Best Gig/Tour this year... (rock, concerts, shows, quote)

Personally, The Hives last night was the best gig i've been to this year, its blew me away, theyre such great performers, they work the crowd up, and Peles new hair and moustache....hardly recognisable, the highlight of the evening though was catching Niklaus' guitar pick he threw out, and Pele winked at me

so...whats the best gig you've been to this year?

I'd LOVE to see The Hives live.

Straylight run....sadly.
I wouldn't say they were the best though.
John was laughing a little with Shaun and I don't know about what.
Then they started playing and had some great energy.
Not my favorite but I would see them again.

The best show I have been to would have to be the extremely energetic one put on by Death From Above 1979. It was amazing that a 2 piece band could bring that much noise. At my favorite local joint with only 200-300 people there, you can't ask for more at a pure rock concert.

I enjoy the fact that DFA79 LOVES to tour, I can't recall seeing another band that plays as many shows as they do and with such intensity. Somewhere around 60 dates on their current 3 month tour.

Best gigs this year so far... Low; Afri Rampo with Park Attack and the Gussetts supporting.

Worst gig so far was Cat Power last night. She was more together than the last time I seen her, seemed sober (she wasn't last time) and yet she still insisted she sounded off and ended the gig with an apology before running off. What a shame, she has so much talent.

a friend who'd been at a concert told me the concert was great and that they're great live but all the footage of their concerts suck!
