A Summer of Concerts

I've been to quite a few shows this summer. It started off with seeing George Carlin and Russell Peters perform in DC. The musical experience so far has been:
1. Rush at the Nissan Pavillion, Bristow
2. Poison and Ratt also at the Nissan Pavillion, Bristow
3. Slayer and Marilyn Manson at Merriweather Post Pavillion, Columbia
4. Dream Theater at Pier 6 Pavillion, Baltimore

Upcoming shows:
1. Queensryche at the Ram's Head, Baltimore
2. Tesla also at the Ram's Head, Baltimore
3. Megadeth at the 930 Club, DC
I'm also seeing Opie & Anthony's Traveling Virus (Bob Saget, Louis CK, Carlos Mencia) this weekend.

So far, the Slayer gig was the most intense (are you surprised?) while the Dream Theater show was probably the best overall show (Dream Theater remains my #2 favorite live band after Soulfly). Now if only Rage Against The Machine did an east coast tour...
