 Langerado 2006: Ben Harper, Drive By Truckers. March 11 & 12, 2006. Ben Harper is one of those artists who is best on stage.

Weezer July 19, 2005 The MTV Cameras hovered above over the crowd and in front of Rivers Cuomo and company.

Luckily it only went to the first or second row; we were standing about five or six rows of people back. Read more...  The Killers November 20, 2004 The Killers rocked the Masquerede in Ybor City, Florida in one of the loudest shows I have ever seen.
