Some Top ones that I can remember in the past year for other veneus were....(note I wasn't at ALL of these so i'm guessin to get some talk going here)

Steamers (Skafest) w/ One Drop + The Operators + Soul Captives + Upright Dub


Sugar - KMFDM or Gwar

Logans - Matt Sharp, The Recent Hot Hot Heat shows, High Five Drive

There were LOTS more, what did everyone else think? - Mon, 17 Jan 2005 2:04pm

I couldn't even start to name the shows that I'm annoyed that I missed. It far out counts the best shows I've been to this year. The Steamers show with One Drop, Operators, Soul Captives & Upright Dub Orchestra was definately a highlight.

I'd have to admit to being to more shows in Van than here. I plan on changing that this year. - Mon, 17 Jan 2005 3:18pm

Six Feet Under didn't play here.... I wish they would... but you're thinking of Cannibal Corpse w/ Black Dahlia Murder and Severed Savior

I'd put that as my fav show of the year all around

I could of sworn that Six Feet Under played here in September or October, course that was the buzz that was going around (I remember Cannibal Corpse, that gig rocked, even if I caught the last 10 minutes of the show). - Tue, 18 Jan 2005 9:30am

Hey... thanks for posting that, Scott. Just so everyone knows, both the top 10 and the Honourable Mentions were from an online poll we did through our mailing list. The Staff Picks were shows that didn't get as many votes but the staff (who see almost every show) were blown away by. That's not to say they weren't into the other shows as well. Anyway... Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond to the poll.

As for the shows I wished I saw:
The Constantines
KMFDM
Suicide Girls (OK, bad joke)
Hot Hot Heat (wait... that's 2005)
Sparta
Agent Orange (... even though they were at Lucky, I was away in New Orleans for those two shows.) - Tue, 18 Jan 2005 1:59pm

The Nardwuar show was the best all year, Unicorns were also great, and The Killers were ok w/ sam roberts, Sparta played well but the crowd was too small, Immaculate Machine were good at Fernwood with my shitty band, as well David Chenery and the Lonesome Valley Singers, Dylan at Logans Nov 19th, we also played at that show but definitly not a highlight, those were a few. - Thu, 20 Jan 2005 1:29pm

'ere to that muta!
that pandora all ages was good times in the insanity dept.
the shitty part was that it stayed light out till the show
was over..fuckin' summer!
Best shows:= Cannibal, Exhumed, Cryptopsy, GWAR (can't believe they were w/ DF!!)
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be terribly excited if 6FU came
to Vic. They really wussed out and I heard they did a song
w/ ice cube?! ahhh, it would still be cool as long as they
left ice cube at home.. - Fri, 21 Jan 2005 8:22pm
