Matt & Kim's concert is my favorite. I couldn't see them but the environment was super fun. I love being around crazy people listening to Matt & Kim's happy music. I can never get tired of seeing them live. Next time I go see them, I plan to go crowd surfing.

Justin Timberlake's FSLS concert was amazing too!!! Never a dull moment

No one has ever been so intoxicating to my ears with her singing as the lovely Sarah Blasko

Although Laura Marling came close

I've seen a lot of awesome bands. Some of the real standouts that spring to mind though..

Sigur Ros

Elbow

Massive Attack

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

The Dead Weather

Peter Gabriel puts on one hell of a show. "Sledgehammer" in particular was jaw-dropping.

Seen a lot of bands but I'll also have to go with Pink Floyd

Other recommendations are:

- Suzanne Vega

- Cat Stevens

- Leonard Cohen

- Eric Clapton

Thought they are all past their prime they still seem to sound very clear while singing their songs. Not much of a show but pure musically they are great live.

I saw Motorhead 2 years ago and they completely blew me away!! I've seen a lot of shows and that was the most fun I ever had at a show!!

When and where did you see Pink Floyd? I didn't think they had put together a real tour since like the mid-90s.

I saw Pink Floyd in July 1994 at Giants Stadium. Great show.
