    I'm a big fan of multiday music festivals - bonaroo or gathering of the vibes are two of my favorites.


    If I had to pick just one and this is hard...would likely be motley crue/buckcherry/paparoach

    Marelyfest down in Miami in 2003 was a helluva lot of fun. Damian, Stephen, Kymani and some of the other Marleys put on a great show. Plus other various reggae artists throughout the entire day and into the night. Booze, weed's legal for the day. Like for real. They search your **** before going in, however i had a little pipe and a small amount of ganj on me, which they simply were not interested in. the entire venue (an awesome outdoor amphitheater down in Miami right on the water) is crawling with cops, but again people, myself included, would light up right in front of them, or wander around with a joint, and the cops were just not interested in that. i think mostly they were worried about fights and violence and ****. lol but not a lotta fights happening when everyone's high as a kite jamming to bob marley's sons and company. good fricken times.

    ani difranco puts on an AMAZING live performance. she is a fantastic musician, storyteller, person--! i cannot praise her enough. i maybe kind of want to make out with her.

    DMB as well, puts on a damn good live performance. haven't seen 'em though since LeRoi died.

    i'm a big fan of live music. small or large. sometimes the most fun is had catching some local band jamming at a bar or restaurant.

    Prince!!! Nothing more needs to be said. The Purple One is a phenomenal performer, showman and musician.

    Janet Jackson during her hey day was amazing too. I saw the Velvet Rope show at Madison Square Garden. Loved it. So wish I could've seen her brother. That would have been a show to remember

    QUEEN. back in late 70's. It was a winter snowy storm night. They performed a three hour set with no lead in band. Freddy Mercury was fantastic. Nothing has ever been able to top it. By a twist of fate, my friend and I managed to get in early and got to see the sound check. The whole night was magical.

    I can't pick one - my first Conor Oberst concert when I was 20 - the first time I saw Sigur Ros when I was 21 and the only time I saw Royksopp when I was 21.

    Man, I rocked then.
