I'm showing my age here, but I'll start. It was Grateful Dead, August 27, 1972. Renaissance Fairgrounds in Veneta Oregon.

Naked pole guy, is that you?

Seriously though, that show is legendary, arguably the greatest moment in Grateful Dead history. It’s literally my musical ‘if I had a time machine’ answer. I’ve never seen anyone claim to have been in attendance. Very cool.

Best: NIN "Lights in the Sky Tour"
- this was absolutely stunning to experience. You can find the full video online, but really it doesn't do justice to what it was like to actually be there


Most fun though?: Ned's Atomic Dustbin at Tips back in '95/'96
- the energy here was absolutely insane. It was a high energy pit, and this is not a thrash band by any means. There was just something wild and fun about this show.

Second most fun show: Nitzer Ebb at HOB the same year. They were such a fun band to experience
