| Haven't been to many but do enjoy them. H hates them as he hates big crowds so its normally having to coax a friend into going otherwise would go more. My all time favorite was Celine Dion, just amazing. A close second and don't judge is Justin Beiber, he is not only talented but put on a great show. |

I'll tell you which one was terrible - madonna in 2001. I wanted my money back.
As for best, I've enjoyed a lot of shows for many different reasons. Bon Jovi is always fun. Loved Huey Lewis out at Wolf Trap. I've seen NKOTB multiple times in the past 10 years-fun in a different way. I went with my parents a couple weeks ago to see Cyndi Lauper and Rod Stewart at Jiffy Lube- they still got it . And I actually enjoyed Shawn Mendes with my 10 year old.

| RHCP are fantastic. Even if you aren't a fan you realize you know almost every song they play. I noticed that even the Verizon center security grooves a little while they are watching the crowd. |
| Public Enemy at 9:30club about 6 years ago. It was the anniversay tour of Fear of a Black Planet. It was awesome. |
| Slayer, Marilyn Manson and Emily Autumn. |
Oh, and Social Distortion at 9:30. |

I've wanted to see Zac Brown Band but they always do stadium tours (which I refuse to go to as an adult). But next month they'll be at the Patriot Center and I'm going with 14 yr old DS (DH not into it).
Best concert experience for me was Springsteen at the Verizon Center. I'd love to see U2 at a small venue. |

Air and M83 are some of the best bands I've seen live. Fantastic chemistry, extremely tight, great energy.
Also, I've seen Tycho live a few times and their drummer is one of the best I've ever seen. I always thought that the drums on their albums were programmed drum machines....then I saw their drummer do it all live. Insanely complex syncopated drumming. I was blown away. I've seen videos of Muse concerts and they are, quite simply, amazing technical musicians. Will definitely catch them the next time they are in town. Bob Dylan sucked. Ugh. |
Social D is great. I love to sing along. Their songs are not that complex, but they have a good energy and fantastic feedback from the crowd. |
