jff Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I saw them the last time they toured together. Spectacular. Me too. My friend and I snuck in a camcorder which we wrapped in a plastic bag and placed on the bottom of a cooler (the venue allowed coolers). We videotaped the whole show and security didn't seem to care.

chanman1128 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I am only 21, so most of these are contemporary: Ween (8 times...unreal every time) Wilco (4 times..one of my all time favorite concerts was in Portland Maine a couple years ago...changed my life...they need to go back there..i think it was merrill auditorium or something, real nice place) Built To Spill (only twice...one of the times was on the PFNO tour, one of my fav cds.) Dr. Dog (seen once, going to be twice in Boston, saw them at the Iron Horse...so fun...so much energy) Neil Young in Worcester...overall great night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
