[richter915]

Warped Tour 03...not a show but...all the bands rocked, the entire day was just amazing.

[xnotyourstarx]

Brand New + Straylight Run + hot Rod circuit at roseland.

But I'm seeing Straylight Run at the knitting factory tomorrow, and that should be awesome. So, its between those two, depending on how tomorrow is.

[para ser libre]

WHAT?

Did none of you attend

Thursday, Thrice, and Coheed and Cambria?

not much can beat that guys...comon'

[X Out The Eyes]

Bouncing Souls, Tsunami Bomb, and Strike Anywhere at the Stony Pony in NJ on Halloween.

[depthsofdreams]

In July...Brand New because they're great. With Senses Fail because they're fun.

[SC0926]

i know this is a "punk/emo/whatever" forum..but I have to say some of my fav concerts this year was the Summer Sanitarium tour(i hate limp, but everyone else rocked), plus I had front row..which is hard to do for Metallica/Linkin Park
another one would be Taproot/Chevelle show...that kicked ass, and the Foo Fighters..good times...hmm what else..prolly the Further Seems Forever, Juliana Theory, and The Ataris..that was awesome..plus Warped Tour....Coheed, Brand New, Story of the Year, Thrice, Yellowcard, Glassjaw..woop!

[13th hour]

coheed, thursday, and Thrice.

Oh, and the Faint and Cursive rocked Omaha as usual.

[jgirv17]

Edit: I take back that the Co and Ca show was the best. My favorite show of the year was, without a doubt, ZOX. It was in the upstairs of a restaurant with less than 40 people and was simply amazing. I didn't think it was possible for them to use more energy in a set with such little room to work with.

[playcrcktheskye]

brand new - hot rod circuit - eisley - orange island at the trocadero is the best show i went to this year



but the early november show at the troc too was really really good even though i got punched straight in the face. but the best moment was when serj did a stage dive from the second story of the troc into the crowed and then he did a front flip into the drum set. it was hot.


warped tour kicked major buns too



much love

[Common Man]

Coheed and Cambria, Thrice, and Thursday

[review]

i saw a lot of good bands this year, brand new, movielife, senses fail, moneen, fairweather, thursday, cursive, thrice, coca, the get up kids, reggie and the full effect, a static lullaby, something corporate, ex...

but the best of all year surprised me, i saw-

anatomy of a ghost
bear vs shark
hopesfall

in a small bar that could only hold like 30 people, it was fucking insaine, hopesfall sucked but bearvsshark and anatomy of a ghost almost killed everyone.

o yeah, murder by death was cool too

[yeAA]

the best show i went to this year was The Movielife.. no competition

the 2nd best show would have to be either Chevelle or Brand New

Chevelle is horrible when they're not live.

My favorite shows were:

Cursive/Blood Brothers
Hopesfall
Bright Eyes

[mOvielife99]

warped tour, but if that doesnt count then Reel Big Fish/Zebrahead or TBS/STD

[SC0926]

Whiz Kidz I envy you. I need to see those bands.

[lollirot]

Blood For Blood/Street Dogs. First Blood For Blood show in 4 years since they've been banned from Boston.. they took away the barracades.. amazing crowd... it was a fucking incredible show.

I went to see Catch 22 tonight and it was really good, but the Punchline and Fallout Boy sets bored me to tears and their fans like to stand there, nodding their heads and poking at the air. Big Wig was good too.

So yeah, Blood For Blood.

I missed Mxpx too :( and The Ataris, damnit.

But I did go to In The Grey/New Found Glory/Sum 41 which was cool. And also Antiskeptic, with some local bands supporting.

[itsallcalypso]

The best show I went to this year was the best show I've ever been to; Radiohead in Boston.
The Thursday, Thrice, Coheed show was real good too though.

[notxemoxdreamo]

Either the Rapture/Beans or Q and not U/Black Eyes/French Toast.

AFI, hands down the best live band. Saw them three times this year and I can't wait for their next trip into town. They are absolutely amazing live. Amazing. :)

[angie710]

Rancid, Brand New, Something Corporate, Yellowcard December 2 radio show but very fun and my last trip to lupos


THE top show of the year was definitly ^^ but i was switching in and out of lupos/met.. i was soooo bummed.. i didnt get to see story of the year :( i only really went to see SOTY and BN .. kill hannah was anh :-\ but soco and yellowcard were surprisingly good! ..

another awesome show was M80 and BN aug. 28th at india point park..

and the last was Shilelagh law at connollys in NY i forget the date

[xnotyourstarx]

if I went to the Co&Ca show that would probably be up on my list. But after the Straylight Run show at the knitting factory on Sunday night, I might just say that it surpassed Brand New + Straylight at Roseland.

It was smaller (obviously), not as crowded for a sold out show, and I was right against the stage. I also met a lot of people from the various bands that played. And two of the openers, on my signal + kevin devine, were amazing which is something i wasn't expecting. I also met shaun from straylight run. And when John Nolan started playing Play Crack hte Sky on the piano, and Jesse came out to sing and play guitar, it was insane.

I don't know, they were both really, really good. The Knitting Factory is an awesome venue though, despite its small size.

[angie710]

^^ Did you go to Thrice, Thursday Coheed at Roseland?

Knitting Factory is probably one of my favorite venues.. I like the Bowery Ballroom, too...

[relik]

Hands down, no competition:

Straylight Run, The New Amsterdams, The Format, and Murder by Death.

[simpsonic]

Brand New, Hot Rod Circuit

[RefusedsXe]

Not counting festivals....

Deftones/Thrice/Thursday

But I went to Warped 5 times and those were my favorite days of the year....

Yep, that was awesome.

[pUnkKid174]

warped tour 2003 (july 28 virginia beach), great bands and none beat out thrice...
me and my sister got kicked in the face up there...it was weird

also thought that the Bitter, Broken, Bound, and Gagged Tour 2003 (august 31 buena vista, virginia) with Atreyu, God Forbid, Darkest Hour, and Underoath was great

but then again those are sadly the two only shows that i've been allowed to go to :(

i really wanted to go to one of the shows with Thrice, Thursday, and Coheed and Cambria
wanted to go to one of the shows with From Autumn To Ashes, Every Time I Die, Funeral For A Friend, and Hoobastank
that would've kicked ass...

[blacksails001]

I think the AFI/Rancid show in Seattle was the best of the year though. AFI own live, they are amazing. And the addition of Rancid is awesome. :)

[ALLbUtNoThIng03]

in no particular order
1)Alkaline Trio/Reggie & The Full Effect,and From Autumn To Ashes
2)Drive-Thru Invasion Tour(except Starting Line...didnt stay for them)
3)Story of the Year,& Saosin
