As I'm tasmazing and was, until Sunday, underage, my fav musical experiences are somewhat limited, but two notables are:

Franz Ferdinand playing 'Michael' at Falls last year - I came and thrashed around everywhere.

John Butler trio doing Sunrise Over Sea in like Grade 9 at Falls. bootyful.

Anybody, dust, no?
I love hearing about musical climaxes.

sigur ros ending their '07 (i think it was..?) show with untitled #8...this was my first concert ever too so yeh pretty special.

stereo total @ manning - dancing on stage to 'wir tanzen im 4-eck' in front of a bunch of dykes who were only there to see the opening act do a dj set

jens lekman doing 'a postcard to nina' in storyteller mode, like he always does live but still it was the cutest. everything about that concert was great actually

patrick wolf finishing off with 'lansend' at the basement show, great considering i had yelled this out earlier and i was really hanging for it

good topix

arcade fire at the enmore in 2008, starting with wake up and ending with rebellion, was pretty damn kewl

i also really enjoyed crystal castles at the metro, even though most people hated the teenyboppers and the ott bass throughout

Iron Maiden, From Churchill's speech to Hallowed be thy name it was awesome, Fear of the dark gave me goosebumps

I think Slayer and Megadeth might top it tomorrow night

The underageness has also afflicted me until recently. So only two stand out as completely utterly amazing.

Neil Young @ BDO 09. Dude is a legend. Hearing him sing A Day in the Life will hold me over until McCartney gets his ass over here.

The Flaming Lips @ Festival Hall. Awful venue, Wayne's vocals were off at the start and I will never get to hear the setlist that I would like (Circa Soft Bulletin tours). But it was The f***ing FLIPS! <3 <3 <3 <3

I hate you so much right now. You should be confined to Tasmania for a year in punishment of your luck.

The Hives are great. Except I got glowtsick in my eye.

I am so upset that Daft Punk probs won't tour again, that would be like experiencing multiple orgasms.
