Best CONCERTS of 2012?

I went to a number of great concerts this year. The top 3 all took place in my home state of NJ:

Bruce Springsteen with Joe Grushecky & the Houserockers at the Paramount Theater, Asbury Park NJ in January

Patti Smith and her band at the State Theater, New Brunswick NJ in October

A reunited Graham Parker & The Rumour at the Newton Theater, Newton NJ last night! See them if you can!

So, despite the awful damage caused by Hurricane Sandy, a wonderful year for music in NJ.

I saw Bruce Springsteen earlier this week in Phoenix, AZ and he put on a GREAT show. More energy and excitement than I have seen from any band in years
