Okay, I'm curious. What made The Who bad, deceased matriarch?
Best concert of mine was probably seeing Roger Waters at the Hollywood Bowl in 06. He did all of Dark Side of the Moon and most of the best cuts from the other albums. I'll never forget the drunk guy next to me who turned to me when the band went into "Wish You Were Here" and said "This is a good fuckin' song, man..." and kept yelling "YEAH, ROGER!" at random intervals at the concert. Seriously funny stuff. And you can only get that at a concert. Just feeling the energy from the crowd. Not to mention how my friend and I were probably the only people NOT smoking pot there. The whole place was blazing up as soon as the band started DSOTM. My worst concert? I dunno. Does an awful lawn concert of some guy trying to sing 70s and 80s songs with a cover band count? I saw one of those last summer and it was pretty unintentionally hilarious. The guy did hit his stride in the second half though, to be fair. But if we're talking about the single worst performance I've ever seen, I've gotta give it to four tone deaf guys trying to sing "Get Back" at karaoke at my junior prom.

The Who was bad cause:
-Constant technical failures -The Who blaming the fans for their lazy performance -An old man fight (almost a good thing, but it stopped too early) -Worst possible opening band ever... Counting Crows -Had more fun getting a drink than watching the show -All possible pussy was over 60 -The Who played waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much newer songs that nobody cares for/knows Anyway. Seeing two main concert events next week: Soundwave Music Festival and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Soundwave has a tonne of bands, but mainly looking forward to A Perfect Circle and (Me)'tallica. Metallica and Nick Cave... now that's some old cunts that know how to deliver a good live show. Hell, even Nick Cave can make a good album still.

Part of why I don't want to see the Stones. Although the $750(!!!!) ticket price is a good enough reason anyway. I hope you didn't pay nearly that much to watch The Who completely suck. Metallica ARE old cunts but I hear their live show kicks ass. Me jelly. Unfortunately I have no concerts planned for this year

I was thinking about getting my dad a ticket one of The Who shows, but now I know better!
I was thinking about Clapton too, but tickets are going for $500 and while I believe it's totally worth it I don't have the money |

So did Soundwave. The bands I managed to catch:
Anthrax- yeah, thrash metal that I care very little about, seemed to have a good crowd relationship Stone Sour- another band I don't like, but just saw while I was waiting for the good stuff. Was ok. A Perfect Circle- Sonically, amazing, peformance wise, it looked like the Aussie heat was really getting to them. Maynard just bounced up and down like a monkey and drank beer between songs and James Iha looked physically ill and just didn't want to be there. Cypress Hill- This was pretty fun to watch. Nothing more nothing less. Slayer- Yep, Slayer being Slayer. Linkin Park- An act I subjected myself to while waiting for Metallica to start. Was god awful but I'm pretty sure if I liked them it was a pretty amazing set. Metallica- The best of the day (obviously), played a full 2hr 15 min set and played all classic songs, no songs from after the Black Album. Highlight was the performance of Harvester of Sorrow. So yeah, all up, pretty good day, got a decent bang for my buck and surprisingly only managed to spend a paltry 30 bucks (on top of the 200 dollar entry fee) the entire day. Anyway, I have Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds later today, and from the set lists and the footage I have seen/heard from this tour, it looks like its gonna be the show of the year. Very excited.

So, double post, but:
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: -Best show I've seen in YEARS (no exaggeration, if the Bad Seeds are coming to your town make sure you get yourself a ticket) -A very varied set, about half of the new album was played, Jubilee Street live arrangement was HUGE -Lots of old classics and a few surprises such as Your Funeral My Trial and Stranger than Kindness -A slight technical mishap with the amplification on Warren Ellis' viola -I got right up to the front, so close that I could shake Nick's hand OH AND: -Night was topped by a young girl punching an older woman in the face, making her dentures fly out and hit my friend in the back. True story. So yeah, fucking great night out. Next up, TOOL in April (this will be my 3rd time seeing them), the tour description has promise of the "debut of NEW material" too, though... it's Tool, everything they say is to be taken with a pinch of salt.

IF I see Shugo Tokumaru month, I'll have seen every Japanese artist I've been into... except the one that really matters!
