I think I only went to 10 concerts this year, I'm not really sure, but here are those I managed to remember, in chronological order:<BR>Nofx-Irving Plaza- not a big fan, but it was a fun night, we drank on the train and then drank while we walked through NY<P>bouncing souls- sahara- not a big fan, and the other bands were boring (pietasters i think, does that sound right?)<P>Superchunk-roseland ballroom- this was a fun show too, the get up kids played too, they were ok<P>breeders-bowery ballroom- i enjoyed this show, imperial teen were enjoyable as well<P>american analog set-knitting factory-this show was a little disappointing, her space holiday and the dears were pretty bad<P>warped tour- some good bands, some bad, movielife were good<P>-paul westerburg- the vanderbilt- good show, old crowd, i think i was the only one who could not drink<P>trail of dead-930 club- they were good<P>new found glory and friends - nation - not a big fan of the bands here, went for free, but ended up having a lot of fun<P>frank black-black cat- this was a good show<P>interpol- 930- this was a really good show, but i did not enjoy the other bands as much

As previously stated, I'm sure there were a few shows that I left out.  Trans Am at Ft. Reno were fantastic.  As were the Breeders at the Ottobar and Bragg at the 930!<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Dandy01:<BR><B>  that is the show that stands out to me the most as far as best shows for the year. <P>I also liked Trans Am at Fort Reno.<P>[This message has been edited by Dandy01 (edited 12-18-2002).]</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>
