These are all songs I've heard live, in the order I saw them. This mix is more about the stories than the music, but all of the tracks have meaning for me because they remind me of the shows. Who I was with, why I was there, where I got drunk afterward, etc.
tracklist
| 1 | A Perfect Circle : 3 Libras |
|
Opened for NIN. My first live Maynard experience. I still dream about it. He passed out on stage in the middle of the set. They blew in some smoke to cover it up and played his vocals from the album. My seats were so bad I didn't know about it until I read it in the paper the next day.

| 2 | Nine Inch Nails : March of the Pigs |
|
I saw NIN in 2000 and again in 2005. This song was so awesome live, both times. I made a music video of it in high school for a class project, it totally kicked ass.

Coolest song about window washers that I know about. Really good live. Also, Steven sings My Heart Will Go On waaay better than Celine Dion.

| 4 | Everclear : You Make Me Feel Like a Whore |
|
I really hate Everclear, but they were playing on campus my freshman year. This song sounded pretty good live... a lot of energy in the crowd. Art refused to play until the college republicans took down their Bush/Cheney signs.

| 5 | Eels : Dog Faced Boy |
|
E is always awesome live. The first time I saw him was the Shootenanny! tour. After the second encore, the house lights came on and most of the audience left. Then the rest of the band came out on stage. The guitar player got on bass, the bassist took the drums, and the drummer break danced. It was so cool, they were up there for a good 20 minutes.

| 6 | Cold : No One |

Third band in the Nintendo Fusion Tour, just before Evanescence took the stage. Cold was my favorite band on this tour and I caught a pick the guitarist tossed into the crowd and it's still the pick I use the most.

| 7 | Evanescence : Tourniquet |
|
Amy Lee has a much better live voice than the produced sound that ends up on the albums. They also did a great cover of Zero and a bunch of Metallica songs. During a cover of One, they pulled a guy out of the audience to sing the lyrics at the part "taken my sight, taken my speech...".

| 8 | No Doubt : Running |

Gwen would be a lot better live if she didn't jump around on stage so much that she runs out of breath and pants her way through songs. I think she was sitting down for this one, so it sounded a lot better.

| 9 | Blink 182 : Down |
|
I'm not a huge blink-182 fan, but this show was alright for a couple reasons. First, Travis Barker is an awesome drummer and it's really cool to watch him live. Second, the bass player kept standing in front of his amp and it did a good job of drowning out the guitarist's crappy singing.

| 10 | Alanis Morissette : Hands Clean |

I've always liked her voice and she's not too bad to look at now that she's cut her hair. Also, any song about Ryan Reynolds is going to be pretty good. At least, some of it is about him.

| 11 | Kasabian : Test Transmission |

These guys are so good live. One of the most energtic bands I've ever seen. Also, I thought it was pretty cool on Club Foot when the bassist and lead guitar switched instruments because the baseline was just a little too complicated for him.

| 12 | Rock 'n' Roll Soldiers : Three Goddamns |
|
This is one of the coolest rock bands I've ever seen. I've seen the singer jump on the bass drum at a few shows and try playing guitar and singing while balancing at the same time. One of the most recent times I saw them, he lost his balance and knocked over one of the snares and an amp in the process. Got right back up and kept playing. Good stuff.

| 13 | Violent Femmes : Add It Up |

I'm under the impression that this song can only really be heard live. Very good, tons of energy... and so much weed being passed around in the crowd I was suprised DMB wasn't up next.

Hey, what do you know? They are up next! Different concert, though... this was my first show at The Gorge. Amazing. All I can really say about it. Oh, and way too long. I can also say that.

| 15 | STYX : Come Sail Away |
|
I have never seen so much energy in a performance, both on stage and in the crowd. This show was amazing and it had nothing to do with the music. Dating Tip #1: if you like a girl, get her tickets to see her favorite band live. Dating Tip #2: if the show is six hours away, don't get really drunk the night before so that the next day you have to keep asking her to pull over so you can puke on the side of the road.

Josh Homme is so cool. One guy was yelling for NIN to come on stage, so Josh introduced this song, "I wrote this about having sex with that guy's mom." Totally awesome.

So this was actually an Audioslave concert, but for the first encore, Chris came out alone and did an acoustic version of this song. It was awesome. Audioslave is a solid rock band with a great live show.
