Best concert LIVE!

I've seen some really amazing shows. AFI is one of my favorite bands and has been for....ever. I've kind of grown up listening to them but just got a chance to see them live on their last tour in '06. It was so incredible. They are back in the studio, working on a new album so a new tour should be right around the corner and I can hardly wait.

I saw Kill Hannah (another of my favorites going back several years) in this dive in Colorado Springs with probably 100-150 people, total. They had just come off an arena tour and were so glad to be back to the small venues, which is where they got their start and where they really love to play, so they really let loose. But the singer, Mat Devine, blamed us for it. For some reason every band I've seen play here has said basically the same thing: We love coming to Colorado...you people are crazy.

The third best show I've ever seen was billed as Dashboard Confessional but it was really just Chris Carrabba and a guitar...for almost 2 hours! Augustana and John Ralston opened the show and then Chris just played and told stories for nearly 2 hours. A good hour and a half anyway. I saw him with the full band a year later, co-headlining the Rock Band Live Tour with Panic at the Disco, and they were still incredible but Chris is such an amazing performer, he really needs a whole night to himself.
