Big show: The Rolling Stones 2005-09-03 @ Magnetic Hill, Moncton, NB (I expected it to be a bit of a joke, it BLEW AWAY my expectations and every other show I saw this year)

I had the exact same opinion going into the show. But even from hundreds of feet away I felt the magic.

1 - Mung - Phish after-show party (sure, it was 2004, but it was that historic)

2 - Mike Flipoallhisswitches - Bouche's basement

3 - Jimmy and his Butlers - Myrna's basement

Edit to add: I hadnt seen DaveyBoy's post, hence the unoriginality of this one.

too many good shows to recall so i'm just gonna list a bunch of good ones, screw this 'top 3' jive.

Do Make Say Think - Bluesfest

Coachella - Sloan, MIA, Arcade Fire, The Faint, NIN, Fantomas, Chemical Brothers, Fiery Furnaces, Boom Bip, Sage Francis, Bloc Party

Bonnaroo - Saul Williams, Mars Volta, Black Fuckin Crowes, Ozomatli

Buck 65 - 4 sets at Hillside

Deadly Snakes - Zaphods

Wilco / MMJ - Metropolis

Broken Social Scene - Capital, Hillside, Bluesfest in that order

That's a lot. Sorry. Good thing I can't remember anything before June or it would have been longer.

Excellent year for bands for me. I've probably forgotten more good music this year than I've seen in years past.
