Magnetized Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 http://www.pastemaga...ts-of-2012.html Jack White is #1, Wilco is #25. Having seen both, I'd say Wilco wuz robbed. . . . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 yeah the Lumineers are better than Neil Young/Crazy Horse. that makes sense. Shakes #2? none of these fuckers go see the right bands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radiowilco Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Grrr... Paste never seems to get anything right! Wilco(25), Radiohead(22), David Byrne & St. Vincent(20), and Neil & Crazy Horse(17) were among the VERY best shows I saw in 2012. I have seen both the Alabama Shakes (fun, but not anywhere near the bands mentioned above) and The Lumineers (really???) in the past year as well. That said, I am seeing Titus Andronicus tomorrow night and if this show is even close to the one I saw a year or so ago -- it will be GREAT evening of live music.

bleedorange Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 It's the most wonderful time of the year... ...when everyone starts bitching about how somebody's end-of-year list is wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bleedorange Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 let's see yours....release the hounds!I got tired of having to drive to Dallas, so I don't see too many shows anymore. Although I am going to see the Vocal Majority's Christmas show in a couple of weeks. So that will probably be my #1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I think they made a little error: Vintage Trouble, who I saw open for The Who in Orlando, was supposed to be #25, and Wilco was supposed to be #5. If that wasn't an error, this list is all sorts of f-ed up... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Love to see Justin Townes Earle on there, but a Best Live Act list without Dr. Dog has no credibility. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Grrr... Paste never seems to get anything right!ic.No doubt. Alabama Shakes, who were fun to see, but c'mon. So much higher up than Wilco? I just looked at Paste' list of top 20 tv shows of the year. Any such list that does not include Treme is immediately suspect in my book.

Magnetized Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 Yeah, it's a total bullshit list. I probably shouldn't have even posted the link--it just showed up on my Facebook page because I like Jack White, and then I wanted to see where Wilco was on the list. Let's just pretend it never happened. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sonicshoulder Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Anyone who's seen My Morning Jacket knows that on the way out of the show your saying "what the hell just happened in there?'(in a good way). Their live shows are notorious, zero credibility for Paste. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I agree that MMJ puts on a hell of a show, but I think it depends on the venue.. This is probably the same for any band, but I miss the days of when they played smaller places, Wilco size places. I saw then in a large outdoor amphitheater in Atlanta for the first time. Maybe it was the crappy sound quality, maybe it was the drunk douchebags talking and walking up and down the isles the whole show, but I left the show pretty disappointed...

jff Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I'm surprised Fiona Apple didn't make the list. If I hadn't seen her, I never would have believed how good she and her band are in concert. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I'm surprised Fiona Apple didn't make the list. If I hadn't seen her, I never would have believed how good she and her band are in concert. Interesting. I saw her once and it was just about one of the worst things I'd heard at a live show. Maybe an off night? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Interesting. I saw her once and it was just about one of the worst things I'd heard at a live show. Maybe an off night? Possibly an entirely different band. Trust me, the band she has right now kills. I was not expecting it to be all that good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JMal Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Prince is #24. Do we need to say anything else to prove this is way off?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 yeah since he never plays live really at all anymore. might as well put Bowie Spiders-era or Black Flag on the list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 yeah since he never plays live really at all anymore. might as well put Bowie Spiders-era or Black Flag on the list.Didn't Prince do a bunch of shows this year, not a tour but extended runs in some cities? I remember reading great things about the shows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Prince has played 17 shows this year: 2 in Oct at LA clubs3 in Chicago at the big arena (I live in CHI and the first show was reported by many many people to be terrible, but the others to be great)12 shows in Australia I agree - not sure why he is on this list Quote Link to post Share on other sites
