    I can’t say that’s there’s one best. The location and people you’re with, the set list, so many factors contribute.

    I saw LCD Soundsystem a few months ago in Seattle and it was amazing. Just hands down one of my favourite shows. The venue and energy were crazy, I kept stopping dancing and looking up and around at everyone.

    I’ve been a big Phish fan since the 90s so there’s quite a few in that time span, notably Hampton Coliseum (was turned into a box set, Hampton comes alive), MSG last summer, Nashville in 99

    When I was a teenager the local radio station ran a festival at RFK stadium in DC for years. The HFS Festival was an insane amount of headline bands packed into a day. Violent Femmes, Blondie, Prodigy, Ramones, Pavement, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Afgan Whigs, Primus, Garbage, Rollins Band, Beck… so so many over the years I went. And it’s back this year!! I’m trying to figure out how to fly back across the continent to go.

    There was a small party on the west coast of Vancouver island that ran for ten years back in the aughts. I went to every one minus the first and last and it was my happy place. Wandering through the trees, getting lost in tide pools, so many people you know and love. And the music was top notch. Saw The Orb, Noze, and my friends (which are my fav to see).
