5 (or less) Mindblowing gigs
Let's hear about them. WITH SMALL EXPLANATIONS TO AVOID THIS BECOMING ANOTHER SHITE LIST THREAD.
Meat Puppets last week: Just incredible. There were points when the Kirkwood brothers were into it so much that they just started hitting their guitars instead of playing them. And it still sounded amazing!
Melvins 2003: Blew my mind because they were soundtracking an amazing film in a cinema! Not to mention it was arsequakingly loud and heavy. Also they ran really fast down the stairs to their gear and Kevin downed a can of red bull and threw it across the room mid song. You remember the little things sometimes like.
Chris Corsano solo show in Manchester, 2006: Sitting right in front of an absolute master making the most incredible music with a drum kit, various sticks etc and a tiny distorted casio. Playing them all at once. A couple of times the cymbals he was taking on and off the drums to make different sounds were thrown against the wall. He drums for Bjork now and you can barely hear him as part of her band.
Weezer at Leeds in 2002: Maybe not music-wise but it was the biggest crowd i've ever been part of that were all bouncing up and down as one. Like a sea of people! Come to think of it a similar thing happened at the Pixies with a smaller crowd and the music was actually really good then.
The Ex at Roskilde 2006: If only for the energy! Oh and their ability to make an entire tent full of previously half-asleep festivalgoers go dance crazy using only using drums and scraping noises.
I hope that was a little bit interesting.
