Title: top 10 concerts of 2002
Post by: bearman🐻 on December 17, 2002, 11:33:00 am: I'm going over the best concerts I've seen all year, and this is my top 10 list:1) Sonic Youth @ Valle Giulia, Rome 2) Queens of the Stone @ 9:30 (w/Dave Grohl) 3) Belle and Sebastian w/Sleater Kinney @ Constitution Hall 4) Bob Mould @ North Star, Philly 5) Social Distortion @ House of Blues, Chicago 6) Interpol @ 9:30 7) Chemical Brothers @ Nation 8) Rolling Stones @ FedEx Fieldguilty pleasures: 9) No Doubt w/the Faint @ Smith Center (hate to say, this show really rocked...it was a lot of fun) 10) Goo Goo Dolls @ Riviera, Chicago (I know what most folks think of them, but I know these guys and it was a really fun show...I got to hear some stuff from "Superstar Car Wash" and that made my day)

Title: Re: top 10 concerts of 2002
Post by: bearman🐻 on December 17, 2002, 04:03:00 pm: I saw the American Analog Set w/Her Space Holiday as well...that was a good show, too. The other show I did enjoy a lot was the Damned. It was just too bad that the show had to be at Nation. The 9:30 or Black Cat would have probably made me include it in my top 10.

Title: Re: top 10 concerts of 2002
Post by: bearman🐻 on December 17, 2002, 04:26:00 pm: I went to No Doubt just to check them out. I get free tickets to some shows, and I had the same reaction with them that I had after I saw Springsteen...I don't own any of their stuff, but was surprised that I actually enjoyed the performance. You may not be a fan initially, but it's hard to deny that some bands are solid and they give it their best. I saw the Rolling Stones for free and it was the same thing...I felt like I was seeing legends, and I went in with few expectations and was surprised at how much I enjoyed the concert. Some musicians just love what they do, and it translates in the performance. It makes it enjoyable for the people at the show. What I enjoyed about the No Doubt show was that it was a bunch of different ages and races, everyone was there to have fun, and the band made it an enjoyable experience. Same with the Goo Goo Dolls, but I know they're good people that work really hard and deserve the success they have. You may argue that they suck, but it's a matter of taste. I've learned a lot about the music business through them and I'm so glad I don't work in it. It's an awful time to be a musician and if you actually have talent, it doesn't matter...it's all about how you are marketed and how you can sell your image to the masses. Some musicians are good businessmen, but in general it's a really bad time for the industry. That's part of the reason why music sucks so bad right now.

Title: Re: top 10 concerts of 2002
Post by: bearman🐻 on December 17, 2002, 04:54:00 pm: The flipside of course are the bands where I love their music and thought their live performance sucked rhino. The Cocteau Twins were great one time, and the next time they were abysmal. The Psychedelic Furs were just god awful, too. 808 State, the Jesus and Mary Chain, Pere Ubu, Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth...I've seen them all on good nights and then on other nights maybe they did bad acid or something. Sometimes a bad band can have a good night, too. When I worked at the 9:30, I saw it happen on occasion.

Post by: paige on December 17, 2002, 05:16:00 pm: i can't think of 10 right now. but i will agree that the no doubt/faint show was really fun. dancing around new wave with the most random people was great. that was the 2nd time ive seen ND and i think that both times they delivered a great performance - i guess it just depends on who you talk to.a few favorites though - QOTSA at 930 Rufus wainwright at 930 Pretty Girls Make Graves at black cat Ryan Adams at Electric Factory in philly yeah i can't remember any more..

Post by: ggw on December 18, 2002, 09:55:00 pm: I remembered three more I want to add to my list:Foo Fighters -- Electric Factory Sonic Youth -- 9:30 Burning Brides -- Black Cat Worst shows of the year.............the crappy saccharine pop of OKGO and the trainwreck known as The Vines at 9:30. Also, Chris Whitley at iota. He was so far gone on something (smack, I presume) that he couldn't play his guitar. So the guitar tech played while Whitley mumbled incoherent, delusional, extemporaneous lyrics into the mic. It was sad, truly sad.

How was the show?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Seeing The Music was actually one of the high points of CMJ for me. I dig their album and EPs quite a bit and had a strong suspicion that their songs would actually translate better in a live setting, but they still completely surpassed my expectations. For a band that young, they are incredibly powerful and equally tight, easily living up to all the hype they've been receiving in the UK. I think I heard maybe one single questionable moment in the entire set and that was all the way at the end during one of their hyperactive buildups. And frankly, the tempo was careening out of control so much at that point, I had trouble following what was going on myself. Anyway, I am with you on hoping they come to DC soon. If I remember correctly, a piece of promotional material I picked up said they were touring the US around January opening for Coldplay (a somewhat strange combination if you ask me). Now it's just a matter of whether or not they'll stop off here. I could definitely stand to hear 'The People' again live.
