    2- thee Oh Sees at Warsaw NY
    3- TY Segall at the Bowery
    4- the Weeks at Brooklyn Bowl. These guys keep getting better and better.
    5-arcade fire Sunday show at Barclays. Their entrance and exit from the show was amazing.

    HM- Korn at the paramount. Foals at terminal 5. Modest Mouse at Forrest hills. Bombay Bicycleclub at Hammerstein. Totally forgot NIN and QOTSA at Barclays. They killed it too.

    Sorry, couldn't do just five with PJ being three of them. They are just on a different level than almost all other shows for me. Only one that came pretty close was Jack White.

    Tom Petty
    Karen O
    Death Cab For Cutie
    Jimmy Eat World (& minibosses!)
    Bridge School Benefit

    Honorable Mention: NIN/Soundgarden

    Dishonorable Mention: Weezer, originally scheduled to be the first show after the new album drop, when the album was pushed back a week, only played for a little over an hour at a non-festival headlining show. Completely inexcusable for a band with that many albums.
