best show you have seen this year

[offthewallsg]

for me its jacks mannequin

[hailthewarrior]

i havent been to a show this year, yet. :'(

but im seein anberlin, brand new, and paramore in the next couple months.

[Hainzey X]

So far it was my chemical romance. That was some crazy shit. Still plenty of shows left though, as its only march.

[tcemoo]

I suddenly feel super lame, but I have not yet gone to a show this year :'(

I'm seeing Limbeck and Taking Back Sunday on Saturday and then Brand New on the 23rd, followed by Straylight Run the 25th.

[GlassyLight]

AFI, without a doubt

[Branevember31]

i've only been to one...

All Time Low+This Providence=Pretty Good Pop-Punk

[AEast317]

i havent been to a lot this year

so im going to say its a tie between gwen stacy (as far as performance AND crowd participation) and kevin devine(great performance)

[gurrentzy321]

I've been to the fray, the vincent black shadow, taste of chaos, and i'm going to my chemical romance on sunday. i'm not really sure which is my favorite though. It's a tie between the vincent black shadow and taste of chaos cuz i saw an acoustic set and met the band at the vbs show, and at toc, some of the performances kinda sucked but i met a guitarist and will from aiden, cove from saosin, and all of evalin. my first time crowd surfing was also during aiden's set.

[LifeKillsRebels]

well...
i've only been to 3 shows this year so far...
FOB/NFG/TEN/PM
Self Against City
and The Matches/ETF/I Am Ghost/The Higher
and i'd say that the FOB show was better overall (i'm not really a FOB fan though)
but the matches' set was the best
because they are my faves

[falloutboy.]

FOB/NFG show was sick. Jack's was amazing. But I have a feeling from what I hear, MCR is gonna rock my shit this sunday

[iihungrieii]

ive only been to the cartel/boys like girls/cobra/quietdrive show. but that show was one of the best that ive ever been to

[Musicfreak81389]

TOOL
without a doubt

best live show out there at the moment, visually and musically amazing

[lacesout, shane]

definetly The Acacia Strain

[goldfishy12356]

I suddenly feel super lame, but I have not yet gone to a show this year :'(

I'm seeing Limbeck and Taking Back Sunday on Saturday and then Brand New on the 23rd, followed by Straylight Run the 25th.

milwaukee, yesss!

[whipcream4teen]

I've only been to three shows this year so far (there's about 10 coming up that I'm excited for though). All three were great.

Annuals, The Fall of Troy, Aloha

[aircourtneys]

Brand New with Dashboard on Halloween! (It was great minus the Dashboard....)

[Ilovepoprock]

sherwood last friday

[notoaststereo]

john mayer by far.

second to that would be kevin devine.

[Dr. VanNostrand]

Cobra Starship

[tcemoo]

Now that I have seen a show in 2007, I can easily say Limbeck at The Exclusive Company. The band sounded great, they played both my favorite Limbeck tracks (Home is Where the Van Is and Honk and Wave) and simply pwned the roof off that joint.

[daniellee]

I've only been to Jack's Mannequin this year...I was supposed to see Incubus in Detriot at the start of feb. but it was cancelled. This month I'm seeing Brand New on St.Patricks day and against me!

[thechrisformat]

sherwood last friday


jealous! :-(

for me, jack's mannequin by far and also the rocket summer was very fun.

[alexxxisonfire]

Justin Timberlake, duh.

Dick in a Box live!

[heartsynapse]

Jack's was amazing, but Bright Eyes and M. Ward was better.

[S84newt2000]

FOB/NFG or Manchester Orchestra

[Rich Duncan]

So far for me it has been the Russian Circles/The Velvet Teen/P.O.S/Minus The Bear tour. That was in October of 2006, but I consider it this year because it was late in 2006 (and because Minus The Bear played three new songs).

such a great tour.

[TonyValentine]

patent pending/mc lars/suburban legends. it was across the street from my house, and the pa caught fire during patent pendings set. it was amazing.

[muffinstylings]

Mastodon/Converge or Cage/Yak Ballz/ XO Skeletons. Both of those shows kicked ass.

[ourlady311]

Hands down, incubus at the tabernacle in a-town...one of the best shows i've ever been to. those guys tore the fucking house down...if you've never seen them, DO IT this summer...be ready for a fucking awesome positive vibe show.

[makeasound]

As far as headlining goes, either Jack's Mannequin or AFI. Both were absolutely amazing.

Lineup wise, Over It + Melee + Quietdrive. All put on a really good show and had the crowd going.

[devinisdie]

John Mayer. But I have a feeling that Saves the Day and Say Anything in may is gonna be my top show for the next couple years.

[JD lcfa x7]

cant really say much for this year because i missed jack at hammerstein but last year i saw Cartel, and Permanent Me at club ritual in levittown (hit the lights dropped) so permanent me played for 45 minutes and Cartel played for what seem to be like 2 hours because they had so much time. They played both of their cds pretty much through. the music and peformance was amazing. Me and my friends met Will in the back parking lot he signed my poster it was pretty ill. We talked to him for about 10 minutes he's a down to earth person.

last summer at the donkey i saw CIWWAF, Hit the Lights and Paramore. I met Hailey she signed my shoe. I told her i loved her and she was like haha thanks peace. lol that was a really small show I met pretty much everyone in all of the bands. its much better going t osmall shows cuz u interact with the members.
other great show HTL/NFG/Cartel/TEN i high fived jordan of NFG when i was crowd surfing that was cool.
For this year so far it would have to be Valencia, Bayside, and Punchline. I caught the singers pic from Punchline and got it signed. Some bitch kicked me in the face but I got it. I'd have to say that Punchline is underrated and Bayside is way overrated.
Next week lineup is Valencia back to back nights with hit the lights so we'll see how that goes and ill post back to you

[kashleywitha_k]

i have been to a few so far... but only local ones.. sort of. the best show i have been to this year was 2*sweet/ fireworks/ the carsons/the promise hero,/the critically acclaimed

[SteveLikesMusic]

Thursday w/ Murder By Death. Their live shows always blow me away.

[LifeKillsRebels]

i have been to a few so far... but only local ones.. sort of. the best show i have been to this year was 2*sweet/ fireworks/ the carsons/the promise hero,/the critically acclaimed
I wanted to go to that but couldn't get off work... Were you at Self Against City @ the KofC?

[kashleywitha_k]

I wanted to go to that but couldn't get off work... Were you at Self Against City @ the KofC?


no. =( but im pretty sure i wanted to go to that one. wasnt that one of the 23 or 24th of feb? i believe there was a show both dates and i wanted to go to one or both. who pl;ayed which one?

[laxcrs]

ted leo and death cab is the best show i have ever seen

[littlepaperstar]

let's see...this year I've been to a bunch...
Max Bemis/Andy Jackson Acoustic
Augustana/Vega4
Kevin Devine/Pablo/Koufax/Jennifer O'Connor
Daphne Loves Derby/Waking Ashland/Dave Mellilo/Paulson
The Remus Lupins
Bayside/Anberlin/Meg and Dia
Jack's Mannequin/the audition/head automatica
Mae/Sherwood/Relient K
Hit the Lights/Valencia

I'd say the best was the max bemis acoustic set...crazy amazing.

[LifeKillsRebels]

no. =( but im pretty sure i wanted to go to that one. wasnt that one of the 23 or 24th of feb? i believe there was a show both dates and i wanted to go to one or both. who pl;ayed which one?
it was the 23rd... i'm not sure what was the 24th but on the 23rd it was the promise hero/carsons/self against city/and you're not invited and i think there were 2 more that i have forgotten

[LifeKillsRebels]

oh yeah...
new best show of the year
either
Quietdrive/A Change of Pace/Classic Crime
or
Brand New... it was so amazing

[notoaststereo]

john mayer... then kevin devine.

[thatwasamoment]

Spitalfield/William Tell/Dave Melillo

[salty eyes]

brand new. hands down. it was incredible.

[GoWaitInTheCar]

mewithoutYou last night.

[Youngmachete]

The Blood Brothers last night. Good Stuff.

[ekw611]

Straylight Run/Annuals at UNCW last month.

[weworemasks]

the fall of troy/portugal.the man/tera melos/damiera tour in january blew my fucking face off, but even better than that was explosions in the sky a couple of weeks ago. unbelievable.

[LifeKillsRebels]

I feel like I am missing something because so many people are into Kevin Devine...
but I can't really get into him :-(

[mattybobviously]

Sick Puppies the past week. Show absolutely sucked 'til they came on stage, but they were incredible, and it cost me a dollar.

Zac Clark/Greg Douglass was really good too, and The Urgency put on a decent show as well.

Still though, nothing will compare after Brand New

[blimpcityhero11]

I haven't seen many yet this year, but probably the Friends or Enemies tour... I'm pissed I missed out on Brand New though!

[screenhead]

The Used win this hands down probably the best band i have ever seen live

[glowah]

I've seen over 200 hundred bands live and The Killers put on the best live show. It is a let down to listen to their cds after hearing them live.

Muse is a close second.

[Dr. Acula]

Brand New/Kevin Devine/Manchester Orchestra tour.

[duhpunk]

Less Than Jake

They played the entire "Pezcore" and "Losing Streak" albums and various songs from "in with the out crowd" "anthem" and "hello rockview" 2 hour non-stop set

[lushintransit]

i haven't been to a show yet this year :(

[underthetalking]

Moneen. Hands down best show this year. Maybe even my life.

[volleypunk15]

The Matches! The rest of the bands at the show were forgettable to me but the Matches made the night incredible. All the shows I have seen this year will pale in comparison to the two, possibly three, Saves The Day shows I will be attending in April and May.

the matches put on such an amazing live show all the time... no matter how big the audience... i love it!

[kashleywitha_k]

[kashleywitha_k]

it was the 23rd... i'm not sure what was the 24th but on the 23rd it was the promise hero/carsons/self against city/and you're not invited and i think there were 2 more that i have forgotten

im pretty sure no one could not love the promise hero
they are the nicest people ever too
what was the new song?
and

the carsons are good too but i haven't really ever been able to get into them
it was an awesome show though!

are you going to the punchline show that the promise hero is playing at?

[LV03]

Thursday w/ Murder By Death. Their live shows always blow me away.

Thursday w/ Murder by Death??...that right there sounds like it would be an awesome show.


mine i would have to say probably Brand New (except i was bummed about the 17 and not 22 song list) or LBC??? Other than that no shows really blew me away this year.

[kashleywitha_k]

YES!!!! as long as my boss gives me the night off... but im not sure the new song.. i asked about it tho.. appearently the girl who psted the videos didnt know either since it said new song (i think) which it is, but i havent heard it until the video was posted. and my favorite song is eyes wide open(non acoustic version) i ask them to play it every show i go to and they play it for me. and seriously they are the nicest band ever. i love them. this is the video.

i like all of thier songs.. not gonna lie... they make it hard to really pick a favorite. they always play eyes wide open for me, thats probably why its my fav.

[LifeKillsRebels]

hahaa

[kashleywitha_k]

hahaa

yep. exactly. are you going to the promise hero/ the punchline/permanant me show?

[mattybobviously]

Class Clown played their last Vermont show last night, and needless to say, it was incredible.

[LifeKillsRebels]

yep. exactly. are you going to the promise hero/ the punchline/permanant me show?

i'm like 98% sure that i am... i'm pretty excited about it!
the only sad part is it's Permanent me w/o Justin :-(

[thebestkylever]

i saw the socratic/new frontiers/chris pagan tour at a vfw hall in el paso illinois with about 15 other people. it was an absolute blast... definately my show of the year so far.

[chelseatine]

without a doubt

THE CURE

unbelievable... I'm seeing Saves the day soon they always blow my mind so I'm looking forward to that.

[kashleywitha_k]

i'm like 98% sure that i am... i'm pretty excited about it!

same here. as long as i get off work that day im def. going.

[whoa its victor]

I've only been to 5 shows this year so far, so the best has been The Early November. both times.

[WasteofPaint31]

Thursday with Fear Before the March of Flames at the end of January was a really really good show

[shutup]

i've only been to two this year, none which were totally memorable (taste of chaos/taking back sunday) so i'll go with a show i saw in november.

36 Crazyfists, La Crosse, WI. With a bunch of no-name hardcore bands, that were cute.
