Arctic Monkeys, I haven't seen them in a long while but looking forward to seeing them again in September. From what I can tell they've got an awesome setlist fortified by their sheer energy.

As much as I love Muse, The Flaming Lips put on the best concert I've ever seen. I don't even think it mattered that the music was good, with laser hands, a human-size hamster ball, near endless amounts of confetti and balloons, and a megaphone that sprayed blue smoke. Also the fucking UFO and alien stuff. Shit's nuts.

Best show I've ever seen was Yo La Tengo, who were absolutely crazy. Aside from that seeing that Antlers was probably the greatest experience I've had at a concert because they played a great show and are my favorite band and all, also meeting the band and getting to have a conversation with Peter and Darby was amazing. I'm going to see MBV in August, and I'm expecting good things from that show.

Thanks. I'll take that as an insult.

Radiohead, Muse, Arcade Fire are probably the best live acts as of right now for me, seen 3 times each. Radiohead just get too good live, every single song, even Kings of Limbs, sound 10 times better. They are an experience.

But then again.... TRULY BEST LIVE ACT

JUST ONE

PAUL MCCARTNEY!!

3 hour long concerts
the guy is like 70 and plays like he is 22
35 songs set list.
20+ Beatles songs
Live and Let Die...

THE BEST

Saw the a few times. once he brought in all the girls into the band, it made a huge difference. Back in the early stages of the band, people vehemently hated Dirty Projectors when they played local shows.

I've seen a lot over the years. Was lucky enough to cover (as photographer) anyone who came into NYC for the bulk of the last decade, so it's rather impossible to pick just one.

Sigur Ros (an ethereal presence)
Radiohead (5 times. their songs rise to another level live)
Spiritualized (performing Ladies & Gentlemen)
Rocket From The Crypt (perform with a fiery intensity and showmanship)
Sonic Youth (performing Daydream Nation)
Outkast (Not long after Stankonia came out. They had a killer, wild, funk band backing them)
Beastie Boys (only ever Brooklyn Show)
The Walkmen (everything is played faster and more powerful live)
Flaming Lips (child-like splendor)
Broken Social Scene (saw them in a very very tiny room)
Gogol Bordello (a wild party)
Music Tapes (imaginative performance that goes way beyond music)
The Residents (performance art masters)
Thee Oh Sees (wild garage rock. sweaty and unpredictable)
Afghan Whigs (bringing soul to rock)
The Veils (Finn Andrews sings as though he's possessed)
Wilco (best American band alive)
The Cure (Robert Smith looks like a fat goth girl now, but this band still sounds incredible live)
Arcade Fire (inside a church, on Valentine's Day, performing like it was their last time)
Low (minimal, but loaded with dynamic intensity)
My Bloody Valentine (Sensory overload)
Jeff Mangum (nearly brought me to tears)
Godspeed You Black Emperor (the tension was overwhelming. accompanied by great imagery)
