    Me, I recommend The Killers. If you can see them, do it. Somebody told me is one of the best songs I've heard, and they sound really good live.
     
    I reccomend Keane...it was the most magical night of my life. I almost saw them again with U2 but the tickets were $100 a pop. But saying Keane is expected from me.

    I want to se AC/DC SO BAD.

    True about the tickets... but it's so amazing that their concerts are always sold out ...>>
     
    Don't see Green Day on there, and they're one of the best bands live. (Not saying this because I'm obsessed. I'm saying this because it's true)
    But yeah, U2 I heard is amazing live.

    I'll have to agree on Green Day being best live. They're one of the better live performers nowadays.

    As for U2, the critics say that they're as good as they were before, but I'm so unsure about their performances nowadays. 90s was their best concert decade and the best performances I've seen in this era is the Superbowl Halftime and the Johnny Cash tribute. Otherwise, I'm not really sure. I've read reviews and they say that they're doing pretty well...

    Yeah. I read an article about U2 through the ages...apparently, their first gig was in Boston or something. They come to Boston a lot. They've been here like 3 times for the Vertigo tour I think. But I read the reviews and they still sound amazing.

    I wanted to travel to Boston and see them with Keane, the tickets were a lot cheaper than NYC. I saw some clips from the concerts though, they really are amazing.

    And Green Day should be on this list, for this part of their career anyway.
