[destroyerjazz]

too many to count.
is your hearing gone? if not, you lied about seeing lightning bolt 3 times.

[elvrum]

My hearing is still pretty good, actually. I've been wearing ear plugs to the heavier ones for the last couple of months.

And yes. I've seen Lightning Bolt three times. Once in ATP, once in Glasgow, and once in Aberdeen where the amp actually when on fire. Right at the front of the circle for all of them as well. Toilet paper in the ears works a treat.

[spacedudesteve]

ive lost count of all the gigs ive been to in the last few years, but my favourites were probably arcade fire (x2), eits (x2), interpol in new york was amazing, pixies etc etc. saw arab strap on sunday and it was a quality gig

yeah, i couldn't even begin to name them all. i mean i guess i could, but that would take too long and sounds miserable. i think the show i've enjoyed the most was mono/pelican back in may.

[lovelymetaphors]

Sadly not too many...they were all fantastic though.

Michelle Branch (x2)
Sara Evans
America
Grand Funk Railroad
Explosions in the Sky (x3)
The Decemberists
Death Cab
Indigo Girls
Rachel's
Lichens
Eisley
The Drift
Stars
Eluvium
Imogen Heap

Once I move I'm going to be to loads more shows. I really hate being in the AV.

[snoolli]

Well, I guess I could pick out one of my favorites...

Neurosis (In London).
Symmetry. (Bristol).
Isis. (Iceland).
Sigur Rós (For free at a little pub here in Iceland, before they got known universally).
Coldplay (The second time I saw them, -in London).
The Dillinger Escape Plan (Hollywood, L.A.).
Hella (Hollywood, L.A.).
Converge (Iceland).
Funeral Diner (Iceland).

...
