Okay, so all of the Negative Nancies in this comment section are going to list a bunch of the gigantic shows that we've had. The Tragically Hip, KISS, whatever you all think are "classics." But why not list great shows put on by bands that not aren't necessarily the norm? If these big bands that you love are considered classic, shouldn't it go without saying that they're above and beyond whatever you think is the problem with this list? It's a good list, and covers a lot of ground that, say, the new students coming to town (bing bing bing, this issue's theme!) would be really excited to hear about having performed here.
I think it was well done, and I'd much rather read about someone enjoying one of these shows than some people going crazy on the Commons to KISS, the Rolling Stones, or whoever else came and charged you a lot of money to see.
That being said, I was at the DFA1979 show as well as Alexisonfire, and I agree that they were two of the best to me.
