shoesgetcold3 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 #1 Jeff Mangum in Toronto. I wrote about my experience somewhere on this site, but lets just say I still have goosebumps thinking about that night. Seeing him next month in Chicago will be my #1 show of 2012 as well. Honorable mention:Andrew Bird at MCA with Ian Schneller's amazing speakers. Small and intimate yet big sound with about 75 speakers and the high ceilings of the MCA atrium Mavis set at Hideout Block Party. Her last show for awhile and she had the place on fire Head and the Heart at Hideout. It was my third time seeing them over the summer, the first 2 almost by accident as the opener for Iron and Wine and Decemberists. I got the feel this band was already too big for the venue Arcade Fire at UIC pavillion. I just love The Suburbs and feel every tour they do where new music is added is better than the one before. Tuneyards set at Pitchfork: Just an amazing performance that won me over as a Merrill fan for life. She is so talented that I am in for anything she does in the future Wilco Riv: After the personally terribly disappointing Madison show, my faith was restored and my love renewed. Yo La Tengo at Green Music Fest in Wicker Park: Seeing them for $5 where my dog usually chases a ball was almost as awesome for me as for the alderman who introduced them.
