Last:
Christian McBride and Inside Straight at the Iron Horse Music Hall at the end of October with Hack. I know he hearts me because he missed the first game of the World Series to take me to that show. *swoon*

First:
First without parents - Depeche Mode at Saratoga Performing Arts Centre in 1989, the Violator tour. It was pretty awesome.

Best:
I've seen a LOT of good shows, really really great shows...but hands down the *best* was Bjork at the Royal Opera House in 2002. She was accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra, Matmos were live DJ/Sound Engineering on stage, Zeena Parkins the electric harpist and a 12 voice choir from Greenland. And amazingly she could have carried the whole opera house with her voice alone, her voice is pristine, so clear and full, its quite amazing.

And she wore a now-famous dress created for her by Alexander McQueen that is an ostrich feather skirt and the bodice is covered in 1000s of microscope slides painted red...when she danced she used the dress as a percussion instrument -- you can hear the slides of glass tinkling against one another, it sounds like she's covered in bells. The dress was featured in the recent McQueen retrospective put on by the MET a couple of years ago.

I was truly overwhelmed by the show.

Watch..

Worst:
Woodstock 94. For so many reasons..... It was cold. It rained the whole time. I was knee deep in mud for 2.5 days. People were horrible to one another. They were stealing. There were fights. There was violence. There was not a single performance that was good enough to make it worth the hell that it was.

First - The Go Gos

Last - Sting

Best - Fleet Foxes - such multitalented show men.

Worst - Death Cab for Cutie - just stood there and sang. Flat and boring presentation.

Next - The Boy and I go to quite a few, but we actually don't have anything scheduled just yet. I'm sure we'll make the Hangout Music Festival in May, but no idea who'll be playing yet.
