BanRAB that got a 1 or weren't deserving of a rating:
Dave Matthews Band
Jack Johnson
Nickelback

and that's all I can think of at the moment
 
Stevie Ray Vaughan *is jealous*

Biggest disappointment was Bob Dylan.
Probably due to the venue. Manchester Evening News Arena last year.
I was sat on the second tier at the back and the acoustics of the place were crap to say the least.
And it cost me a small fortune. :(
 
I lucked out and got to see him with Deerhunter at a free all-ages show in Brooklyn. I don't think I had my ID yet at the time too, so I might as well have been 17.
 
1. Rufus Wainwright tied with Kanye West
2. The New York Dolls
3. Elton John
4. Scissor Sisters
5. Polyphonic Spree


That's Just My Top Five. After that, I would have to take hours to figure it out.
 
There are some other opening banRAB ect. that I have forgotten the names of, but this is the jist of it.

Radiohead- Best concert I've ever been to the experience was unbelievable 10
Arcade Fire- 2nd Best, Crowd was awesome 9
Coldplay- Pretty good, Chris Martin was a bit weird though 8
The Shins- Pretty Good as well nothing amazing 6
Interpol- Awesomeness 8
 
Bruce Springsteen
Billy Joel
Rush

All were great. Billy Joel was the only one I wasn't sure if I wanted to see, I went and was surprised how good of a show he put on.
 
I've seen them about 7 times and each time the show starts off great but then somewhere I guess they fall a part.

Also to add to the list

Alexisonfire (7)
Senses Fail (7)
 
Hey guys, no intro, straight to bizness, ya'll. =/ Here are my favorites, no order:

Motorhead
Heaven And Hell
Judas Priest
Testament
Bob Dylan
P Funk
Ozzfest '05 (no egg throwing)

That's all I can recall, where I really remeraber the show.
 
of Montreal-10
They had balloons on sticks filled with glitter being popped over the audience. Need I say more? I get to see them again October 30, Im pumped.

MGMT-3
opened for of Montreal when I saw them. The sound was awful, they somehow managed to sound like a bad Sonic Youth cover band, which is hilarious if you're familiar with their studio output.

No Age-9
Put on a really intense show, lots of energy, these guys are great.


Abe Vigoda-8
Played with No Age, didnt know them before the show, but I really liked it.


Deerhunter-9
I first heard "Nothing Ever Happened" outside the venue (it was outdoors) played for their warmup. It gave me goosebumps. And then in the middle of their set some aging hipster told them they were boring and that they sounded like an REM cover band. I was pissed.


Black Lips-7
They were real energetic, but Im just not into their music. If I actually liked them they could have gotten a 9.


King Khan & the Shrines-10
If you ever get the chance, this guy puts on the best live show ever. They sound like punk rock James Brown, and the whole time he was exposing himself and others, recruting hobos with roller skates and american flags for capes to throw bananas at the audience, and overall, just being the best frontman Ive ever seen live. Meanwhile the keyboardist looks like hes withdrawing from opiates on stage, and throwing his disgusting shoes around. Fucking awesome.
