    My problem is not that I am not old enough to remember the band Triumph, but that I am not old enough to have forgotten.

    Best Concerts:

    Neil Young w/ Sonic Youth and Social Distortion (early 90s)
    U2 on the War Tour (about 1983-4)
    NIN, 1994
    Drive By Trucker anytime, everytime

    The 2010 Bayou Country Superfest at Louisiana State University- LSU Tiger Stadium. There were too many performers to list individually but the highlights were Brooks' and Dunn's as one of the last stops on their farewell tour. Then Kenny Chesney closed the show. The concert sold out at 80,000 tickets for the two days. My best friend and I flew from MA for the concert and spent a few days sight seeing at New Orleans. We got our first tattoos at the Deja Vu Tattoo Parlor... If you like country music, I totally recommend you check it out the May 2012 show. I hope to be there :)

    Godsmack: seen them 4 times and LOVE them. RHCP and Foo Fighters ROCKED ... forgot what year, but I was in college and was like soooo close to the stage. A complete stranger let me sit on his shoulders through almost all of the concert.

    Green Day 2010, just because it has been my life goal to see them live and it was SO perfect. But I went to a Papa Roach concert recently and was up front and man it was pretty awesome.

    Muse 2007 and Muse 2010 - The perfect live band. Awesome music with some great additions to the endings of songs (Rage Against The Machine Riff here, a Nirvana riff there, random b-side riff...), fantastic light/video shows that go along with the music, engaging band members, HUGE floating balls of confetti thrown into the crowds, etc... just awesome awesome stuff.

    Shihad - A band from New Zealand full of the rock. Every Shihad show is one of the best concerts I've been to. I'm up to about 9 now. Check them out, meow!

    Pearl Jam ~ 1997 - There was a tour announced for Australia and as is the case many a time, no Perth show. The city collected a massive amount of petition signatures (old school style, internet was not popular enough back then. Signatures were signed at music shops across the city for months in the lead up to their arrival in Australia). Pearl Jam caught wind of the petition and ensured they squeezed a show in for us. They didn't dissapoint; Nearly 3 hours of music played for us in Perth, West Australia. The whole experience from not believing they'd come, having the petition work, 3 hours of everything you wanted them to play and more. Good times.

    And Foo Fighters ~ 2006 I think - They played Belvoir Amphitheatre, this amazing outdoor venue where no matter where you sit/stand you have a great view of the band. Was such an intimate, in your face show and Dave still mentions it every time they play in Perth. Seeing them again in November and can not wait. Wasting Light live is going to be a big thing for me, it's been a rough year and its been the album in my head through all the bad.

    Best concert? That would have to be this year's coachella.
    On the Friday I checked out The Rural Alberta Advantage, !!!, Odd Future Wolfgang Kill Them All, Lauryn Hill, Interpol, The Black Keys. I left before Kings of Leon.
    On the Saturday I checked out Gogol Bordello, Eryka Badu, Broken Social Scene, One Day as a Lion, Mumford and Sons, and left before arcade Fire.
    On the Sunday I checked out CSS Nas and Damien Marley Death from Above 1979 The national Chromeo and The Strokes and left before Kanye.

    I got tickets for next year already and I have no idea who's performing. Such a great time. I highly recommend it to everyone.
