fugazi, capitol theater, olympia wa. 1999 with the ex opening up. the ex are one of the best live acts i've ever seen. fugazi - just goes without saying, and olympia is a second hometown for them.

slayer, PNE forum, vancouver 1994. they opened with "raining blood". 'nuff said.

shellac, showbox theater 1997. steve albini: "i'm wearing my burzum shirt tonight. as you can see, it has nordic runes on it..."

gorilla biscuits - reunion tour july 2006, seattle. best part for me was both me and Civ wearing bad brains shirts... and the singalong part "no reason why... to beat up on a poser skin..." and then i'm up on stage, singing along, bad brains shirt to bad brains shirt... and he gives me the mic. beautiful.

helmet - town pump, vancouver 1991. strap it on tour. so fucking brutal.

death sentence - kelowna bc, 1987. first hardcore show ever.

BB King - Pine Knob, Clarkston, MI. Not a great show, but a f'ing legend and had the chance to sit down and meet him as I was working in concert p.r. at the time.

Phish, Roseland Ballroom 2000. They oversold the show, about 2,500 people at the show.

Brad Mehldau - Yonsei Concert Hall, Seoul 2003

For me the best concert was the Final Phish tour in 2004. I saw them both shows out at Alpine Valley. There was a great vibe in the air, as well as some other stuff to. . The band was certainly in a groove those nights. The crowd in the lawn seats were getting into the music like I had not seen in a while. Nobody wanted the magical night to end.

Jane's Addiction & the Chili Peppers in Seoul- was it 2003?

Jane's rawked so hard! It was orgasmic. It just can't be described. It was a real fulfillment to finally see them.
The Chili Peppers were tired, but put on a pretty great show. They couldn't upstage Jane's opening for them, though.

Seeing Tool this past summer was also great. They are just unbelievable!

I saw them 1st back at Lollapalooza '93 in Atlanta.
It was:
Rage Against the Machine- really cool, but they had just come out at the time, so didn't really know them. I knew I liked it, though.
Tool- same as Rage.
Front 242- strange to see outside in the daytime.
Dinosaur Junior- I liked their tape at the time, but they were seriously boring live.
Arrested Development- played with a live band and it was grooving.
Fishbone- only played 4 songs for their 45 minute set, but it was a non-stop groove. They had the whole place jumping and moving like wild animals.
Alice In Chains- they were great. Mesmerizing! Shame what happened to Layne Staley.
Primus- closed the show and were great. A truly original and unique sound to hit the big time. Whoda thunk it?

Nine Inch Nails on the Downward Spiral tour. That was my favorite band of his. It was a powerful and moving show.
Marilyn Manson opened up and it sucked- boring!

G. Love & Special Sauce in a small club my last year in university- great show, great energy.

A real highlight was seeing a show at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco. It was Mickey Hart and Planet Drum. Hart was one of the Dead drummers and is now exploring world music with a group a world-class players. Along with him was what seemed to be an ancient Sudanese man named Hamza El Din. He opened the show alternating between a simple hand drum and a lute like instrument that accompanied his poetry singing. The whole crowd just shut up and experienced it. It was like a seance. A really great experience.

The Decemberists: Washington, DC and Kansas City (I believe both in 2005). Damn, I love the Decemberists.

De La Soul: Washington DC, 2005

Billy Idol: Kansas City, 2004. I was the youngest person there, and surrounded by 40 year olds in leather. With a rebel yell, indeed.

Valient Thorr: 2006

And don't laugh, but Third Eye Blind in 2002
