    I have my 3 best. The other 3 are just honorable mentions. Not part of my best. Also, it's not really a "rule" you can post 100 if you like. Putting 3 just makes it tougher and helps the cream rise to the top. Thanks for coming out, though.

    Only went to three shows. They were Eddie Vedder at the Palais in March, 2 concerts, and the Living End at the Palace. All 3 were great.

    i wish, but not that I recall. I was distracted for a song or two as my sister passed out but I knew most of everything they played. It was a killer show. It was my first and only time ever seeing them (or Jack White for that matter) and damn did they sound great.
