First concert: Cheap Trick on their Live At Budokan tour in '78.
Last: Probably The Hu
Best: Hard to pick. Keith Richards on his solo tour was absolutely amazing. So was Tom Waits. And the first time I saw White Zombie they were fantastic. (Subsequent shows were much lower energy - they spent about two years touring non-stop and it really started to show.)
Worst: Probably Sisters of Mercy. I've seen them three times, first time they were great, second time they were OK, third time they were very much phoning it in. Also technically kind of awful, I got the impression Eldritch cheaped out on his backup band. Haven't gone to a show since.
Loudest: A hair metal band called Salty Dog played in Kitchener back when I was in University. I went with my ex who was a fan and I had to leave the building because the volume was genuinely painful. I sat in a Pizza Hut across the street and waited for him to finish and I could still hear every note.
Seen the most: Definitely Iggy Pop. I have seen that man naked more often than some of my exes.
Most surprising: Hrm. I'm going to say Nick Cave. I'm not a huge fan of the music, but the Axe dragged me to a show and he blew the top of my head off.
Next: Ha! Who the fuck knows. I'd love to see Bloodywood or Asian Dub Foundation if they ever come to Canada.
