Loading ...Same deal as before–we just stuck 20 or so shows to get this one started. Mostly we just went down the shows Sung covered in 2009. We’ll keep adding to the list. Feel free to stick your own picks in comments below and we’ll try to add them in the poll so you can vote the shit out of them. –Ed.
We Were Promised Jetpacks! at the the Knitting Factory.
Radiohead in Mexico City was my favorite show of 2009!
Mono @ El Rey
Phoenix @ Wiltern (way better than Greek), Friendly Fires @ Troubadour, Horrors @ El Rey (Sung was at this one), Winston Calling Benefit @ Echoplex w/members of Pixies, et al.
Girls @ The Troubadour
Leonard Cohen @ Nokia Theatre or Coachella
The Killers @ Hollywood Bowl
Grace Jones @ Hollywood Bowl
Second for Leonard Cohen at Nokia.
I vote that one show where Dave Navarro showed up to play and he wasn’t wearing a shirt
Please add:
Charlie Hunter @ Mint
ZZ Top @ House of Blues (featuring the ubiquitous Slash guest appearance)
Los Lobos @ Conga Room
U2 @ Rose Bowl
Decemberists @ Palladium
for now.
WTF? Pixies played the Troubadour?! FAIL that I missed that. =(
Good catch, Oscar! That should read Pixies @ PALLADIUM of course. Any of the 3 nights, I guess. Or if someone who went all 3 nights cares to make a compelling case for a difference between the 3 shows, we’ll add them all.
please add:
elbow @ wiltern
for now.
I’ve been to so many shows this year, it’s difficult. There are some more (and I agree with Elbow):
Depeche Mode @ Hollywood Bowl
Mogwai at Orpheum
NIN at Palladium and Fonda as well as Wiltern. They were all fantastic and different in their own ways.
Regina Spektor at El Rey; Regina Spektor at Greek.
flight of the conchords @ the greek
Depeche Mode @ Hollywood Bowl last August
Jarvis Cocker @ MHow, NYC (not at the Wiltern)- First time to see Jarvis but its the funnest show I’ve been too. It’s like attending a frat party.
