[Alice]

Inspired by Beefy...

Who was the best band you've heard live?  Who was the worst?

[cnamon]

Best:  Toss up between 311, N.E.R.D., and Jack Johnson

Worst:  Hoobastank

[ignom]

David Gray was probably the best. The worst, sadly, was Van Morrison.

[Alice]

Best: Violent Femmes or Less Than Jake

Worst: Third Eye Blind or Everclear

[Dry then Catch]

Best:
no question i love the Refreshments aka Roger Clyne and The Peacemakers, playing in Mexico.....

Worst: 
Collective Soul.  They are so produced. 

[Dry then Catch]

Best: Violent Femmes or Less Than Jake

Worst: Third Eye Blind or Everclear

Was Less than Jake incredibly loud?  maybe it was just the venue, but my ears were ringing for days.  lost a wallet in a mosh pit and got lots of mansweat over me. 

[cnamon]

Oh, the Dan Band is up there in my favorites.  I plan on seeing them in concert again.

[Beefy]

Best: Sigur Ros, Faith No More, Harry Connick, Jr.

Worst: the screeching yeti that opened for Yo La Tengo, Weezer

[ignom]

Jimmy Page and Robert Plant was a really bad show, too.

[DownSouth]

Best Coolio
Worst Bush

[Beefy]

Oh, how could I forget to mention Social Distortion at CBGB's?!  Fucking awesome.

I don't think they're incredibly loud.  I've seen them like 4 times now.  

The mansweat is the huge downfall of their concert.  You're in tight proximity to 14-17 year old boys that sweat a lot and don't believe in deoderant.  I go home smelling like a boy's locker room.

What is so different about that?

I didn't think I'd ever use this smiley, but I can't think of anything else that would convey my feelings better...

Most concerts you at least have some girls and some older guys there.  But LTJ shows are 95% 14-17 year old smelly kids.

It was the album release party for the Purple Album Whose Name I Forget.  I gave Mike Ness a cigarette.

[DownSouth]

I forgot.  Beastie Boys were awesome.

Will you marry me?

[Beefy]

Oh, and I was lucky enough to catch Mr. Bungle twice.   

They covered Billy Squier's 'Stroke' and Loverboy's 'Working for the Weekend'.  It was awesome.

Fugazi is always really good, too.

[eo000]

Worst: Cranberries,

Funnest: Bloodhound Gang

Best: NIN, Manson

Best: NIN, Manson

Bloodhound Gang was a great time.

[dc]

Best: Love and Rockets

Worst: [Tie] Pixies -- who opened for L&R, same night; and Motley Crue -- even though the tickets were free, I walked away feeling like I had paid too much.

[Bennyhana]

Best:  Guy Davis.  I mixed it.  The kids at the school I where I was working didn't like it so much, but I thought it was awesome.

Worst:  I've worked a lot of concerts.  Most of them are bad.  The one that takes the cake is the one where no less than 50 senior citizens got onstage in sparlkley costumes and lip sync'ed for two hours.  LIP SYNC'ED!!!  I was getting paid to be there, but the stupid audience paid $10 apiece.

[ReBurn]

I think I'll just live vicariously through your concerts.
