Porter Robinson and underscores, a few days ago.

Garth Brookes. Saw him at the Tacoma dome like 10 years ago. We were on the floor towards the back and some lady with a headset came up and told us to come up front. At the time I was pretty stoked. Show was awesome. Garth and trisha yearwood were amazing. The stage had some cool mwchanics and the drummer was in a 3d rotating circle thing going upside down and around. Blew my mind. Pretty funny realization afterwards though. The reason we got moved to the front was because we were mexican. We were in a section with nothing but people of color. Pretty funny. Amazing show.

Neil Young + Crazy Horse Bob Dylan + Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers

Swans in the To Be Kind era.

Everclear in the late 90’s was pretty good.

Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie both had amazing stage shows in the last decade. I can’t compare them to shows back in the day but if you get a chance they’re still worth it.

Pantera and White zombie in 1997. Metallica in 1993. Ozzy and Sepultura in 1998. Those bands were unbelievable to see live at the time and blew me away. Still vividly remember those concerts.

death grips, quite literally as I started up front and got way overwhelmed and slowly started moving back as the show went on. it got to the point where I got outside and proceeded to puke in the trashcan. great show though!

I saw Against Me in 2004.

‘nuff said.

None. It’s like they’ve never really lived up to the hype and attending live music events has somehow always made me uncomfortable. Same with movie theatres.

The most immersive and impactful musical experiences I’ve had have been me sitting alone listening.

jethro tull played in grant park for the flutist society and due to that played like the most flute intensive songs. hearing that fock flute in person was amazing.

between the buried and me has never disappointed!

Josh Scogin in any band he’s in (the chariot, norma jean, '68)

broken social scene

Tauk - they blew me away from their albums too, but after having seen them live for the 2nd time last week, figured I had to post. Their drummer is incredibly hard-hitting and energetic, and keeps it going for 3+ hours

Whipping Boy, an Irish alt rock band, late 90s Birmingham: I’d never even heard of them before a friend dragged me along. Jaw-flappingly stunning vocals, great songs, lyrics, instrumentation. Thought they were going places, especially on finding a couple of singles/EPs and the album Heartworm, but they broke up not long after. I bought everything they put out and still love when their stuff randomly plays on shuffle.

Slift, they are an amazing experience live! Three guys from France with a live sound that’s just massive. You’d never think it’s just the three of them. Amazing show, lots of energy and the visuals make it a perfect experience. Mind blowing!
