The very very fine woman I live with is taking me out to see Coldplay at Philips Arena tonight, certainly the most overpriced concert I will have ever attended. In any case it caps off quite a year of concert going for myself, despite not attending any music festivals (first year in a long time that's happened!)...
The New Pornographers w/Neko Case
Man Man
Explosions in the Sky
Radiohead
R.E.M.
Modest Mouse
The National
Bruce Springsteen
My Morning Jacket
TV on the Radio
Coldplay
And next year... Phish??
*Morning after update: Damn good show, not a huge Coldplay fan, but definitely enjoyed myself, and was very impressed with the huge production they pulled off. Between running through the crowd and up to a section the back to play two songs, or the cool orbs hanging from the ceiling with insanely well produced video projected on them, the neon confetti, or the song dedication to 'joe the plumber', very solid show all around.
Let's add Band of Horses to this list before the end of the year.
