I just realized that there was no best-of-year show thread for 2020.
Understandable, given the evil circumstances of 2020, but I did go to some shows last year, and I bet some of you did too, so here's my top ten list for 2020...
(I saw a total of ten shows last year, so it wasn't that hard to pick, but still, fuck it! Here's my list!)
2020 Top Ten
1. - CUP w/ Nels Cline & Yuka Honda - Swedish American Hall, SF
2. - Bill Graham's Bday Bash w/Los Lobos - Fillmore, SF
3. - Phil & Friends w/ Stu, Lebo, Crosby & Amendola - TxR
4. - Phil & Friends w/ Stu, Scott Law, Crosby & Molo - TxR
5. - Sandy Rothman w/ The Waller Bros. - Bird & Beckett Bookstore, SF
6. - ROVA Sax Quartet w/ Myra Medford - Hertz Hall, Cal Berkeley
7. - Ensemble Ari w/ Rhoslyn Jones - Covenant Presbyterian Church, Palo Alto
8. - Jeremy Pelt Quintet - Kuumbwa, Santa Cruz
9. - David Sanborn Quintet - Kuumbwa, Santa Cruz
10. Jason Moran & Marvin Sewell - Kuumbwa, Santa Cruz

I saw one show. Richard Thompson "By Request" (literally a basket full of titles on little slips of paper).
Seems fitting that Keep Your Distance was played.

only saw 2 nights (and one afternoon) of live music last year:
8th (mostly)annual Cracker/Camper Van Beethoven Camp-In:
Camper Van Beethoven, Cracker, Eyelids, John Cameron Mitchell (with Peter Buck, Jay Gonzales of DBT, VK, JES, & Eyelids and a brief appearance by Mike Mills), Jesse Malin Band, Jonathan Segel (improv set), Victor Krummenacher (with Greg Lisher & J. Segel).
John Cameron Mitchell was one of the most cathartic emotional musical experiences i've had in a long, long time.

we had (or were planning on having) tickets for the Third Mind, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and Bikini Kill.

It's nice that you Nelson
It's nice that you Nelson Band lovers got your Hawaii trip & shows in before the world shut down.
I had plans on seeing quite a number of shows in March & April, but nothing that was a big deal like a Hawaii blowout. And if I remember correctly, it was a good run of shows and you all had a big hoot, so that's good.
I like these threads, hopefully we'll hear from a few others.
Carry on.
