Best

The Mars Volta '07 at Terminal 5 in NYC - This was my second time seeing TMV but the first time seeing them headline with no opener. I can honestly say that while being one of my favorite bands, their live videos on youtube did not match their studio work. This show however defied all of my doubts and I really can't put into words how it made me feel. usually I'm a mellow person who likes to soak in the performance instead of going crazy in the crowd but something cam over me that I can't describe. I went a little too crazy because I broke my glasses and had to walk home with my buddy blind as hell through the streets of NYC. I felt like Hellen Keller cause I was blind and deaf from the concert. Awesome experience though.

Also...

Godspeed You Black Emperor '11 at Terminal 5 in NYC - Funny how my best two concerts happened to be at the same place. Again, not many words to describe my feelings here. I've never been to a louder concert. You could not escape the sound. It penetrated you. I'll rememebr for the rest of my life GYBE playing "static" while the projection screen behind them displayed the scenes of an factory fire for 20 minutes. As intense as a concert could ever be.

Worst

While the music wasn't that bad, I was so disappointed seeing red Hot Chilli Peppers. This was right after they released Stadium Arcadium and they played at the Continental Airlines Arena in New Jersey. The whole thing felt like I was at a Neil ****ing Diamond concert the way that there were old people everywhere singing while the lyrics displayed on the JUMBO screen. It was the chilli peppers that I came to see but what do you exoect when you go see them at a venue of that size. Their intimate shows are over.

Besides that every headlining band I've seen has been the right choice. Some opening bands though failed miserably, but I didn't go to see them They include...

Tapes n Tapes
Darkest Hour
Digitalism
Minus the Bear (like the band though)
Various bands that have opened for my friends band.
