And the worst set I've ever seen on a main stage (and this year) easily goes to... Kaytranada @ Off The Grid
is he really that bad? i thought he was okay when i saw him a few years ago
Can't speak for that show in particular but he headlined M3F in Phoenix and it was pretty overwhelmingly boring. His music is great for casual listening but it just doesn't translate to an exciting live show. Got 2 stars from me because I withhold 1 star for the Truly Shite

Kaytra's crowd at This Ain't No Picnic was massive and I just...didn't get it. Crowd was eating it up, but these posts make me feel a bit better about it not being just a "me" problem.
Worst show of 2022 for me was the second of the two Bright Eyes performances I caught. First show at the Greek was great; Conor was professional, mostly sober, knew he had a large crowd to show up for who had tickets to the canceled 2020 Palladium shows, and had a full string section. The Observatory show a few months later was the opposite; smaller band without the string section, but he kind of used the smaller room and band as an excuse to be a high-and-mighty drunk dickhead (nothing necessarily new; the Conor solo set I caught in 2016 was the same way) who forgot half his lyrics and took nearly 10 minutes to return to the stage for the encore.
That said, he provided my favorite banter line of the year at that show: "You should have seen us in Vegas at When We Were the Killers Festival, we were fucking incredible."
Not going to rank every show, ain't nobody got time for that. Mix of festival sets and standalone shows, not going to differentiate between sets if I saw an artist twice. Saw the most sets I've ever seen in a year at ~140 (I always forget to add a couple of openers to my spreadsheet)

I used the wrong edit - they get 4 stars, and I’ll put them in. Thing about Polyphia live is that the shit is so technical to play that they have to drop any semblance of ego to pull off a lot of what they are playing live. So from a musical performance level, yeah, it’s probably as good as anyone is doing. From a show level, it’s substance over style. They are one of the very few talented modern bands I can think of that is more experimental in the studio maybe that’s the early progressive and jam influences I had where the experimentation came while improvising shit live. We are getting some lights and a banner back-drop at this point, but maybe they will work with some bigger graphical artists as they get more exposure.
Calvin Harris (Life is Beautiful, NV) Fred Again.. (Coachella Wk1, CA and Portola, CA) Madeon (Coachella Wk1, CA) Disclosure (Coachella Wk1, CA and Outside Lands, CA) Lady Gaga (Chromatica Ball, Oracle Park CA) The Chemical Brothers (Portola, CA) Doja Cat (Coachella Wk1, CA) Bonobo Live (Fragments Tour, Fox Theatre CA) Jungle (This Ain't No Picnic, CA and Life is Beautiful, NV) Harry Styles (Coachella Wk1, CA)
I'm definitely in my "quality over quantity" years. This is pretty much everything I saw last year, but every one of these shows was fantastic in its own way. Rankings are rough and kind of arbitrary (I put comedy at the end because that's even more arbitrary).
1 & 1a. Billie Eilish @ Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney (14/09 & 15/09 - basically the same show each night, but night two gets the edge because we got box seat comps ) 2. LCD Soundsystem @ Brooklyn Steel, NYC (29/11) 3. Stromae @ Agannis Arena, Boston (06/12) 4. The Smile @ Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles (22/12) 5. King Gizzard & The Wizard Lizard @ Enmore Theatre, Sydney (07/03) 6. Glass Animals @ Hordern Pavillion, Sydney (16/07) 7. Hayden James @ Hordern Pavillion, Sydney (03/09) 8. Gorillaz @ Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney (26/07) 9. Dua Lipa @ Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney (09/11) 10. Tyler the Creator @ Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney (29/07) 11. Flight Facilities @ Entertainment Quarter, Sydney (19/03) 12. Jim Jefferies @ Enmore Theatre, Sydney (20/06) 13. Chris Rock @ ICC, Sydney (13/08)

Took a bit longer to put this together than I expected. Hope some of you are still reading this thread. Anybody got me beat on this list? Easily the biggest year for live music I've ever had.
