maybe there has been a post like this before, but I'm a noob. Your favorite concerts. To be more specific, favorite opening act and headliner combo. Some of mine are fuzzy, but they'll come back w/out some bored member jogging perhaps.

Sixteen Deluxe/Flaming Lips - Liberty Lunch (RIP)...(16 would have been a good bad if not for junkie lead singer. badass guitarist.)

Fuckemos/Melvins - private show at Electric Lounge - middle of summer in a hot ass club, couldn't breathe, but they rocked. Weird gypsy pupppet show in abandoned train car outside.

Super Furry Animals/The Grifters at Electric Lounge

Spiritualized/Siouxsie and the Banshees - odd combo. Spirit had some weird pink, blue, and purple strobe panels that made you go fetal if you stared at the too long.

let's see...

grifters/black heart procession somewhere in portland, oregon

petra haden/mike watt and the black gang crew somewhere in santa monica

stinking lizaveta/fluf at the casbah in san diego

my morning jacket/doves at the aztec in los angeles

there's a bunch more but i'm brain-dead...

my bloody valentine/dinosaur jr. - houston
gumball/mercury rev/dinosaur jr. - houston

Molotov/Café Tacvba

Totimoshi/Valient Thorr/Riverboat Gamblers
at the Triple Rock in Minneapolis

I got bashed in the face by a bass at that show. The bass player was very apologetic.

The Loved Ones/The Hold Steady
at the Majestic in Madison

Sonic Boom/FM Einheit w/ Caspar Brotzmann in a club the size of a Port-A-Toilet. Smelled like one too. Lots of grinder sparks that pussies wouldn't get near.

Modest Mouse/Death Cab/The Walkmen at an outdoor festival
Dismemberment Plan/French Kicks at the Metro
David Bowie/Nine Inch Nails/Prick at the world
Get Up Kids/At the Drive In at the Metro

dismemberment plan/french kicks at the metro
modest mouse/death cab/the walkmen at a festival
david bowie/nine inch nails/prick at the world
get up kids/at the drive in at the metro

oh and of course, pantera when they opened for slayer. that hurt. in a good way.

Radiohead/Beck/Deerhoof - Meadowbank Stadium, Edinburgh.

If anyone discovers a better lineup than that, please give me a shout.

I've also enjoyed:

Arcade Fire/Patrick Wolf - Barrowlands, Glasgow.
St.Vincent/The National - ABC, Glasgow

Though admittadly, neither of those lineups exactly win life itself.

Frank Marino/Ted Nugent

S.O.B/Carcass/Napalm Death - Salisbury Arts Centre 1990

Susan Tedeschi/Neil Young

Roo

The Men Of PORN/Big Business/Melvins (would've been Flipper too but they didn't show ) in this tiny venue in Cardiff.

Daniel Johnston/Jad Fair/James McNew/Scout Niblett/Mark Linkous

White Stripes/Queens Of The Stone Age/Satellite Party (who were only good because of the few Jane's Addiction songs they played)

Motorhead/Anthrax

And this was the best:

Pegi Young/Neil Young acoustic solo set/Neil Young electric band set

Converge/Mastodon

Fuck yes.

Phil Lesh and Friends (w/ Warren Haynes)-Allman Bros.
Warren Haynes Band-Allman Bros. (Warren played full sets with both bands!)
Porter Waggoner w/Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives (PW's last show EVER!)-Grinderman (2nd US show ever)-White Stripes @ MSG
Krokus-Sammy Hagar (1983!)
Dokken-Dio (1983!)
Govt. Mule-Black Crowes

Damn! I sound like a meathead.

Sebadoh/Sparkalepsy
Mike Johnson (Dino, Jr.) acoustic set+electric / Juned (his wife's band; they played in each others bands; nice)
Pearl Jam/Soundgarden/Swervedriver/Kyuss

Cinderella and Slaughter - 1991 Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver. (ok, maybe not)...

Radiohead/ Spiritualized 1995 Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver

Neil Young/ Pearl Jam/ Blind Melon - 1993, BC Place, Vancouver

Lollopalooza 92 had a great lineup - Thunderbird Stadium, Vancouver
