Best Concert

Readers Poll 2001

BY None NonePublished Nov 17, 2016

1. Radiohead

Might have been the drugs. -Jason Tidsbury, Vancouver BC

The nitpickers typically complained about venue and other lame distractions when they should of focused on the beautiful atmosphere and energy emanating from these living legends. Amnesiac sounded better live. Remixes and funky bass lines transformed their sound. Peaking on ecstasy, smoking some BC weed, and hearing "Paranoid Android" and "Idioteque" back-to-back still sends shivers up my spine thinking about it. -Brent "Sol" Sallee, Calgary AB


2. U2

I thought that PopMart was incredibly underrated, but this concert really put things in perspective. I never knew what U2 was still capable of until I saw this. -Patrick Reinartz, Fredricton NB

Glad to see that U2 is back to producing good music after ten years of crap. -Don Tse, Calgary AB


3. Sigur Rós

I am speechless. -F. Claus Nader, Toronto ON

A beautiful show where the band blew the roof off the dump and the classy double encore with bowing topped it off. -Craig Outhet, Prince George BC


4. Tool

This concert was so cool I can almost forgive them for playing in a venue that was all seats. I hate seats. -Richard Talmey, Richmond BC

Heavy magic. Sherese Klein, Calgary AB


5. Eric's Trip

The spirit of Canadian indie rawk returned for a few magical weeks over the summer. -Graeme Danko, Toronto ON

They rocked so hard for the entire time. Julie wanted to go to the bathroom, but Rick White wouldn't stop playing. -Russ Dyck, Winnipeg MB
