I have only been to two, both Ray LaMontagne, so I guess he was my favourite Razz
The second was better though

I've never gone to a gig for a single band; always to festivals like Austin City Limits, SXSW, Fun Fun Fun Fest, etc. I've been to 9-ish festivals, give or take one.

Surprisingly I find rap concerts to be the best. Maybe I have just not seen the right rock act in person.

Jay Z
Snoop Dogg/Eminem/Dr. Dre
Wu- Tang Clan

I haven't seen nearly enough. I've seen:

Modest Mouse
The National
R.E.M
The Vandals
Bomb The Music Industry!

I was going to go see Dethklok/Mastodon/High On Fire/Converge but the idiots I was going with didn't tell me where it was and we wasted $40.

I take my earlier statement back, I saw Sonic Youth by themselves in Austin once; but other than that just festivals (saw them at this years ACL too)
