I've been listening to a lot of music lately so I decided to make a top5 of the concerts I've been to:
5. Phish at Toyota Park in Bridgeview 8/11/2009
This concert wasn't amazing by any means. First off, it took us 3 hours to get there sitting in bumper to bumper traffic. Our seats were pretty far back, and the song selection wasn't the greatest. But it was Phish. They are legendary. They did debut a new song "windy city", which is the song from this video. The light show was pretty cool, and the crowd was awesome. Also, they played "Harry Hood", my favorite Phish song.
4. Summer Camp Music Festival 2009
Summer camp is like no other place. There was no computers, cell phones, or tvs. Crazie hippies roamed the camping grounds, and there was a lot of awesome music. The best part was chilling in the middle of the forest. We had our tents set up in a little village called dickland where everyone was very friendly. The whole thing sounds kind of ridiculous, and it was (what else is in Chilicothe Illinois?). But everyone had fun for 3 showerless days, and Jeff Pearl repaid me for the sandwich incident from freshman year. JUICE
3. The Decemberists at Millenium Park July 18,2007
So this was the first real concert I had ever been to.
It was even more awesome because it was in the Millenium Park theater.
They played all of the good songs (oh valencia, 16 military wives were my favorites).
And afterwards it rained like a bitch and we got soaked walking to the train station.
2. Girl Talk New Years Eve Chicago 12/31/2009
I've been to 4 or 5 girl talk shows, but this was easily the best one.
Not only was the set awesome (a house that people were dancing in), but there was a ton of energy from the new years crowd.
Don't think I stopped dancing at any point during that concert.
1. Daft Punk Lollapalooza 2007
Look at the banner up top and this video.
No description necessary.
And for those of you who think electronic music sucks, screw you.
The lineups for this years festivals are awesome. LCD Soundsystem, Jayz, Gorillaz, Muse.... My good friends dp would say "musics got me feelin so free"
