  What's the best you've ever seen at a concert?

  I have to throw it to Liam Finn.
  I saw Eddie Vedder last night and Liam was amazing. So much energy.

  Monotonix. hands down.

  • Just go see them. their shows are pretty inexpensive and the headliner just turns out to be a total bore.– tasty

  1. Zappa Plays Zappa
  2. King Crimson
  3. Tool

  ZPZ was simply the most amazing concert i've ever been to. The quality of the sound and the musicianship is unrivaled in this day and age. It's too bad that music of this caliber goes mostly unnoticed (as most of Frank's stuff did too.)

  Esthero opening for that band from Iceland GusGus? Her voice was really good live. Also it was at SONA and the sound system there was awesome.
