Best show you've ever seen at the 9:30 club

[eltee]

I didn't Prince when he played the new club, but I hear comments from time to time from people who really enjoyed that show.

So many good shows....... But they are all a blur for me now.
 
 
 I guess the two Joe Strummer and Robbie Williams shows both stood out.
 
 But not to bring negativity, but 2 people brought up fatboy slim. I thought that was the biggest waste of $40 ever. Why did you enjoy it so? The chemical brothers and basement Jaxx really showed how that kind of show should be done, all for half the ticket price.
 
 Actually those two were great memorable shows.

1/2 the Basement Jaxx show was great, the half with the diva-like singers sucked.
 
 Fatboy was one I liked, but not top because that is what I expected it to be.  He is a DJ, so that is what I expected (Though it was more with DJ in the round and the video screen).  I think with your different expectations (looking for a band) you got hosed.  Just remember the telephone call at the start of Rockefeller Skank.

Well I liked the diva like singaz most of all, well their crazy outfits.
 
 I dont remember the phonecall. I think I have tried to block out fatboy slim. Are the chemical brothers not DJs?

Please, don't bring up that show...it's taken me a couple of years of therapy to get over that $40 pile of dog-poo.

I am really bummed I didn't boot that show.  It was great.

Definitely Sigur Ros second show this year.  I was also pleasantly surprised with Polyphonic Spree this year and Cornelius last year.  I guess I had come in thinking that I would not be impressed but was blown away.

  Aphex Twin
  Death In Vegas
  Sneaker Pimps   98 i think

I don't see that many shows at the 9:30 Club, but the best had to be:
 
 JC
 Steve Earle on his first electric tour after getting out of jail
 Wilco on their first tour (old club)
 Wilco with Old 97's supporting
