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.

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.

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...

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.

They had Goo Goo Dolls, Default, Nickleback, Lifehouse, Tea Party, Billy Idol, Garbage, Midnight Oil, and a whole bunch more. Also there was the Globe highest air challenge in this massive half pipe.
It was an 8 hour mosh !
I couldn't move the next day.
Made in Tasmania.
Suitable for ages 5+.
Set includes lots of guns and ski equipment.

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
