First concert - Living Colour, 1988 Last concert - LCD Soundsystem Best Concert - My Morning Jacket Worst concert- Modest Mouse (more disappointing than bad) Loudest concert - Alice Cooper/Rob Zombie Best sounding - probably the National at Carnegie Music Hall in PGH. Immaculate. Seen the most - tie between Spoon, The National & The Black Keys (3 each) Most surprising - The Bug Club. Didn’t expect them to be so good. Most unusual - AE music festival in PGH that featured Gnarls Barkley, Spoon, the Raconteurs, the Black Keys, The Roots & Bob Dylan for $50 circa 2008 Craziest - Twas the night I got thrown-moshed-smashed into the speakers up front at The Thermals concert in CLE Next Concert - The Joy Formidable this month in SEA Wish I had seen - Florence + the Machine. I skipped it bcs they played an outdoor venue in a summer downpour 2 hours away from me. I imagine it was probably epic.

@Robert Erbes I think it was the summer of 2011, maybe? They played in a giant parking lot for 3 hours, which was hell on my feet but totally worth it.

When I want to actively listen, I put a record on the turntable in my basement “fan cave”. When at work it’s always KEXP with one earbud in, and in my car it’s either KEXP or KUTX. But as an introvert, I need times of silence as well!
