(Tie) F*cked Up! / Ponytail Pitchfork – Not quite sure how I picked either of these to go to, but they were both a wild ride. Goodbye U2, I loved you once unconditionally.īest show of bands whose music I would NEVER listen to: At the same time, I realized that I probably don’t need to fork over wads of cash to wait until halfway through the concert to hear my favorite songs. U2 Soldier Field – I was excited to go to my third U2 show, the North American tour opener this year, and FINALLY to a stadium show of theirs (Mom wouldn’t let me go to Autzen Stadium in 1997). Their stage show is phenomenal and I don’t know why I’d only been a casual fan prior to seeing them live.īest show of a band I probably won’t see again unless someone gives me tickets: Yeah Yeah Yeahs Lollapalooza – Maybe because Karen O and the gang played The Rave last time they came through Milwaukee I’d been unfairly hating. I can’t wait to hopefully see them in a non-festival setting, as I think a dark, sweaty club would be far superior.īest show I probably wouldn’t have seen if the band weren’t a headliner: Hopefully LC! will (pretty please) give Milwaukee another go-round.īest show I would probably have skipped if not for the strong recommendation:īlack Joe Lewis & The Honeybears Lollapalooza – Thanks Craig for insisting I get to the festival early to catch them. Very disappointed that just a handful of folks made it out to this energetic Friday night show. Los Campesinos! Turner Hall Ballroom – I’d been waiting for this band to pop through here ever since I’d first heard them a few years back. Each year this list gets more and more difficult for me to make.īest show I wish more people had been at: I am so grateful for the Pabst/Riverside/Turner Hall group for continuing to bring amazing bands to Milwaukee. I've once again been fortunate enough to see more shows in a year than many people see in their lifetime.
