I had to think of shows that not just I enjoyed, but ones that I could recommend to anyone, anywhere. And these are all bands I love (I did pay to see them)
Not Recommended:
Iggy and the Stooges. Boring and predictable.
The Fall: Might be some interesting moments, but again a bore.
Red House Painters/Mark Kozelek/Sun Kil Moon: He writes some good stuff, but live... oh my...zzzzzz.
Go now:
TV on the Radio: Nice mix of genres, fun.
Gang of Four: Reformation held up pretty good. Not as earth shattering as 25 years ago, but not bad, not bad at all.
Starlight Desperation: Not sure if they are still around, but they played to three people at the show I was at (including me) and it was astonishing.
Back when they were around;
Mclusky: Man, they were good.
Guitar Wolf: Dont know if they are still around after the bass player passed away. Non stop.
The Grifters: Hit or miss, but that was part of the charm. And when they hit... no one close.
