List all the bands you've seen live

I saw Dinosaur Jr. on Thursday. Holy ****. They were unbelievable. Not only did they blow your eardrums out of your head (pretty much for 2 hours straight; they don't really have anything to say so they just go from song to song with a break to tune guitars) but the mix was perfect. I read some reviews where people said that J's voice was inaudible over the guitars, but except for maybe Little Furry Things it was usually pretty easy to hear him. The set was great, they played a nice mix of songs with very little from J's more or less solo Dinosaur albums, and a nice mix of old stuff and Farm tracks; Pieces, Plans, Little Furry Things, Imagination Blind, Wagon, and their Just Like Heaven cover were the best tracks. They put on easily the best show I have ever seen (probably a biased opinion), the only drawback is that my ears were actually ringing through Monday and I think I may have some permanent hearing damage. I'd suggest wearing earplugs if you see them, but I can't stand that muffled sound. All in all, it was well worth it, and seeing J, Murph, and Lou onstage together was an unbelievable experience for me. If they come anywhere near where you are, you should be there.
