KvP:
Boris and HEALTH. Not at the same shows, though.

They really have come into their own with this album, or maybe since Jamie left. That's not to say that Jamie was holding them back or something, because he was influential in the best songs off Return to the Sea, and he still had a lot to do with the songwriting on Arm's Way, but for some reason they are a more cohesive, tight and all around engaging group now.

october1983:
I've seen Animal Collective live a couple of times, and it's pretty hit and miss. The second time they were pretty awesome and I had a lot of fun and thought they put on a great show in general. The first, however, was not so great. Seeing them live kind of reminds me of watching a David Lynch film: sometimes you just get it and it's great, but others it's more like witnessing something that's supposed to be awesome but actually just feels self-indulgent and far too long winded (the first time I saw them they went on for SO LONG. I'd much rather see a relatively short show and be left wishing for more than have a band overstay their welcome).

Also, I'm going to reiterate the point that Andrew Bird is great live. He's good on record, too, but his live show is pretty outstanding and generally a lot of fun.

Phaedra:
Andrew Bird was probably the best concert I've ever been to.

As for shite acts, Sunn O))) made me physically ill and it's the only concert I've actually been forced to leave early. Four Tet was exceedingly dull on his Rounds tour (which is a shame, because that album kicked ass). The Jesus and Mary Chain were pretty disappointing. The first time I saw Modest Mouse, they were abhorrent, but they made up for it the second time round.

LucyStag:
I knew one Andrew Bird song, and he was still GREAT in concert. So much fun, so gooooood.

One of the most disappointing shows ever would have to be Against Me! this year. They were amazing in '05 (seriously amazing), but they just didn't do it for me this year. Plus, I realized I was finally an old fan, and that was alarming. I am always late for bandwagons, and don't want to be a snob, but I was still thinking "you stupid teenagers, don't you understand that you're supposed to freak out to and know the WORDS to 'Reinventing Avl Rose', 'Those Anarcho Punks are Mysterious', and 'Baby, I'm an Anarchist'? Not to songs from the new mediocre album? DON'T YOU CHILDREN UNDERSTAND?'"
Then I wept.

Also, they stopped the show at like 10 PM and the venue turned into an under-21 night club and a bunch of 14 year old started pole dancing. It was sad.
