first:
red hot chili peppers and foo fighters @ target center in minneapolis, 2000

best:
morrissey @ aragon ballroom in chicago, 2006

worst:
deerhoof @ walker art center in minneapolis, 2007 the band were great but i was stuck standing in the balcony and could not see AT ALL and there were a lot of old people there who didn't know what was going on. i'm assuming a bunch of snobby members of the walker just came to go to some sort of event. a lot of them walked out.

last:
i think maybe the national at first avenue
