shows youve been to that were gah gah great? for me..

1) tokyo ska paradise orchestra. i dont even listen to a whole lot of ska anymore but something about a dozen well dressed, matching incredibly talented asian guys playing horns crazily, spinning around, etc. makes me wanna do anything to see them again.

2) animal collective. im not even really sure what happened but it was amazing

3) ted leo+pharmacists or spoon. not the most energetic shows but just so well played. better than cd quality.

4) leftover crack- uh... yyyyyeah, this one was energetic

1.) The original Wailers @ Shaggy's club in SLC.. hands down the best show i have ever seen. Nothing like 60 year old Rastas playing roots reggae, and never missing a beat.

2.) Talib Kweli and Madvillain @ Suede in PC.

3.) Sparta at a little club in SLC... it was a super snowy night, so not many people showed up... we just chilled on the balcony and rocked out.

4.) Dredg... they are so tight.

5.) The Black Eyed Peas & N.E.R.D. at a little club in SLC. I am not the hugest fan of either, but trust me, they put on a VERY entertaining show.. especially in a little club.

I saw one of Face to Face 's last shows ever that they threw in their home area (hollywood). They had been together for about 14 years and did one last show before going their seperate ways. It was without a doubt the best show I have ever been to. Really was an emotional experience, especially with how hard and into it they were. They played for about an hour and a half nonstop without any breaks at all. From one song straight into the next. It was insane. Amazingly good show.

Also, another good one was AFI 2 years ago. It was their last show for a while (until they finish their new cd) and first show for a long time (Davey Havok had bad larengitis). They put on a whole performance.

Death by stereo is close behind along with: norma jean, underoath, emery, and billy idol!

wow, I have been listing off a whole bunch. But I can't forget social distortion, the sounds, bad religion, alkaline trio, killswitch, the explosion (the lead singer was drunk off his ass and was funny as hell. fell over the speaker), and mae was pretty chill.
Guess they all are my favorites. different shows for different reasons.

fucking idiot.

best shows ever:

talib and mos def
the bled (sf twice, santa cruz for a super intimate show)
norma jean on the atreyu tour... atreyu was faggoty but norma jean was amazing.

AS CITIES BURN
i have seen them 4 times and every single time they amaze me. they are one of the most solid bands out there.

saw haste the day two nights ago. first metal band i have seen that sounds better live than on the cd. jimmy (vox) screams were PERFECT. drums were fast and tight. guitars sick, and backup singers were perfect as well.
