A lot of these sound really cool. I was real close to seeing Dead Cross/Secret Chiefs 3 when they came to my area last year, but I didn't have anyone to go with so I didn't end up going.

I'm also still sad FNM never played anywhere near me when they got back together for a while.

I really haven't been to too many shows. These are the most notable ones I've been to:

Explosions in the Sky/Nine Inch Nails
Some band I don't remember that wasn't very good/Devin Townsend/Animals as Leaders
Kvelertak/Gojira/Mastodon
Godspeed! You Black Emperor
Royal Blood/Queens of the Stone Age
King Buffalo/All Them Witches
Now Now/Lucius/Phantogram
That1Guy/Eels

Well for one the guy listed an absolute litany of shows to be rated, and its also super subjective because good entertainers dont always put on a good live show every time necessarily

I had two extra tickets that I sold to a guy on craigslist...me and my friend were laughing our asses off at Neil Hamburger while these guys moaned and said "man, this guy is bad". I can't believe people can enjoy Tom Green and not understand Neil Hamburger. So many huge boos lmao. Not sure how many people knew his schtick and were going along with it? It seemed like people were genuinely upset.

Very jealous of Devin Townsend, Animals as Leaders, seeing Gojira and Mastodon at the same show (haven't seen Mastodon, wish I'd seen them years ago), and QOTSA!!

Extra points for the following: BNL, Boris, King Crimson, Gorillaz (I still think the concerts are awkward, but love the man), Badbadnotgood, Les Claypool/Primus

I was lucky enough to see Gorillaz perform with a full orchestra, The Clash's bassist and guitarist, and a ton of featured artists (Bobby Womack, Little Dragon)...pretty crazy. Still had screens but they were kinda separate, and it was cool to see Damon out front and center.

BNL was amazing, thankful to my parents for treating me to that. My dad said it was 'too loud' and put Nibs (candy) in his ears because 'they looked like ear plugs'.

I was so happy to see Boris twice. I have a setlist with all of their autographs. I helped them load their uhaul the first time, and only didn't get Wata's autograph. The second time I saw them, that was probably what I consider the craziest show I've seen. The guys from Tera Melos helped me find Wata for her autograph. Skerik (amazing tenor sax player) was playing with Master Musicians of Bukkake, and took a picture of me with the Tera Melos guys. An amazing time.

King Crimson was special because I bought a ticket for my dad. He never thought he'd get to see them, and was a huge fan in the 70s.
