This can be 10 best concerts you've gone too as well, or just one. Pretty self-explanatory. If you'd like to mention a story you have from that concert(s) please do tell. I'm going to feel like the biggest tool if there's already a thread for this. THE TIME I PUT INTO IT!

10.) Courtney Barnett at Bonnaroo - 2015. First concert I ever crowd-surfed at, I was running on 35 straight hours no sleep. I'm surprised I live to tell the story, or remember it for that matter.



9.) Deafheaven at Bonnaroo - 2014. First real metal/post metal show I attended and I barely heard the frontman's vocals on account of the rest of the band being so fucking loud. each one of their 10 minute songs meshed into one another so it all sounded like one long track.



8.)The Gaslight Anthem at The House Of Blues - 2010. This was my first concert I'd ever attended, and suffice to say I immediately got into the groove of what live music actually means. I was big into The Gaslight at the time, The 59' Sound is still one of my favorite records and they just released American Slang which is another great album. It's special to me also because my brother drove me to it and I got to experience it with him.

very shitty quality but the only actual video from that concert.


7.)Arctic Monkeys at Bonnaroo - 2014. At this point in my life I never actually imagined seeing Arctic Monkeys, yet there I was in a great fucking spot behind some dude that literally passed out because of heat exhaustion and probably lack of hydration. It was probably the hottest day of the whole trip but somehow that made I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor even sweatier and memorable as humanly possible.



6.) Red Hot Chili Peppers at the Times Forum in Tampa - 2012. I'll admit, I had some shitty seats, but just the mere sight of Flea air thrusting his way to my heart was enough for me.



5.) The Flaming Lips at Bonnaroo - 2014. So. Much. Confetti.



4.) Kanye West at Bonnaroo - 2014. Lots of Bonnaroo shows I'm aware. You don't have to call me out on it. It's the only place I've been too where I've had the privilege of seeing a lot of my favorite bands/artists. Kanye. Fucking. West. Mr. 53 Million dollars in debt himself. He had a less than stellar stay at Bonnaroo in 2007 with that Pearl Jam debacle, but in 2014 for his Yeezus tour he totally slayed 60,000 people. The man can handle a crowd. Apart from Nike rants or whatever the fuck he was mad at that year, he literally made my eyes melt (probably cause I was on shrooms). WHERE DA PRESS AT



3.) My Morning Jacket at Bonnaroo - 2015. This really needs no talking about. It was one of the best nights of my life.

2.) D'Angelo & The Vanguard at Bonnaroo - 2015. For an hour and 15 minutes, I'm not going to lie I felt as black as the people on stage were. The energy, the soul, the fucking swag, the sex appeal. He even looked at me straight in the eye and I played it so cool, it was an amazing moment and probably the best thing that happened to me last year.



Honorable mentions: Spoon, Slayer, Jack White, Billy Joel, The Growlers, Kendrick Lamar

1.) Cloud Nothings at Bonnaroo - 2014. This was legendary. This should be up there with one of the best performances of the last 10 years. The energy was unprecedented, the moshing was stupendously insane (Okay maybe not Slayer material moshing, cause anyone who doesn't almost die at a Slayer gig isn't doing it right, but damn close). I'm happy to say though my friend and I created what turned out to be an endless mosh pit for that hour and a half. Best. Show. I've yet. To. See.
