1. Beastie Boys - Ill Communication Tour at Max Bell. I was 16 at the time and worked selling t-shirts at concerts. At max bell the t-shirt stand was right in the arena so I got to watch the whole show with a birds eye view. Just an awesome gig and one of the first large concerts I ever went to.

2. Fact to Face - Re-reunion tour at Flames Central. Flames Central has to be one of my favorite small venues to see a band at. Acoustics are good and the view is great from just about anywhere. They played a great set-list and had been split up for years so was nice to see them back together.

3. Foo Fighters - Wasting light tour at the Saddledome. Dave Grohl is amazing live and I can't believe this was the first time I've seen the foo. Such a great stage presence, worth every cent.

4. Strung Out, Headstones, Chixdiggit - Snow Jam 2002 at Millenium Park. I loved the snow jam series. The one on the steps of the municipal building ranks up there in my favorite band list but this one overshadowed it simply because we hung out with Strung Out after the show on their bus and then at the Back Alley. Crazy night with a bunch of awesome guys who love to party.

5. Ten Foot Pole - At the Stetson. I always love seeing bands play small, intimate shows like this. Lead singer, Dennis, was on the dance floor with the mic belting out lyrics. Really fun show.
