Mine was We Are Scientists…plain boring, uninspired, tedious, you name it.
Worst show you've seen so far this year?
The one I enjoyed the least was probably the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. It was OK, but nothing special.
Hard-Fi
Absolutely terrible.

i agree with We Are Scientists. just not much there.
the Stills were pretty "still" as well.
although, i did attend the Black Eyed Peas concert……

Rob Thomas last night or H.I.M. at the 9:30 last fall.
My first concert will be in a couple of weeks, so it will be the best and worst show of the year so far. :confused:

i like how the 930 email list couldn't even give a wholehearted endorsement of matchbox 20 man
Animal Collective @ the Black Cat - 3/23/06
the WORST show that i've been to in awhile. great studio band, absolutely horrific live

Defintely Belle and Sebastian in NYC. What a boring show. But NYC was cool. Oh wait. New Pornographers opened, and they were much, much worse.
Best show I've been to this year: Neko Case, with Dwight Yoakam coming in second.

I left Pearl Jam underwhelmed, but it wasn't a bad show at all. I guess that counts?
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! @ 930 was more like Crap Your Hands Say Yeah.
A 45 minute set of just horribleness.

The Clappers show at The 9:30 was kind of a letdown after seeing them the previous Fall at the BC and 8x10.
I also was expecting much more from The Go! Team when I saw them at the BC. They needed more brass and muscle behind their songs.
Also, I love Evan Dando and understand that he's hit or miss live…but he missed at the BC earlier this year.
For me, this year's big winners have been:
- The B&S shows at the 9:30
- Art Brut at the BC

- The Lashes at SxSW
- Georgie James at Black Cat – which wasn't even a bad show, just the worst I've seen. I've been to fewer shows this year, less 'testing bands out at their show', so that may be why I haven't been to a bad show this year.
I'm a little over Metric, but that's 'cuz I've seen them so often. And Yeah Yeah Yeahs was just so so.

of montreal and their white rap openers
Coldplay, and only because they play ridiculously short sets.

Definitely the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
best show i've seen so far is definetly the lifetime show at the court tavern in jersey.
right up there is the B&S show at 930.
worst show? having to sit through circa survive 2 nights in a row so i could enjoy saves the day.

Well, that band Lifetime is a lot like that. We all kinda got tricked into thinking they were sorta ok way back there somewhere in the 90â??s. Somehow they would always end up on a mix tape some cute chick made you with a bunch of other bands that actually were coolâ?¦ like Jawbreaker and Sunny Day Real Estateâ?¦ and you were smoke-screened of their actual wackness cos they sounded sorta ok in between the good bands, and you couldnâ??t exactly put your finger on what was lame untilâ?¦â?¦ they reform years later, and fuckinâ?? FALLOUT BOY signs them to their record label. Ahhhhâ?¦ thatâ??s riiiiiightâ?¦ Lifetime always sucked. Itâ??s all so clear now.
