overall it was pretty bleak compared to most recent years for me, but i certainly saw some great shows.

trust me, these alone are not bleak

haha. i know, but i always see a ton of jacket shows when they tour, so this was a given.

also, i was referring more to the amount of shows i made it to. not really the quality. the quality was superb.

I gotcha. Seeing them at Red Rocks must had been incredible. One of these days I'll make it out there for a show

1/8 Weezer
4/4 Queens of the Stone Age
9/3 PJ20
9/4 PJ20
11/12 Local H
12/31 Cage The Elephant

Any year I get to see PJ twice is a good one.

The Cage show last night was great, but lord the sound was god awful. The Aragon usually is pretty bad, but last night was a new low.

I love the Aragon for sentimental reasons. Most of the time, the sound is at least palatable! This was outrageously bad.

Lifted: I did, thanks. Having previously been up and down the East Coast, with multiple visits to New York and Boston over the years, and having been from San Fran through the south and mid-West in 2003, it was great to finally spend a week going nuts in LA and another week in Seattle; 2 places left I always wanted to visit. I was thorough in my sightseeing for both of them. Partied a lot, drove a lot, saw a lot, DIDN'T sleep a lot: the perfect vacation then. The shows got me there, but they weren't even the highlight!

God doesn't bad sound just piss you off? Saw APC this summer and the sound was horrible!

As a huge U2 fan, my favourite non-U2 concert was Prince in the night of 9th to 10th of July (he started at 2:00). He's a genius of course, but the setlist featured songs I really wanted him to play (starting with Joy In Repetition, playing Bambi) even if I didn't know some of those songs yet.
Favourite U2 concert was the 3rd of April one in La Plata (Argentina III to be short). What an audience!

And 2012 is already looking good with 2 Pearl Jam shows! (plus Gavin Friday, The Jayhawks again, Elvis Costello again, this time with his spectacular spinning songbook)

Eraserhead

6 July - Eddie Vedder, Long Beach
8 July - Eddie Vedder, Los Angeles
31 Aug - Arcade Fire, Manchester
11 Sep - Pearl Jam, Toronto
12 Sep - Pearl Jam, Toronto

Pretty quiet year TBH, ingoring the long-haul trips to LA and Canada.

Nice, I saw him several years ago.

Yeah, I'm a huge Weird Al fan but had never seen him live, so I jumped at the chance. The show was awesome and hilarious.

Mine was amazing. I saw PJ play at Alpine Valley to start the tour and in Vancouver for the end of the North American Tour. I flew to LA to see RATM and Muse. I saw Tom Morello play in the Crocodile Cafe with a crowd of about 100. I almost forgot that I saw Eddie play twice at Benorya Hall and the last show of my 2011 was Jay-z and Kanye. Looking back I had a great year of shows.
