I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a better year of live music than
2009. 2001 and 2003 were pretty much neck and neck before, but they
were both missing one key ingredient: a revitalized Phish. I wish I
could’ve squeezed Radiohead in there somehow, but aside from that, it
was as if all my favorite live acts conspired to keep my mind blown for
most of the year. And since most (if not all) of them will be touring
again in the coming months, ’09 may not even hold the crown for long…but
we’ll see. My rule for this list, as always, is only one show per
artist; otherwise, there might have only been three bands on it.

the headings are to my original reviews of these shows, where possible)
