Best of 2009, MTC Concert Edition

What a year it has been.  This has been hands down the busiest concert season for me in my twenty-seven years of life.  Of course, I would not have been able to have gone to as many great shows if it weren't for my arrival in New York in May; sorry Dallas and Norman, you're great but you don't offer the amount of shows (free shows for that matter) in your neck of the woods.  Regardless, I went to some amazing shows and would like to list my top ten:

#1  Paul McCartney @ Citi Field

#2  Muse @ Walter Kerr Theatre

#3  Japandroids @ Pianos

#4  Animal Collective @ Prospect Park

#5  TV on the Radio @ Diamond Ballroom

#6  Dan Deacon @ Ft. Worth Modern Art Museum

#7  Crystal Castles @ All Points West

#8  Boys Noize @ Central Park Summerstage

#8  Gonzales (with Andrew WK) @ Joe's Pub (yes, two #8's)

#9  Simian Mobile Disco @ Webster Hall

#10  Arctic Monkeys @ All Points West

The year is not over yet, so this list might be slightly premature but, most likely, will hold true.  Thanks for all the support this year.

enjoy.
