/mu/ - Music (Temp full images)

>this year I saw against me
How was it

I saw James Blake and too many faggots were holding up their cell phones to record the concert. This shit needs to stop.

>>41754827
They were really good. I wasn't too familiar with their music, but they were playing Riot Fest the same day I went for the 'Mats, and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

>>41754802
I saw The Replacements too and it was absolutely incredible. I've seen like 60 concerts this year and that's probably one of the best, if not the best

>>41754839
that is the most annoying shit I swear

i saw tame impala and they put on an amazing live show, lots of trippy visuals and kevin parker being a nerdy 80's child "feel free to boogey to this one"

This year I've only seen James Blake. I was on home detention for most of the year though. All of the songs he did were altered in awesome ways

>>41754905
What city did you see them in?

They were fucking amazing.

I saw alt-J, The Flaming Lips, Grizzly Bear, and Portugal. The Man. All pretty standard shows except for Flaming Lips, fucking incredible.

>>41754939
>I was on home detention for most of the year though.
what did ya do

>>41754802
Did you go to Riot Fest?

>>41754939
>home detention

what did you do?

Joyce Manor and Desaparecidos

>>41754839
I wouldn't record the whole concert but I like to get a short clip of an artist playing a favorite song of my to watch later and feel nostalgic about

>>41754802
I saw Disclosure, My Bloody Valentine, Arctic Monkeys, Hudson Mohawke, Ben Klock, Truss/MPIA3, Mount Kimbie, James Murphy DJ Set, Noah & The Whale, Fatboy Slim, Wu-Tang Clan, CHVRCHES, Eels, Modeselektor, Amon Tobin Two Fingers DJ Set, Frank B, Laurent Garnier, Kerri Chandler, Blawan, Pariah, Captain Hook and Franz Ferdinand

Best shows I saw this year were Deafheaven and Boris

I didn't know Boris was touring Flood when I went into it. Great show.

>>41754956
I went to the Toronto one, Dino Jr, Iggy, and Rocket From the Crypt were great too. It was a hell of a long drive to get there but it was totally worth it

>>41754999
Fuck you.

I saw Jeff Mangum solo, Joyce Manor, Mac Demarco (got to meet him), Andrew Jackson Jihad (got to meet sean) and Lil B. I would have to say Jeff Mangum was probably the best along with Lil B just because of the atmosphere and everything but they were all pretty awesome.

>>41754999
fuck you man. there's going to be 100s of shitty clips put up on youtube by people who are doing exactly what you are as well. watch one of theirs

>go to see king khan and the shrines
>people in the crowd doing fake "paki" accidents
>drunk girl beside me asks her bf to draw a "paki dot" on her forehead
>my gf goes for a smoke, I watch her bag
>paki dot girl picks up my gfs bag and starts rifling through it
>people around grabbing things
>watch in horror for a few seconds, regain my composer and snatch the bag
>ask them what the fuck they're doing
>"oh my god, i'm so sorry i didn't know it was your gfs"
>everyone returns the stuff
>gf comes back tell her what happens, she wants to ignore it so no confrontation
>drunk girl and her boyfriend give us a high five at the end of the show and say sorry
>okay.jpg

>>41755005
of those Arctic Monkeys, Mount Kimbie, Wu-Tang and Amon Tobin were the best.

>>41755054
>Mac Demarco (got to meet him)
what was he like?

>>41755089
fucking fake pakis

>>41755063
>>41755029
Why is it such an issue? I've seen people do it all the time at concerts and it's never pissed me off in the slightest. Unless the artists says not to take pictures or videos it shouldn't really be a problem and i've never gotten the fuss over it

>>41755089
fuck that. should've 'accidently' bumped into her and knocked her whole drink over her

>>41755063
This.

The only time I ever recorded something was for my favorite band when I was in the front row and held my digital camera so that the backlight was hidden. That fucking dull glow is the most annoying shit at shows

>>41754980
Yes I did. Riot Fest Chicago. Shit was awesome but it was pouring rain the whole time.

The entire area was a giant mud pit and for awhile I huddled under a carnival ride with a few old punks and a qt emo girl

>>41755096
He's a really down to earth dude, I didn't really say much to him because I was a little nervous but I got a picture with him

>>41755117
it pisses me off because generally people who are recording videos get really pissy if you bump into them bcuz they're recording a video. like fuck you. i don't give a fuck if you're recording a video or not i'm here to enjoy the show

Death Grips, O'Brother and Native, The Chariot/Glass Cloud/Birds In Row, Tera Melos and Zorch, and Melt-Banana.

The Chariot was easily my favorite. It was their final tour and they gave it their all. Everyone was nuts including the band, but also respectful of each other. I met Steven and he's p cool.

>>41755152
what a qt3.14

>>41755117
Phones get in the way of the line of sight, and the brightness is obnoxious and distracting.

>saw Au Revoir Simone in LA
>the band members are cute as fuck in person
>excellent performance btw
>originally I though it was only one opener
>3 fucking opening bands
>my feet were hurting and the bands were boring
>when ARS finally got on stage, I was too busy paying attention to them and ignoring girls flirting with me
>Some bumped their asses on mine and did grinding moves
>I move closer to the stage
>leave after concert ends
>as I'm walking, a couple of cute girls start looking back at me and are smiling
>I get my phone out and start browsing random shit to avoid them
>tfw no confidence to talk to them

I'm not an autist, but I do have some self esteem/confidence issues. I could have had a gf a long time ago but I'm too retarded to actually go for it.

>>41755023
I was at the Chicago fest. It was great. I saw parts of Rocket's set but I got distracted by the pro wrestling

>>41755152
j-james?

>>41755183
man i feel bad for you

>>41755183
>torres

>>41755183
>3 fucking opening bands
seriously? wow what's the point?

>>41755174
Oh and Title Fight too.

>>41755208
Nope :3

saw anco in october, awesome show but cant help but wish they played more older stuff

saw mbv and that was legitimately the loudest show ive ever seen. fucking amazing though

>>41755224
i dunno, the echoplex?

>>41755240
i was really stoned when i saw mbv. i had earplugs and it was still ridiculously fucking loud. i was at the back of the crowd and it was still ripping through me. good concert tho

>>41755240
Where'd you see them at?

They kicked ass in Chicago

Went to FYF, it was cool. Planning to see Holograms at the echo but I have no one to go with.

>>41755054
>Lil B
>willing to pay money to watch a show ironically

>>41755270
i too, was stoned for mbv. loudest shit ever but so incredible. the more droney parts of the ends of the songs were fucking hypnotizing

>>41755270
yeah i saw em in chicago and sat in the far back balcony and i stilll needed earplugs for about half of the songs. especially you made me realise, i seriously thought the venue was gonna start crumbling

>>41755326
That show was SO FUCKING LOUD

>>41755283
chi fuckin city

why do mbv play so loudly? needing ear plugs in the far back balcony is kinda extreme

>>41754999
Are you 12?

>>41755415
no idea. ive been to so many shows but that was incomparably loud to any other concert ive seen. still amazing tho

seen mbv live, without earplugs. so fucking loud, thought my head was gonna explode

>>41755477
i dont know how u could withstand you made me realise without them. that would fuck your eardrums so hard

>>41755063
Not even dude. I saw Godspeed in October and there is 0 footage of the show I went to.
I got a bit of Moya, but that's it.

>>41755310
tbh i'd say a lot of people go to mbv stoned. they're amazing live, that resonance is amazing

>>41755555
>five fives

Saw Cheap Trick last September at the Ravinia near Chicago. They played Sgt Peppers in it's entirety, and they played their original At Budokan as well. Seeing em again in a couple months (they play around Chicago often), hopefully they play more original stuff this time. I'm dying to hear some of their stuff from their first album live.

>>41755555
>those quints

>>41755555
WOW!!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!!

>>41755290
It was only $35, I actually enjoy Lil B's music un-ironically, and I had a lot of fun. Fight me.

i love taking a shitload of mdma and going to deep house gigs.

>>41755569
That actually sounds like a really great show, and Ravinia is a great venue. I saw the B52s there a long time ago

Bomb the Music Industry!
Andrew Jackson Jihad
Passion Pit, Stone Temple Pilots, and some others at a festival. Chester Bennington did vocals for STP. I thought he'd suck but he killed it.
Authority Zero
Rush (actually right at the end of last year but w/e)
And a fuckton of local bands not worth mentioning unless some Bay Areafags want to hear about them

>>41755723
>btmi
so jealous

>>41755741
I saw them at Bottom of the Hill in SF in May-ish, then I also saw Jeff and Sean (of AJJ) co-headlining the same venue during the summer. Badass shows both times. I Don't Wanna Die was my favorite performance of either night.

Did you hear them announce their final final show today?

Just Deerhunter and GYBE this year, already got my ticket for Mogwai in may 2014.

>>41755741
just remembered, when I saw AJJ I also met some young homeless dudes who had hitchhiked up from SoCal to see the show. It turned out they were big BTMI fans too and we sang Saddr Weirdr together and hugged it out.

>concerts I've missed this year: Deerhoof, Swingin' Utters, probably more

Highlights of this year for me include dead letter circus, kings of convenience, bat for lashes, bloc party, deftones, earlwolf, steven wilson, sleep, breeders and neutral milk hotel. best festival for me was laneway

>>41754978
flaming lips are always so fun. their show always kicks ass.

saw system of a down at the hollywood bowl. best show this summer, flogging molly, TSOL, the adolescents, south central skankers, reel big fish, streetlight manifesto, andrew wk, jello biafra, agent orange, goldfinger, the chariot, the aquabats, the wonder years, big d and the kids table, the adicts and i'm blanking on anybody else.

also did anyone see bjork this year or last? i swear she hates coming to australia

>>41754802
this might be a stretch, but since you like brand new, you wouldn't happen to have the audio files recorded from there house of blues show in san diego? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEtG39X2qcA this video has it linked to the download but you gotta pay some shit first.

>>41755183
>I'm not an autist
It's ok here friend. Nobody knows who you are. Let it out.

>>41755887
Were all those ska bands at Warped? I went to the Mountain View stop and saw a bunch of them

>>41755866
>>41755780
yeah I heard about their last show. if only i didn't live in california...

my only regret in life will be never seeing btmi live

>>41755951

>>41756108
i fucked those number up but whatever. let's pretend those two 10s are equal.

>>41756108
How was Laura Stevenson? She played near me twice and I missed both dates.

Bonnaroo:
>Death Grips
>Cults
>Paul McCartney
>Wu-Tang Clan
>Kendrick Lamar

>Kings of Leon (kicked ass)

Weak-ass festival overall. The atmosphere was awesome, though.

Stand alone shows:
>BB King
>Bobby Rush
>Sleigh Bells
>Drive-By Truckers/Old 97's

Got tickets for Yeezy in Dallas, and for the Murder City Devils, Pixies, and NMH next year. Fucking pumped for all of it

>>41755183
>Chelsea

I know that feel.

Fucking faggot.

>>41756217
She was so good. The band sounded fantastic. I wish they had played a few certain songs but their set was great. I enjoyed her set more than Tim Kasher's, though his was good too. She is the nicest person in the world. I talked to her a little after and asked her to sign my CD, and she is just so down to earth, sweet, humble, and appreciative.

I've seen way more shows than I can count this year, but I think my top 3 is probably Portugal. the Man, Anamanaguchi and The Menzingers.

Portugal still knows how to fucking JAM. I love their new material but I was afraid that it wouldn't translate well to a live show, but they ended the first part of their set with a 10 minute jam rendition of Purple, Yellow, Red and Blue with some ridiculous hooks and even the beginning of Drunkship of Lanterns by Mars Volta just for the hell of it. Their light/video show was so on point too and I would gay marry John Gourley in a heartbeat.

Anamanaguchi was just a night of drunk, stupid fun with good friends. I crowd surfed like hella and multiple people hung from the rafters and it was just all around a great time

The Menzingers are the best punk band I've ever seen live. The first time I saw them was when they were opening for Hot Water Music and I could tell they were trying their best to put on a good show but nobody in the crowd fucking cared. I saw them at Stay Sweet later in the year though and it was amazing. The crowd was bonkers, I got thrown up in the air and backflipped for no goddamn reason, and the setlist was wall to wall great

I saw Neutral Milk Hotel too, and I don't know what I was expecting to feel but 'disappointment' wasn't it. Maybe my NMH days are just too far behind me but it didn't resonate with me the way I assumed it would when I bought my ticket like 6 months in advance

>>41756108
I was the only person who knew Laura at the Tim/Laura show and this drunk lesbian couple kept turning around and shouting "YOU KNOW HER SONGS!? THAT'S SO WEIRD!!!!"

I would have moved to a different part of the crowd but there were like 20 people there so there wasn't much of a 'different part of the crowd' to move to

>>41755892
i saw bjork at a festival in august and she was fucking amazing

>>41756376
Was this in Santa Cruz by any chance? I know a lesbian couple who may have gone (and I know the venue there is tiny too)

>>41756335

But also I'm seeing Janelle Monae next week and I'm expecting her to dethrone all 3 shows at the same time

Saw Andrew W.K. on his solo tour. That was fun, even got to stage-dive at one point.

Say Nine Inch Nails with Godspeed You! Black Emperor as an opener. Great show with spectacular visuals. I only wish they played less stuff from Hesitation Marks and more earlier stuff.

>>41756423
Atlanta, actually. I wasn't even really gonna go since I've never really listened to Tim and I'd already seen Laura twice this year but then I found out the show was happening on a venue that's like on my street so I had no reason not to

>tfw 0
>no one you like ever comes to south florida

>tfw nobody ever tours near me
Nas, Mac Miller and Lil Wayne played like 1 1/2 hours away from me a few months ago but that's it.

>>41756444
I love HM but mostly because I associate it with listening to it cover-to-cover on repeat while driving to and from the mountains over labor day weekend

>>41756472
>tfw dozens
>tfw free concerts at music venue on campus at your university
northern florida, yay

Matthew Dear, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, Death Grips, Red Fang, Toro y Moi, Starfucker, Sigur Ros, Grimes, Chvrches, Disclosure.

>>41756532
Oh and Primus.

Driving 3 hours with friends to see mewithoutyou and Rocky Votolato in a podunk little bar in a shitty bible belt Pennsylvania mountain town was pretty great I must say

its been a weird music year

dinosaur jr with my dad, really good never seen him so stoked for a band and they played really well

saw antwon with white lung, really good i met antwon but i shouldnt have, all fanboyish and it weirded him out

ty segall with white fence was probably the best so far, his dad came up and played a few songs on drums, hella fun show

missed out on dads, pity sex and UMO because my car broke/had to work

I literally just came back from seeing Chance the Rapper in Albuquerque. Kinda cool, a lot of faggots there but overall a decent show.

>>41756590
We saw Dads on Father's Day and we gave them a Father's Day card and they were super assholes about it fuck them

>>41756646
:(

White Suns (Twice)
tamio shiraishi & cammisa buerhaus (like three time)

Death Grips
Giles Corey
Boris (both nights)
Guerilla Toss
Unto Cae & Ethan Osborn
Milo
Swans
Hair Police
My Mountain
Sun Tunnel
IceAge
Giuseppi Logan
Tiger Hatchery

Got to meet white suns the first time, they were mad nice, and gave me a free shirt. and the second time was at a house at Wesleyan University, and we hung out beforehand. They offered me weed but i dont smoke. still cool. They are probably current favorite band. :)

I also met Milo, he was also really nice, there are some really goofy pics of me and my friend with him.

shook Gira's hand after swans show.

Talked and hung out with Dan Barrett at Giles Corey show, he was super super nice :)

>>41756472
miami?

I saw Cold War Kids, the Lumineers, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Tame Impala, Bob Dylan, Wilco, My Morning Jacket, Ryan Bingham, Spiritualized, Merzbow with Thurston Moore, Earl Sweatshirt, The Breeders, Local Natives, Future Islands, Big Black Delta, Califone, Cy Dune, and Menomena.

I got to meet Ryan Bingham, Danny Seim (from Menomena) and Thurston Moore. They were all really chill dudes.

>>41756532
How was Starfucker?

>>41756672
how were White Suns live? What's their live set up like?

Best shows:

Gorguts
Sparks
Reel Big Fish
Manilla Road

Worst Shows:
Slayer
Gojira
Venom

>>41756295
Dude, I heard Kendrick Lamar fucking sucked at Bonnaroo.
Also I've never met anyone else who likes Ryan Bingham. I got to meet him and he signed my "Junky Star" record. He's a real chill guy.

I saw Passenger

he was good

>>41755939
No I don't, sorry buddy.

Maybe try SLSK?

I saw QOTSA, Pretty Lights, James Blake and almost DB and Kanye before they cancelled in Vancouver.

>>41756772
Gojira was bad? :c

>go to warped tour
>some girl in front of me passes out
>her bf is panicking and shit
>says she needs some water
>he reaches for my water bottle
>retreat my arm
>nigga I paid like $5 for this one bottle of water and it's 100F outside
>continue to enjoy the music and my water as this girl is dragged away by some emergency dudes

>>41756787
Yeah KDot was just letting the crowd rap and it was pretty terrible. I mean, I like KDot, but we were really just there to be close to The National and Tom Petty.

And I love Ryan Bingham, man. I was expecting to get shit for posting that here. Glad to hear he's a cool guy.

>>41756529
hope you're enjoying FSU

>>41756686
no, i'm like 40 mins north, near Ft. Lauderdale

>>41756824
and Nosaj Thing too.

>>41754839
at james blake?
what the fuck
all you would hear is the shit distorting from the constant bass

>>41756833
>2013
>Still going to Warped Tour

i saw 143 DJs in 2 years.

I now hate just about all DJs.

>>41756818
I saw him at the Enmore Theatre. Where did you see him ?

>>41756833
>warped tour
That's your first problem nigga.

>>41756844
it is pretty awesome, mostly just for club downunder though.

>>41756875
>>41756862
this was in like 2008 man

I just now realized this was supposed to be for 13

>>41756831
Okay, Gojira played their songs very well but I just find their music to be very boring.

>>41756833
>go to warped tour

>>41756866
>paying to see someone press "play" on their itunes playlist

there's your problem

>>41756867
I saw him at the Phoenix Concert Theater in Toronto. It was actually the first concert I've ever been to.

Enter Shikari was my first real concert I think, and I saw them this year. My girlfriend couldn't go with me, which sucked, but she's not my girlfriend anymore, so. :T

Saw The Chariot, Tim Hecker, and Nine Inch Nails all in the same week. Just Incredible.

>>41756908
im very much aware of that.

Also drug culture, shitty mixing and levels, poor song choice, and overall generic experiences just turned me off all of them.

you can literally have a DJ in a mask and switch the dude every show and nobody would notice a difference.

its not a show its fueling some cunts ego.

>>41756835
That's what I heard. That's so bizarre. I bought tickets to see him in Raleigh but I missed the show because of work. I heard he killed it there. He must just suck at festivals or something.

Yeah, I really haven't listened to anything aside from Junky Star but I really dig his work. I was expecting that too when I posted >>41756692
I'm glad I found an ally #fucktheh8rs

>>41756760
i believe there drummer is currently touring (or was when i saw them) for his solo project. Both Times i saw them it was all electronics, Kevin was playing a Monotron Delay through a dod death metal pedal, instead of guitar.
see
>>41756153
for an idea on live setup
They were really good both times. Sill played the songs from the record even with out drums. At the wesleyan show there was a point where it became loud blaring high frequencies and their was a qt red there who had her eyes closed and ears covered staring at the ground looking very upset. should have talked to her she was qt. but she was obviously there because of friends or something.

anyway it seems like they are still on good terms with there drummer, (promoting his touring on their FB page) but idk.

>>41756887
I can respect that. I'd pay to see them but I'd hate having to sit through Slayer and deal with their fans.

Purity Ring was quality, really great stage setup with a ton of hanging paper lamps that lit up in different colors, weird electric xylophone thing, giant drum/gong, the works. They defo deliver their studio sound in concert, but I'm pretty sure 3/4 of it was prerecorded or preprogrammed

Anco was fuckin great. second time I've seen them play, and after they postponed the show for like 6 months I was so fuckin hype — the band did not disappoint. Played mostly stuff from CHz/MPP, wish they had gone back a little farther like they did at p4k chicago. The crowd was bullshit, though, tons of fucking kids standing around talking and not giving a shit. That's sort of standard for that venue tho

I guess that's about it, except for basement shows w/ friends which were all exceptionally dope

good year w/e

i really want to see Streetlight manifesto live.
Just the raw energy seems incredible

Best shows I've seen this year, A Place to Bury Strangers, Boris, Sleep, Bardo Pond, La Dispute and Neutral Milk Hotel

Worst show, Prince Rama by far, I also thought Weezer were a bit disappointing, they were decent though

>>41756986
Yeah Slayer's fans was half of what made me hate seeing Slayer live. I couldn't get a good spot unless I was okay with a dozen drunk assholes pushing me every minute.

Slayer's bass WAS WAY TOO LOUD. I could barely hear the guitars. During some songs, the ground was shaking.

>Jeff Mangum
Spiritual.

>Tame Impala
Got tanked, rolled face, had a blast, sang every song and danced like hell. Talked to Kevin and Dom after the show.

>La Luz
Kicked my ass, fantastic show.

>Katterwaul
Typical local show where like 8 people show up and the crowd doesn't move.

>Fuzz
Rad, seriously headbanged for the first time ever. Got a free shirt that wasn't at the merch table.

>The Oh Sees
It was Halloween night, rowdy as fuck and super fun. OBN III's fucking killed it too.

>Dads
Boring, not really in to emo. went because my friend likes Dads and it was cheap as fuck.

Seeing Angel Olsen this Saturday, trying to go see MGMT next Wednesday.

did any other /mu/tants see The Slackers in LA back in October?

I saw no bands this year. It was a great experience.

>>41757023
>tfw when too close that the bass drowns out everything
>tfw too far everything is reverberated as fuck

>>41756958
plus EDM is shit

>>41757033
>MDMA

I live in Canada so not a lot of shit comes up here, but I saw a few local bands
Nomeansno
Dayglo Abortions
D.O.A.
Harrow
Also saw Black Sabbath and Rush

>>41757023
I can imagine the endless sea of sleeveless denim jackets with "SLAYER" patches all over them...

>>41756950
Seriously though if anyone can get the chance to see Hecker do it because it's one of the most intense sound experiences you'll ever encounter.

Pic related was the setup for the show I went to, they had sleeping bags everywhere and complete darkness so you can take in everything he has to offer.

>>41756590
Fuck man, I would have killed to see Ty Segall & White Fence. Did they play two separate sets or a set together?

>>41757084
lol what are you talking about? Our major cities get most acts

>>41757085
Don't forget the bald guys with Lamb of God and Pantera.

>>41754802
*tips fedora*

>>41757055
depends
There is a lot of fucking garbage and i mean a lot.
When people say dance music is bad i get offended not because im defending it but because they have no idea just how bad it is unless you have been to 140+ "shows"

There are some gems though that make it worth it. For every shitty 15 songs live there might be 1 song that blows it out of the water and makes it seem worth it for a little bit

Jeff Mangum
Danny Brown (x2)
Action Bronson
Joey Badass
Swans
Death Grips
Full of Hell
Loma Prieta
Screaming Females

I know I'm forgetting some

Best: Jeff Mangum, Death Grips, Full of Hell
Worst: Danny Brown (the second time), Screaming Females (band was good, but the crowd was awful)

its never as good as the first time no matter how many times you see them :(

>>41756108
Tall Firs were so bad.

>>41757118

>>41756833
>tfw a guy had a panic attack and almost passed out at a sublime concert 2 years ago right in front of me, except I gave him half of my water bottle and he was fine

stay selfish anon

Anyway, I saw:
>Pretty Lights - put on a good show. almost never talked, just DJ'd, which was great. was baked as fuck with grade school friends
>Cake - the band peaked in the early 2000s (and most of the audience did too), and it was basically the same show they put on last year, so I was disappointed.
>Atmosphere - nothing special. didn't stay the whole time (I was at Summerfest and had to meet friends at Cake)
>Penderecki (actually conducting his work) - Honestly thought he would have been a more commanding presence on stage. Still, I had a good time
>Snarky Puppy - I danced for the entire setlist. So much energy. Played even their faster fusion stuff uptempo. Plenty of qts there, danced with a few. It was great.
>Titus Andronicus - Amazing. brought a ton of energy and emotion, even to a small crowd. I've never felt more patriotic than when they played A More Perfect Union

>>41756672
please see She Is Wierd play live in 2014

>tfw you had to escort your 15yo brother to go see We Came As Romans.

The band and the atmosphere just reeked of angst and mountain dew.

>>41757198

>>41757152
I thought Tall Firs were just fine, but holy shit the crowd at that show was TERRIBLE. Seriously, fuck 75% of the people there. They were so damn rude. For starters, a ton of people were talking during Tall Firs's set, so you could hardly hear them. Then there were the fuckers taking pictures and video of Jeff even though he and the venue explicitly requested no photography. And then there were people just being rude and annoying in the crowd, trying to push past me and shit. A whole bunch of cunts at that show. Seeing Jeff's performance was totally worth it though.

>>41757218

:(

>Best
Justice @ lollapalooza
Zane Lowe @ Congress Threatre
Knife Party @ Northcoast
>worst
Zedd @ Lollapalooza
Flatbush zombies @ northcoast
Russ Liquid @ Northcoast
Any trap artist ever @ anywhere

>>41757191
I'd have a panic attack too if I had to see a band that shitty

>>41757224
I just wasn't diggin em. I grabbed a really quick, shaky photo of Jeff at the end of his set, sorry Jeff.

You're supposed to vomit at your first concert right?

my bloody valentine at the roy wilkinson in st paul
animal collective at the depot in salt lake

>>41757255
>my bloody valentine at the roy wilkinson in st paul
I heard that show sucked

Flying Lotus and Thundercat in Boston back in May, was fucking amazing

Thundercat coming to Boston this Sunday, gonna be fucking amazing

Brainfeeder getting shit done.

I also wish Laurel Halo would come to the East Coast on some tour dates like hey bb you live in NYC throw us a bone here =(

has anyone seen arcade fire yet?

i really want to know what reflektor stuff sounds like live

inb4 we don't have suits fuck their dress code etc

>>41757249
at least you weren't fucking holding up your phone taking pictures in the middle of his set.

oh and then there was this fucker who RAN UP ON STAGE AND HUGGED JEFF when his set ended. Jeff looked like he thought he was about to be stabbed.

>>41757267
i heard u didnt fucking go silly bitch
animal collective though,
oof.

>>41757267

all mbv shows suck now because they play way quieter than they did even a few years ago

>>41757304
No need to take it personally

NMH, AnCo, DG, Crystal Castles, Nicolas Jaar, Japandroids, El-P, Godspeed, Fuck Buttons were all fucking great. Rest were average.

>>41757230

anybody have any videos they want to share?

>>41757290
Where did you see them, man? I remember a kid hugging Jeff as well.

>>I saw zappa plays zappa (free)
>>cannibal corpse with a bunch of other random metal bands(only reason I went because I got tickets for free)
>>alexisonfire (amazing show and my first time crowd surfing)
>>zedds dead & adventure club
>>city and color
>>was supposed to see lamb of god but there was that whole manslaughter thing

>>41757350
The Moon, in Tallahassee.

Yo La Tengo, The Feelies, Boris, Limp Bizkit, The Mountain Goats, Cat Power, The National, Swans, Death Grips, Animal Collective, R Kelly, The Walkmen, Public Enemy, Japandroids, Vampire Weekend, Foxygen, CHVRCHES, She & Him, Camera Obscura, The Gories, My Bloody Valentine, Kate Nash, La Sera

It's been a good year, goddamn. Swans was the best of them all. Best show I've ever seen.

>>41756724
Great as always. A lot of their shows are all ages though so it can be hit or miss with the audience.

>>41757372
Ah balls, must have been a number of hugs on that tour then.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - 9/10
Nine Inch Nails w/ Explosions in the Sky - 10/10 & 8/10

NIN show was the 2nd best I've ever seen after Radiohead.

>>41757374

good list. Swans and Yo La Tengo put on two of the best shows I've ever seen when I saw them.

not gunna like probably the greatest live moment i ever saw was Avicii playing levels at lollapalooza.
There is just something so incredible about 50,000 people singing along to a song with no vocals for the most part.

>>41757410
not surprising, i guess. still pissed me off a bit.

saw thundercat last night in denver. great show. got a picture with him afterwards too

>>41757495
Damn I'm jelly son did you just hang around the venue until you met him?

Saw Daughter, The Editors, The White Lies, Blaenavon, Houdini Dax, Indians, Bipolar Sunshine
White Lies was the best, it was at a tiny venue where they performed their first show was pretty cool
Seeing GY!BE tonight tho

>>41757596
Say hi to Pharmakon for me

Just got back from MGMT a few hours ago. It was a pretty good show, a little too loud which obscured some of the more interesting sounds on the studio versions but w/e thats what happens. Played some good jams and had some nice visuals, wish they played Plenty of girls, but can't really complain they covered a lot of ground. Pretty sure the lead singer had his eyes closed the whole time.

>>41757638

>>41757689
P H A R M A K O N

>>41757824
i ment who r u, or do i say anon says hi

>>41757689
the opener, the person that's better than Godspeed but for some reason is opening.

>>41757411
staples center?

Saw the Causalities with Goatwhore.
Pretty fun show, Goatwhore blew me the fuck away too. The guys were really funny (power went down and the guitarist said "This is like pulling your pants down before sex and the girl saying cute"), Casualties are just fun Punk.
Leftover Crack was a couple weeks later. Fucking packed show and they played a great set, tons of old songs because a the guitarist from Chocking Victim was in the band.
GWAR the next day. My friend crossdressed in his alter ego and went with me. Crazy show, broke my nose and thought I broke my arm too.
Andrew WK a month ago. Intimate show and Andrew is just..... godly.
Jello Biafra last Sunday. His new band is actually pretty good and he still sounds great. I got a picture with him and him to sign some stuff.
Only upcoming show I want to see is 7seconds. My girl friend wants to go to Megadeth, but she works late nights so I doubt well go.

I went to Bonnaroo this year.

I saw Swans. Mind blowing. I felt like my guts were being torn out and fed to the universe.

I saw Paul McCartney on acid. It was amazing.

I saw Tom Petty. Very cool.

Smoked a ridiculous amount of pot before and during Wu-tang.

The whole thing was awesome...aside from the under-25 year old's running around on MDMA. That was annoying.

I saw Sigur Ros on Tuesday and I thought their performance was incredible, even if I was half asleep.

>>41758088

Dude are you me

I literally thought that the world was ending and paul mccartney was delivering us all into rapture during his set, and i was completely cool with it

>>41758112
100%. During Swans, my jaw was on the floor for the whole set. That was the show of the festival for me. I feel like Tennessee is too hot though. I'm from Canada and I got heat sickness one day even though I was drinking a ton of water. Def. going next year though.

>go see MGK with some pleb friends
>don't even know who he is but wanted something to do with my friends
>not used to this kind of crowd
>A lot of white kids that remind me of Hunter Moore
>MGK is 1 hour late
>an entire fucking hour late
>he gets out on stage and stumbles around
>starts his show finally
>I'm pretty sure he's coked out
>Girl gets on stage
>pulls down his pants and starts blowing him mid song
>what the fuck
>everyone's cheering
>MGK just keeps rapping with his hand on her head
>I leave
>meet up with my friends when the show is over

>>41758165
The last two years have been unseasonably cool, actually. Some of the best weather Bonnaroo has ever had.

lil b had the most obnoxious crowd by far.
>tfw everyone there was fake based

Lightning Bolt. It was fucking amazing.

>saw Jeff Mangum front row
>saw Animal Collective front row

The only two concerts I attended, otherwise pretty awesome.

>>41758165

Yeah I'm from Detroit, I thought the sun at electric forest was bad but daaamn dude...shit just drills you out there.

During Swans' set I could pick out who was tripping because they were all limply bobbing their heads in unison (I was too). Was the most bizarre and amazing thing I've ever seen. We should meet up next year and smoke a j for sure

>>41758097

I think seeing them half-asleep would make the show even better

Saw James Blake twice, met him both times.
Saw animal Collective met Avey Tare
Went to Pitchfork saw:
Angel Olsen: Good
Bjork: Meh
Julia Holter: Good
Belle and Sebastian: Amazing
Breeders: Amazing
Foxygen: Fun
LiL B: Possibly the most I've ever laughed during a concert
Saw My Bloody Valentine and it was Amazing

>>41756866
i'm curious. what type of music did said djs play? i went to a music festival where over 100 djs played in the space of 4 days and afterward that was enough to do me for a year

>>41758281
Wow I've seen you post this picture like 4 times you're really a tosser eh? As in probably tossed James Blake's salad.

this years been gr8 for me w/ shows

1st saw high on fire, lo pan and goatwhore supporting bands. Mostly everyone there was going for goat whore and cleared out before high on fire and the floor was pretty empty which was really lame. Still gr8 music just wish had a better crowd

then saw Cosmonauts with burnt ones, tomorrows tulips, and the abigails. Was a small show, lots of cuties, loved all the bands, crowd was fukin insane and there were many marijuanas. one of the best shows ive been too.

then saw Youth Lagoon and Pure X. Hadnt heard pure x before but fell in love w/ them. lotta cuties cus cuties love that owl city youth lagoon weird baby voice. After the show me and my friend got invited backstage and we smoked with pure X

last show i saw was animal collective and was the best show ever. amazing crowd, i got early so i got to stay in the front of the venue cus they bar late comers from goin up at this particular venus. went in high as fvck came out higher because literally everyone at that show was lighting up and were very generous w/ it. During deradoorians set i made sure i didnt move back due to shifting crowd and some guy complained about it because he was in front of me but ended up behind me but i was like what the heck is this about. at one point i just started doing a metal stance headbang and i got no clue why but i did. anco ended the show w/ an amazing version of purple bottle that was such a great closure to the show. i wanted to buy one of the sick tie-die shirts they had but they charged 25 bucks which is 5 dollars than normal and i had only 24 because i gave a dollar to a line-beggar while waiting

i saw a load of bands and djs i really wanted to see at a music festival but i was tripping really hard on acid so the music was pretty much secondary. looking back on it the experience was amazing but i think i would have liked to been a bit more engaged with the shows rather than making friends and smoking/snorting drugs.

>>41756444
>even got to stage-dive at one point

that must have been a pretty tame show.. when i saw him on his solo tour multiple dudes were getting crowd surfed on the stage. that was probably the most intense live music experience i've ever had.

saw:
netsky
delta heavy
daniel johnston (was cool. he performed better than I'd expected, Talmud Beach was a fucking great band to accompany him. gig was very short - not sure if it was even 45 minutes - but I guess it can't be helped with daniels condition. daniel was almost cute when he was all happy about some girls yelling they love him, very heartwarming)
Talmud Beach (great live music + as I said, backed Johnston great. really glad I was quick enough to grab a cassette recording of the gig)
Eevil Stöö + DJ Kridlokk + Koksukoo, two times (great)
hanggai (nice! should get an album of theirs)
Jambinai (also need to get their album...)
Ameba (fuck yes my favorite rapper)
Tuuttimörkö (he has nice charisma)
Musta Barbaari (eh, gotta respect a dude who does a gig and only performs one song - the only one he has done...)
Kube + Mäkki (deeecent, but not really my favorites)
Solonen & Kosola (uh, ok, but not really my kind of rap)
Stepa & Are (great!)
Paperi T & Khid (awesome, they really have fun on their gigs and you can feel it)
Joose Keskitalo & Kolmas Maailmanpalo (it was the last gig of the band...really glad I got to experience it. they're one of my favorites)
Pietari & Kohtalon Kauppiaat (hm, rapper doing blues-y thing, interesting for sure)

think those were all.

still going to see these more, at least:
DJ Polarsoul
Stepa & Are for the second time
Loost Koos
Oukkidouppi
Moilubi
Cold Pupu Sauna
Pavel Svimba

>tfw nobody on /mu/ probably knows any of these, besides for Daniel

best gig this year? the joose keskitalo one for sure. especially considering it was the last time he performed with the band. a video from there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbVoP9765ks

also I want Jeff Mangum to come to Finland god damn

>>41756108
>tfw missed Joy Formidable's tour through England and had to settle for watching videos from america

>>41757374
>Limp Bizkit

>going to see Neutral Milk Hotel tomorrow night
>have spare ticket, trying to literally give it away
>no takers yet

i am 100% serious someone please

>>41758366
This. Every fucking time I go to a festival. EVERY FUCKING TIME.

>>41758694
hey think positive, a festival gig simply can't beat a more intimate gig at a smaller venue

>>41758654
Sweet delicious nostalgia. It was great.

>>41758808
my sister actually went to see them, as well. she's like 38 and still likes them, though. it's a little embarrassing.

I only went to Thee Oh Sees since they played for free at ~20minutes from my house.

Two starter bands, can't remember one, the other was a very axesome experimental band with a shitload of good ideas.

Thee Oh Sees by themselves were good when they played their Carillon Crawler/The Dream stuff, rest was mediocre; still a nice performance. I think they endend with a Pixies song, can't remember, I was tired as fuck

>>41758829
Oh...that's kinda sad. I haven't listened to them since middle school. A friend of mine bought my ticket, all I had to do was drive. They're awful but it was still fun

>>41758832

Oh I forgot : I was cringing very hard when the singer of Thee Oh Sees, in his 30's, kept spiting on the ground and acting like a tard teenager when he wasn't singing, leaving the stage to chat with a girl and other wanabee rockstar stuff; it was annoying and embarassing

>>41758694
at the same time, music is pretty neat on acid

Newbie to concerts; this year I saw
The Black Angels - Best one
Albert Hammond Jr: Sang "Last Caress" at the end, which I thought was pretty cool
Tame Impala 2x: Pretty cool visuals, but that nigga needs to sing better, his voiced croaked a lot
Phantogram: really cool light show


Spanish Music:
Zoe: 2nd best
Enjambre

Upcoming:
Foals

It was pretty amazing.

I saw A Day to Remember with Pierce the Veil in August and on the 14rth saw Texas in July, Volumes, The Ghost Inside and The Devil Wears Prada.

This year just wasn't my year for concerts. Oh and Dying Fetus, seriously fuck that band. Waste of $30 and I drank like 5-6 beers and had two pints and still didn't get drunk enough to enjoy it.

>>41758597
How was Netsky? Been meaning to get into him, love his stuff.

Saw AnCo last month.
Shit many brix when they started playing Purple Bottle. I was trippin nuts though.
Also saw Chromatics, that was a fun show.

I saw so many fucking bands this year so highlights:

Big Day Out: Every Time I Die, Band of Horses, Childish Gambino, Crystal Castles
Converge W/ Old Man Gloom & The Broderick
The Smith Street Band W/Bomb the Music Industry and The Bennies
The Chariot
Future Music 2013: Gypsy & The Cat, Bloc Party, Ellie Goulding, The Stone Roses, The Temper Trap & Zeds Dead
Norma Jean W/ Vanna, A Secret Death, Safe Hands and Belle Haven
Frightened Rabbit
EARLWOLF W/ Tyler, the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt
oOoOO W/ Angel Eyes, Butterclock, Survey and Miles Brown
A$AP Rocky W/ A$AP Ferg
La Dispute W/Pianos Become the Teeth X2
Northeast Party House X 2
The Paper Kites

Jon Hopkins & the war on drugs in dec too

>see Iceage live
>been hyped up all fucking year
>day finally comes
>their stage is way too big
>they've been given too much time and they try to fill it out with all sorts of noise intros and shit
>feels hella forced
>in the pit and people are trying to mosh
>winds up half-assed and lame because most people there are p4k fags

The sound was great otherwise and all, I mean they sounded great, but man was it a let-down.

>>41759581
Also it was in the afternoon and it was outside.
Didn't matter much tho because I was in deep anyways.

I saw Queens of the Stone Age for the first time in September. Holy. fucking. shit. What a show.

He Is Legend was great, I was right up at the stage since the venue was so small. Aside from that I've only really attended metal festivals all year which is pretty disappointing.

>>41754802
i am trying to find a greentext about the first time i went to a concert but the fucking search function in the /mu/ archive sucks

>>41759757
I saw QOTSA this year as well, they were pretty fucking good.
And loud, man, like damn. They're a great concert band.

This year I've seen: El Ten Eleven, Black Pus, Waikiki Star Destroyer, Jon Hopkins, Daedalus, Dorian Concept, Hella Comet and a few others I can't remember.

>>41759524
Shit nig I'd hate to see your lowlights

>>41759757
> you will never see Queens of the Stone Age for the first time and be sonically deflowered ever again

saw boris, tera melos two times (wouldve been three but mxbx was on the same day) and melt-banana

i missed a lot of shows cause of school lol

>>41759341
>Zoe
>Enjambre

guacala de pollo

>>41757084
>Nomeansno
That's fucking awesome. I saw them in NYC in like 2007, still one of the greatest shows I've ever been to. It's unbelievable how hard they do it at their age.

I majorly blew it on shows this year.

Went to FYF and saw a bunch of stuff.
-The Locust was my kind of shit, totally on point.
-Dan Deacon was fucking awesome, I never see that sort of shit.
-YYY was nice nostalgia for me who went to college during Fever to Tell era when the were actually respected but never actually saw them play. I was blown away by KO's enthusiasm but so much of their recent material is mediocre and it comes across live. Still, I like that song "Despair" and heard it for the first time at this show, and it was nice to have her sing it to me.
-Breeders, Baroness, and Yo La Tengo mediocre. Thee Oh Sees a bit better but still disappointing.
-Melvins were very very special. Just top notch sludge. One of my favorite bands for like a decade and I've managed to never see them until at this fest. Fortunately they were on the small stage so the sound was actually legit.
-MBV was legendary. The whole world changed colors whenever the would start a new song. Best a band has ever sounded at a giant outdoor fest

The best band I saw this year was Earthless, anybody who ever has the chance to see Earthless live and misses it is a fucking dunce.

I almost got to see SubRosa but they got their equipment stolen on their way to play the show and had to cancel. I went anyway and caught these dudes Yidhra who I'd never heard of, they were legit as fuck super lunkheaded stoner rock and had a theramin which is always fun. Samothrace was this sort of post funeral doom thing and their drummer had his cymbals like, really really high, he had to stretch out to hit them, it was weird, they were pretty awesome though.

Next up is Church of Misery.

memorable shows

>eric copeland, mary lattimore and jeff zeigler, goodnight stars goodnight air in a church basement
>hell shovel, melt banana, king kahn and the shrines and man man on halloween
>bars of gold, kite party, celebrations, dogs on acid
>mbv

This year I have seen Neutral Milk Hotel, Tool & Deftones. Missed more concerts than I'd have liked. Hopefully next year will hold more - I already have QOTSA and NIN lined up

Shit dude yeah; shows I can remember going to this year.

>Enter Shikari
Exactly what you'd expect, don't listen to them much anymore but the live shows are always good fun energy. 7/10
>Desaparecidos
Saw them with "We Are The Physics" as support in Glasgow, one of the best gigs I've ever been to, tiny venue only thing lacking was energy in the room 8/10
>Nai Harvest/Crash of Rhinos (In Support of Braid)
I was one of about 4 people there to see Nai Harvest really good set, I want to see them as a headliner as soon as possible; Crash of Rhinos had a shocker, broken strings everywhere and one of their guitars went totally to shit but I still enjoyed it if only for "Speed of Ocean Greyhounds". Braid were absolutely balls, Frame and Canvas was just a bit boring, left before the end. Because they were the supports noone else was really going for it so I felt a bit out of place 7/10
>Tigers Jaw
Saw them on the breakup EU tour with only two of the actual members and touring musicians. Might be my favourite gig of all time, room had fantastic energy and the band were obviously blown away at how much people loved them. 9/10
>The Wonder Years
Sat through 2 shitty supports and one kinda alright one (Real Friends) with a load of pop punk kids only to have my heart shit out on my during song three and have to sit out for a while, during which time I just got annoyed by how fake The Wonder Years were on stage despite sounding quite genuine in studio (they had obviously planned preambles for most songs), the setlist they played for us was two songs shorter than most other places and there was no Hoodie Weather either. Like a solid 6/10
>Sigur Ros
Standing at the Usher Hall about 3 days ago - fucking brilliant, really good light show, support from "I Break Horses" was really cool, doomy/synthy stuff (kinda like Crystal Castles on the closing songs on II/III). 9/10

Going to see GY!BE tonight, should be fantastic.

The National, Deerhunter, Local Natives, Tame Impala, Death Grips.

The National show was at Yonge + Dundas Square and the crowd fucking blew. I wish they would have played Massey Hall again.

>>41760091

melvins have never disappointed me with a show

they always do a set that feels 2 hours long and play everything good they've ever recorded

>went to some shitty techno/electronic concert
>couple of girls dancing around me and my friend, she started to put their ass slightly on our dicks while dancing
>i was so fucking high that i started to feel paranoia
>i was all the concert thinking that the girls wants to commit theft to us
>losing the chance to fuck or something

I saw like a hundred bands this year so I'll just mention the most noteworthy;

Testament, 8/10, tight playing and amazing interaction with the public, the crowd was also great.

Vektor, 10/10, probably the single greatest musical act I have witnessed live, everyone was in shock and awe, they seemed pretty happy of the reception as this was their European debut.

Down, now that was awesome, Phil's voice wasn't as good as in the 90's but the band gave their all, Phil had fun with a love doll someone threw him and the crowd was in a stage between completely stoned because of all the smokers and excited as hell.

>>41760699
Supposed to be seeing Nai Harvest this Saturday supporting Dads.

>spend all year hoping Iceage will announce a tour date in your country
>they finally do
>literally can't believe it
>immediately get tickets
>wait for months without the concert ever slipping your mind
>the day finally comes
>the concert begins
>the band is really tight
>99% of the audience stands completely motionless throughout the entire concert
>the mood grows more depressing with each song
>the band plays Burning Hand
>can't help but feel that the "DO YOU HEAR ME" line is directed at all the Pitchfork faggots in the audience incapable of even pretending to give a shit
>anticlimax of the year
>terrified that the band will never play here again

I've only been 18 for half the year so this list doesn't really mean much

1. Sigur Ros
2. My Bloody Valentine
3. Spiritualized
4. Titus Andronicus
5. Mono
6. Grails
7. The Flaming Lips
8. Wavves
9. Caspian
10. Youth Lagoon
p4k as fuck

Moderat & Jon Hopkins
Birdy Nam Nam
Two Fingers (Amon Tobin)
Colin Stetson
Half Moon Run

I saw QotSA a few days ago, for the second time. It was a decent gig. They were perfect in terms of musicianship and vocals, mixing was really good too.

Crowd was alright. Plenty of light moshing which was rad, I like when people get into it and start throwing themselves against one another or bumping around. There were plenty of people with only a casual interest in the band though - everyone lost their shit to No One Knows which is the typical Queens mainstream single (not a bad song, it's just like Smells Like Teen Spirit is to Nirvana, if you catch my drift), but hardly anyone was grooving with me to Misfit Love, or Monsters in the Parasol. They ended on A Song for the Dead with that cool live arrangement they do, and Sick Sick Sick was awesome live. Nice visuals too, but I think Queens are slightly better in a more intimate venue than an arena.

MBV*2,Jonny Greenwood Solo,Atoms For Peace,Blur,GY!BE,NIN,Peter Hook,QOTSA,Arctic Monkeys,Crystal Castles,AnCo,Deerhunter, The Walkmen,Laurel Halo and many more seen this year.

Nothing compares to MBV live. Also, Arctic Monkeys were so bad live I cannot even listen to their first album anymore

Swedish house mafia
Tiësto
Calvin Harris
Krewella
Zedd
Kaskade
Seeing Alesso tonight
30 seconds to mars

This year I've seen
Iceage 3 times with White Lung opening at the first show
Yo La Tengo and Belle and Sebastian
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
MBV

Seeing White Lung again next month along with Tegan and Sara. Maybe Holograms too

Very fun for my second year of going to concerts. My favorite would either be the second Iceage night or MBV.

>>41762765
I still remember that video you posted of the crowd at that show and the cringes all came back. My condolences man.

>>41763024
lrn2spacebar

I saw Against Me!, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Death Grips, Childish Gambino, The Killers, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Crossfaith, Mindless Self Indulgence, Kyuss Lives!, Tomahawk, Cypress Hill, Metallica, Shihad, Tenacious D, Black Sabbath, Tyler, the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, Ball Park Music, Superchunk, M. Ward, Neutral Milk Hotel and Franz Ferdinand, plus a few other bands that I just happened to see as support acts or at festivals.

Typical /mu/ response but Death Grips and Neutral Milk Hotel have been the best so far.

I was at the Death Grips Bottom Lounge "noshow" show.
I liked it a lot. I got it.
Like a moment of silence to a fan.
A lot of really stupid fans though. The front row was all /mu/ so that was cool, but damn we're awkward in real life. Got the fuck out of there when they started tearing shit up.

>>41754802
>Peter Hook
Hows the old man doing? was a good show. Boy how I wish Ian Curtis was still alive ;..;

>>41763095
how was belle and sebastian?

I saw Why?, Astronautalis, Pere Ubu, Cults, Mono, The Flaming Lips, Mono, Sparks, and the Front Bottoms. Also some other shit that I forgot about
Best was either FLips or Pere Ubu, worst was probably Cults although they were still good.

>>41762862
yooo i saw mono too
fuckin gr8

I saw Anamanaguchi/Kitty Pride and of Montreal.
Both were really good. Of Montreal always has great shows, played songs I loved and songs I had never heard before.
Kitty was pretty terrible.
Anamanguchi was really good. Very memorable night.

Favorite: Omar Souleyman.

phil was the best

Streetlight Manifesto had the nicest vibe.
At FYF I saw MBV, MGMT, Dan Deacon, Beach House, Deerhunter, The Underachievers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Poolside. Those are the most memorable.

MBV was amazing up front and close. I caught one of the drumsticks Kevin threw when the sound went out.

Zelda Symphony and Video Games Live(yeah im counting these)

Im planning on seeing The Aquabats next

Fuck i missed seeing them in LA because i wanted my friends to go with me.

After that i learned fuck those guys im going to shows myself if i have too!

Anamanaguchi is opening for Dillon Francis in LA soon, but i think they should be headlining. Should i go?

>>41765514
How was that guy, i heard some people talking about him at FYF but i decided against seeing him because i was up front for MGMT and MBV

I'm going to be seeing Fennesz in 2 weeks?
Anyone been to a show, how was it?

Three Phish shows, two Lotus, three Umphrey's McGee, STS9, and Zappa Plays Zappa.

Not the guy you asked, but Gorguts is am amazing live. Saw them at Noctis, and they out did Carcass.

>>41767727
Good to know that the first concert I might go to will be worth it.

I saw Crystal Castles, Waka Flocka Flame, Sexy Sushi, and Kap Bambino w/ Holograms. All were super cool shows but Waka Flocka was rapping playback sometimes, but he's still an awesome entertainer (he started moshing alone in the middle of the crowd, etc.).

Recommend me some? I've been trying for ages to get into german music but I just can't.

Saw Coheed, BTBAM and Russian Circles in Chicago. All 3 were great.

Andrew WK and The Protomen
Fun as hell.

Baroness
Saw them in a basement and it felt so personal, it was amazing.

>Orion Fest
Battlecross - Seen them 3 times and they've been fucking awful all 3 times
Foals - they were fun as hell, wish they got to play longer
Dropkick Murphys - They were fun I guess
Dehaan - Metallica playing all of Kill Em All, this awesome
Death Grips - They got fucked out of their time slot by Metallica which was stupid, got to see them play Guillotine though
Rise Against - Meh
Silversun Pickups - GOAT performance, was blown away by them, so much fun
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Fucking awful

Fidlar - Fun as hell live, they're just so cool
Joy Formidable - They cancelled right before they were supposed to go on stage which was dumb
Japandroids - They were okay, their audio was horrible though so you couldn't hear anything.
Deftones - They were great
Metallica - They were also great for Metallica

Missed both Marnie Stern in september and Titus Andronicus last night because of school. Foxy Shazam next week though. Pretty fun year for shows

>>41769389
Electric Moon, Vibravoid

Welp. I live in Florida, so no one ever comes here.

Wanted to see Youth Lagoon, never got around to it and didn't want to go by myself. Wanted to see Mount Kimbie, but once again didn't want to go alone and didn't really have any cash to spend. Wanted to see Starfucker, but I was busy.

Did end up going to see Frightened Rabbit with my brother. They put on a pretty good show but I'm not a huge fan of them, they're not really all that special in my opinion.

Kinda realized since then I'm rarely going to have someone to go with, so if I wanna go just go and enjoy the concert by myself.

As for next year though, Arctic Monkeys and Queens of the Stone Age only a week apart. Excited definitely.

>>41769498
Checked em out, seems like I would probably like em if I got into it a bit. But no concerts either :(

I think I'll just have to bite the bullet and drive 4 hours to see anything decent.

>>41754802
AnCo, Ariel Pink, Killer Mike, Juicy J, Kendrick Lamar, Japandroids, Tame Impala, Death Grips, STRFKR, Swans, Joyce Manor, Wu Tang Clan, AarabMuzik, Bjork, Boys Noize, Purity Ring, Alt-J, ASAP Rocky, ASAP Ferg (x2) (even though I fucking hate ASAP Ferg just happened), Spaceghostpurrp, Cults, R Kelly, Chrome Sparks, Grizzly Bear, Charli XCX, Action Bronson

was p fun. Best was Swans, Death Grips, Japandroids, and AnCo.

Worst was Kendrick, Alt J, and Juicy J
