most rock bands will ever have... ever.

meh, i'm bitter. i went to boulder to see those same bands on the best revenge tour (midtown, taking back sunday, and recover) and tbs didn't come. they're my favorite. i did get to see them when they came back to denver about a month ago. i was front row and in front of this bar thing so i didn't get squished. best show i've been to sober.

hollidays in the sun, sept 2002. so much energy, the 3 day thing with a million bands was great too, i saw at least one band that i listen to frequently play. and the business was fucking amazing

'He got fired? What did he do?'

'He jumped off of the roof again'
 
sector seven, treble charger and BTK were sick at the kee to bala. but then again, any show at the kee kicks ass!

A bad day on skis is better than a good day on a snowboard!
 
Snowjam bands suck shit! Yeah the Kee is the shit eh? Every year we wear sombreros and go see Sloan just beasted! It's a drunken tradition!

its kinda a toss-up for me bewteen the P E A R L JAM benifit show in seattle in 2000 because it was so amazing to be in the key arean with a sold out crowd singing along to daughter. and then GUSTER at the showbox just cuz it was so small and amazing

the magazine is called 'POWDER' cool! - my stupid non-skiing friend
 
I dunno man, they were really good when I saw them. Duane is definately missing though.

CKY in rochester, first row... sooo sick... bullfrog at snowjam was great, i was lost in there tunes, then got to meet em, dropkick murphy's and pennywise at the 2001 warped tour were both sick

hahaha i turned not by choice down for the soundtrack of the bentfilms video not last season, but the season before that... and now look at em... funny thing is? i dont care! hahaha

late

I can't choose between PEARL JAM (mtl 2000) and RADIOHEAD (mtl 2001)...They are for sure the best 2 shows I have seen

 
endfest 11... because of more then the music i kinda found something deeper while listening to daspboard confessional - hands down, i was only 8 rows back with the girl i love

bela fleck and the flecktones....hands down.

paul simon was pretty good too.,

theres a natural mystic flowing through the air if you listen carefully now you will hear. its the first trumpet calling. might as well be the last. many more will have to suffer many more will have to die dont ask me why. things are not the way they used to be.

Shit man, the pennywise in toronto would take first definetly followed by toronto snowjam this year it fucking wicked but i lost my hat.

Props to Ian for stating the obvious. And who goes to shows were you sit in a row, screw that I want to be able to climb on stage and any concert you pay more than 15 bucks to go to sucks unless it has more bands than dollars it costs or is for a good cause. And no some rich white dudes wallet doesnt count as a good cause unless its mine. Who ever said Bane in kingsfield maine is the best show they went too...bane puts on an amazing show but I dont think any show in Maine will ever qualify as the best ever.

Hands down my best show has to either be the First Back to School Jam at the rat in boston, Dropkick Murphys at the Rat (when mike was still singing, before they started to suck) or the Slapshot show in Plymouth mass...all these are years ago. Great shows are rare today...

A brave man will not live forever but a coward will never live.
 
hey, i live a sheltered life but the bane show was intense... picture 100+ people in an area as big as a decent sized living room. everyone was up and moving around and singing along. plus outbreak and never say die played...

 
holy shit umphreys mgee on sat. blew me away. It also helped taht I was rolling, tripping, stoned off my ass, and used a bunch of DiPT before the concert and smoked a fatty blunt while we were there. Best time of my life though tons of people i knew there and there are mad amounts of shrooms and everyone was tripping. It was at the Rave II which has a tiny ass staage but i was like standing right next to the band we were so close and the sound and lights were sweet. They played another brick in the wall and thats all i really remember haha. I like concerts outside a lot more though, and in summer.

Phish three years ago, at Alpine Valley, WI. I live really close, it was crazy. Everyone was freakin' out man.

1. Phish '99 in Philly...Front and center then backstage...Super funky show!!!

2.Particle '02 at Bonaroo...Stayed up all night partyin...show started at 7am....Intense Funk!

 
I would say Dream Theater right after they released Metropolis 2000, but I'm going to catch the Trans-Siberian Orchestra on 26-Dec-02

Telefreeride: big boards, free heels, no poles, all soul
 
went to see goldfinger and autopilot off open for sum 41 and sum played an amazing set, if you don't like their music go to a show cause you'll actually gain respect for them. misfits 25th anniversary tour was by far the best show ever and the Smalls farewell tour
