Best consecutive run of concerts?


Recommended Posts

I am leaving this frozen barren wasteland for 10 days to go back to Toronto for meetings, and I will be leaving those meetings early to attend:

25th - Such Gold, Living With Lions

26th - Every Time I Die

27th - La Dispute, Defeater

Now, this is probably not the best consecutive run of shows I've ever seen, but after living in a remote arctic community only accessible by airplane for the last 2 years, this seems like the second coming of Christ, and I will hopefully be dead, deaf or both after it's over.

Any one else have a good streak like this?

(Streaks in your underpants do not count in this survey)

i almost failed out of college because i skipped finals week one year to goto Pittsburgh to see these shows (must have been around 2002):

Show 1: The Starting Line, Finch, Brand New (the upstage)

Show 2: Alkaline Trio (club laga)

Show 3: Face to Face (club laga)

Show 4: Thursday, Thrice, The Movielife (club laga)

Show 5: Dashboard Confessional (club laga)

Well worth the 1.2 i got that semester.

For my bachelor party we saw I Am the Avalanche & Punchline. Then for the honeymoon the wife and I went and saw Alkaline Trio & Bayside.
