I saw a lot of shows this year, but my favorites by far were the Two Cow Garage 10th Anniversary shows in Little Rock at the White Water Tavern. The 14 hour or so drive was worth it - got to see several of my favorite bands all under one roof and drink far, far too many PBR tall boys for $1.50 a piece. Honorable mention goes to the Lucero two night stand in Fayetteville, especially night one with Cory Branan opening. Crazy that I made two road trips to Arkansas this year, but both were amazing. As far as WI shows go, I loved being able to see The Jayhawks and Alejandro Escovedo at Summerfest. It was beautiful that night. Looking forward to a three night run of Lucero shows in April in Madison, MKE, and Chicago that I will be going to. My favorite band on earth.
