Sir Paul Fab Macca Wacky Thumbs Aloft
Running through my head every time they showed a close-up on the big screens: "Do we have a picture of Angela Lansbury?"

Earth III
A song performed by the Super Furrys that required the audience to wiggle their hands above their heads. For acoustic reasons, natch.
Super Furry Animals
God, I love this band. Stonking concert last night, which bounced all over their albums.
A handy example of how cellphone cameras have improved over the last four years.

Arctic Monkeys, Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel
Stonking, *stonking* concert tonight. If you've only heard the Arctic Monkeys on record, you owe it to yourself to experience them live.

Young@Heart Chorus
The CD release party for the Young@Heart Chorus, a group of folks in their 70s, 80s and 90s who cover rock songs like "You Can't Always Get What You Want", "Dancing in the Dark" and a great medley of "Staying Alive" and "I Will Survive".
It could have been a cheap joke, but it was an incredible and inspiring show. If you ever get a chance to see them live, run don't walk!

Massive Attack, Boston Orpheum, Sunday 9:14 pm 10/1/06
The light show was really quite stunning, but of course, looks like ass on my cameraphone. Their use of scrolling ticker displays reminded me somewhat of the Blue Man Group!

Pyrotechnics Wednesday 10:59 pm 9/20/06
The grand finale for the Stones gig, ending at 11pm precisely.
Truly rock'n'roll at its most punctual.

Puffy AmiYumi, Wednesday 10:10 pm 7/12/06 Boston, Massachusetts
The Puffy AmiYumi Splurge! Splurge! Splurge! tour. They read their on-stage banter off of notebooks. "Thank you. You guys... are.. the.. best?" It only sounded 5% more scripted than when native English-speaking bands do it..

Morningwood, Sunday 11:08 pm 6/25/06 Boston, Massachusetts
The lead singer, Chantel, has a helluva lot of energy in her. Especially considering they've cancelled the next four dates in the tour because she's sprained her leg.
Morningwood Sunday 10:56 pm 6/25/06 Boston, Massachusetts
Chantel getting the crowd to crouch during "nth Degree". As I took this photo, she was admonishing the Axis security, and telling them to crouch too.
