4/4/2006 8:54:19 AM

Interpol in Asheville last year was pretty awesome. Oh, and weezer in raleigh back in 1997 on the pinkerton tour was amazing as well.

due to the number of shows I attend, I'm having a hard time with this one. there've been so many great ones.

4/4/2006 9:04:14 AM

Paul McCartney, RBC Center, October 2002.

4/4/2006 9:05:54 AM

4/4/2006 9:12:09 AM

tool at the ritz back during the aenima tour

jamiroquai is incredible live.. capital ballroom in 97

pearl jam in philly last fall was awesome as well. they just played obscure song ater obscure song.. as much fun as evenflo is live, it was nice to hear sonic reducer, alone, and crown of thorns.. pretty much a once-in-a-lifetime show

and they played evenflo anyway

i'm sure there are others, but radiohead has been a super-letdown every time i went.. never had anything to do with the band

4/4/2006 9:35:28 AM

pixies in philly last year was also a stellar show

Incubus/Hoobastank The Ritz Fall 2001
The Dead August/Sept 2005 Walnut Creek...it might've been 2004

2nd Best Concert I ever Attended:

G Love and Special Sauce with Ben Harper @ (what is currenly known as) Disco Rodeo, forgot what it used to be called


3rd Best Concert I ever Attended:

Keller Williams @ Lincoln Theatre about 3, maybe 4, years ago...its amazing what kinda music that guy puts out all by himself.

4/4/2006 3:43:22 PM

DKM, well the opener anyways, the rest I don't really remember.

So in that case AC/DC, those guys can still rock in their old age.

4/4/2006 3:59:14 PM

^^ the ritz, i refuse to ever call it the disco rodeo

4/4/2006 4:02:25 PM

Thanks, it just slipped my mind for a while.

Yeah, the Ritz/"Disco Rodeo" is now some random Mexican Discotecha

4/4/2006 4:07:36 PM

yeah, muse was pretty rowdy
badly drawn boy at the cradle last year was pretty sweet as well
oh, and the shins in asheville was amazing too

I saw the Dead in Raleigh in 2004. Great set but the energy was kinda low. Never saw Jerry unfortunately. Tom Petty seems to always put on a great show too.

4/5/2006 1:23:31 AM

Mr. Bungle, August 1999 in Spartenburg. Dillinger Escape Plan opened up for that one. It was amazing.

4/5/2006 1:26:30 AM

Had I been to that Nickelback show where the crowd pelted them with rocks, it would have been the best show I ever attended.


But seriously, The Roots and 311 in Philadelpha, July 2004.

4/5/2006 1:29:21 AM

Evenescence @ Tremont Music Hall in Charlotte, NC.

We were about 15 feet from the stage and this was before they got huge so it was a small venue. Absolutely amazing.

4/5/2006 7:26:02 AM

The longest with a little bit of everything: KWS/Ted Nugent/ZZ Top

The group who sounded closest to the records: Boston

The best show: Ted Nugent shooting bow and arrows at people hidden in bunkers on stage.

The best normal show: The Doobie Brothers

The best jam and musicianship: The Allman Brothers Band

The most fun: Skynyrd and the Allmans 2 years ago.

Where am I headed tomorrow night? Lincoln Theatre to see Derek Trucks!

4/5/2006 8:39:39 AM

Pink Floyd -

4/5/2006 8:48:50 AM

In terms of sheer fun, KISS with Poison as the opener. Really. I mean it.

Close behind is my fond memory of seeing Weezer and Nerf Herder.

Then throw in The Archers of Loaf's last two shows at the Cradle for sentamental reasons.

4/5/2006 11:18:30 AM

Dream Theater at Radio City Music Hall NYC - April 1, 2006

During the second set they brought out an orchestra for the rest of the show. The whole show was also filmed/recorded for a DVD/CD release.

Common @ the Tabernacle in Atlanta last month - his control of the crowd was amazing...plus you were only about 40ft from the stage at the furthest point (the bars)
