Worst Live Shows/Openers of the Year!

[serpent boy]

Makin' Believe and New York weren't played. Great show, though. "Dreams," "Don't Explain" and "The Moon" --> "Ramblin' Woman" were my highlights. I loved her set tonight AND I thought she was phenomenal at Virgin Fest. You're all crazy.

I hated Ted Leo opening for Pearl Jam. Maybe it was the Verizon Center at fault, but he sounded awful.

Chuck Berry at Virgin Fest was such an abomination. I really want to block that from my memory.

Ambulance LTD is good live when the keyboard player can harmonize with Marcus.

I agree for ixkpd-bk for the most part; the only exception being that I didn't like "I Don't Blame You." And I definitely didn't hear "New York, New York" unless she played it completely beyond recognition. Second half was indeed brutal IMO. But a brand of brutality of a completely different form ended up saving the night. More on that in the "metal weekend rollcall" thread.

Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks

Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson - worst opener!

Other artists who wasted my time:

Cat Power, Chromeo, Saul Williams...all @ Lollapalooza
Andy Zipf opening for Mark Kozelek
Subtle opening for Black Moth Super Rainbow
Cale Parks opening for Ted Leo
Black Kids opening for Cut Copy   **NEW ADDITION**

andy zipf is kinda awesome bro. perfect opener for mark kozelek.  plus why moan about openers, its rare anyone goes to see them anyway.
