Haven't been to too many Black Cat shows but the one that stands out for mutual band/crowd energy would be Ash earlier this year

I dont know why, but these are easy to remember than the 930..... Perhaps just because I have been to fewer shows there.

I love the 9:30, but I have more fond memories at the Black Cat, I have seen way more shows there I think, and the Delgados and Cinerama (2nd show) would be a couple of my favorites as well.

 Both are old Black Cat.  I feel like it's been a while since I've been dazzled, though New Pornographers was really good.

Wow, what a show.  Somehow I missed it (though at the time I didn't know P.B.).  Saw the Posies at the old Black Cat -- loved it, but Jon Auer pissed the shit out of me.
 
 And Sloan as well....I should have been reading this board back then.  I've been into Sloan for a couple years, and they've only played 9:30 Club since.

Only been in DC for a year now, and only been to like 5 shows at Black Cat.  That said, I'd go with Cursive.

The only logical thing I could think of while watching The Cows play were literally cows grazing in a field with their utters swinging back and forth.  That band was crazy as hell.

The Friday night show of Frank Black and the Catholics on their latest fall tour, absolutely the most ROCK show I've seen him put on, and I've seen him 12 times. Second is the Drive-by Truckers.

Cursive - all three shows this year have been great, but this last one with the Blood Brothers was the best.
 Also - New Pornographers, Ted Leo, Neko Case.

I would have to choose between Ballboy and Spider Stacy (this will sound like if I was a 15 year old fan, but what made it even greater was that I was able to talk with Spider Stacy for a few minutes after the show and he didn't seem like thinking "oh well, another boring Pogues fan that will tell me how good the Pogues were").

Old Location: At The Drive -In with the Murder City Devils, Les Savy Fav and Sunshine in October 2000.
 ATDI was mind blowing and the Devils set their drum set on fire.  So money.
 
 New Location: The Burning Brides with J Mascis featuring Mike Watt and Ron Ashton of the Stooges.  First hour of J's set all J and Dinosaur jr. songs, second hour all Stooges songs.  And any Brides show kills it for me.
