QotD: Thanks for the Memories
What are the
10most memorable music performances you've seen? (Remember, "memorable" may not be good.)

Bellyfeel at Mississippi Nights, St. Louis
The Strand at 5th and B, San Diego
Underworld at the Riviera Theater, Chicago
Airiel at Double Door, Chicago
Galaxia at Firehouse, St. Louis
Memorably bad:
Superstars of Love at Abbey Pub, Chicago [not that they really should be considered a band]
Fun Club at Elbo Room, Chicago [not that they should be considered a band either]
Thanatos at Dome Room, Chicago [not their fault, but the sound guy should've been shot]
Thrill Kill Kult at 5th & B, San Diego [not that they should be considered anything but a joke at this point]
Kill Hannah in the cafeteria of St Louis University [also not their fault--there were 8 people there]
Alanis Morrisette at Kiel Center, St Louis [yeah I know, it's my fault for agreeing to go in the first place]
And just plain weird:
PM Dawn at a Wal-Mart turned into a country bar in St. Louis, with opening act Britney Spears, no joke.
