My Favorite Concert Moments


Key word here is “moments.” The following is not a list of my favorite concerts, but rather my favorite songs from the many concerts I have attended, in chronological order.Note: As with nearly all of my lists, I am only placing one song per artist per concert here with No Age having one more than everyone else because I have seen them multiple times and of course they never dissapoint. Also, there are other “favorite” concert moments of mine that are not musical moments, such as Glen and I racing to Radiohead and hitching a ride with the super cool Ray! But, this list only focues on the music. Here we go…

1) Morrissey- Shoplifters of the World Unite- 10/07
2) Radiohead- The Bends- 8/08
3) Meat Puppets- Lost- 9/08
4) Dinosaur Jr- Feel the Pain- 9/08
5) Built to Spill- Car 9/08
6) No Age- Everybody’s Down- 11/08
7) Black Lips- Dirty Hands- 3/09
8) No Age- Teen Creeps- 4/09
9) King Khan & The Shrines- Took My Lady to Dinner- 5/09
10) Animal Collective- Summertime Clothes- 5/09

18) King Khan & BBQ Show- Too Much in Love- 10/29/09 HOPEFULLY!
19) Glassjaw- Lovebites and Razorlines- 11/18/09- HOPEFULLY!
20) Sonic Youth- Dirty Boots (opens with it!)- 11/22/09- HOPEFULLY!
21) Pixies- Wave of Mutilation- 11/27- CERTAINLY! since it is track 3 on Doolittle the album they are playing in its entirety, but since this is my favorite I hope they perform it the best.

Keyword is “Experiences,” which takes slightly more into account how fun the show was than how awesome the bands were. Like Jay Reatard was funner than Walkmen, but Walkmen were the better performers. The opening acts for Reatard were simply better than the Walkmen show.
