    Nobody caught a TOOL show in January?

    TOOL in St Louis would be on my list of top 10 shows this year.
    Of course PJ @ Wrigley x2....

    If this list was 15/16, I would have had Tool from Tempe on Halloween in my top 5.

    Definitely spoiled up here. But I'm dying to see Pearl Jam in Nashville so you've got me beat there. Hoping to make a trip there if they stop there on the next tour. :smiley:

    Highlights including last December, since this year's hasn't been completed yet:

    * Neko Case at Apollo Theater, NYC - Dec. 2015.
    * Spring Standards - King Killer Studios Brooklyn, & Boxing Day show at Arden Gild Hall, Delaware - Dec. 2015
    * Wilco - 3x but I guess I'll go with King's Theater Brooklyn 2/5/16 as the best, if only because it was my first time in that awesome venue.
    * The Who - March 14 Philly - might be my last time seeing them, barring me attending any other Desert Trip-like festivals.
    * Lucius - 4x in 2016. Daryl's House in Pawling NY June 24 was my favorite. Great to still be able to see them in tiny venues from time to time.
    * Pearl Jam - 4x including 2 great MSG shows, but I'll pick Columbia SC as my favorite. They were all really and equally great though.
    * Rhett Miller - June 20 City Winery NYC. He performed a solo acoustic Wreck Your Life in its entirety (minus the Murry song)
    * Joseph Arthur - August 15 City Winery NYC. Love the new album "The Family."
    * Temple of the Dog - MSG November 7. Once in a lifetime show?
    * Drive-By Truckers - Union Transfer Philly November 9 - Nobody I'd rather have listened to the night after the election.
    * Los Lobos & Mavis Staples - November 20, Music Hall, Tarrytown, NY - I fell off the LL bandwagon in the last 2-3 years, but this hometown (for me) show was rejuvenating.

    2017 is shaping up to be another good year, I've already bought tickets to a bunch of shows!

    1. Radiohead - 10/7 ACL
    2. The Church - 4/8 Dallas
    3. Pearl Jam - 4/16 Greenville
    4. Pearl Jam - 4/18 Hampton
    5. Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - 7/2 Nashville
    6. Collective Soul - 9/7 Allen
    7. Robert Plant - 3/18 Midland
    8. The Toadies - 8/14 Waco
    9. Vaden Todd Lewis - 7/21 Dallas

    Morrissey would be on the list but he decided to cancel his tour the night before the Dallas show, only to suddenly reschedule it for less than a month later. I naively bought tickets for the rescheduled date not expecting it to get cancelled again. I've learned my lesson. The shows that actually did happen this year were all awesome though. 2-4 switch depending on my mood.
