Print ArticleBest Concerts of 2012: Blondie at Hard Rock Live, Hollywood, and Adam Ant at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek; A New Wave Tie

Blondie
2012 certainly brought a bevy of class gigs to the tri-county area, but upon reflection, the ones that stood out the most did so for reasons like honesty, longevity, and nostalgia. Not that nostalgia is necessarily a bad thing, but it would be downright criminal to pass up a pair of New Wave acts packing it for fans and doing it with enough gusto and chutzpah that was equal parts nods to the established classics and their newer material.
For Blondie, the choice was easy.

Best Concerts of 2012: The Who at BB&T Center, Sunrise

OK, so it wasn't the Who of old. Keith Moon, the symbol of the band's irreverent attitude, is long gone, and John Entwistle, the band's stoic bass man and rhythmic anchor, succumbed a decade ago as well. Pete Townshend, balding and irascible, is clearly showing his age (even stalking off stage prior to the last number in protest of a monitor apparently too loud for his liking). And while Roger Daltrey still looks buff for a man rapidly closing in on 70, his ability to hit the high notes remains in doubt.
This then is the band that proudly proclaimed, "Hope I die before I get old!"

2012's SunFest didn't disappoint, featuring 25 local bands and everyone from Joan Jett to Girl Talk. But one act rose above the forgettable and ran away with the honors of the "best concert I saw in 2012," and those lucky sons of bitches are Passion Pit.
Best Concerts of 2012: Van Halen at BankAtlantic Center (Now BB&T Center)

The things that make up a "best" concert aren't the good things. Those you don't remember. It's the crazy shit; like when I fell twice in a filthy mosh pit at a Black Lips show and couldn't get back up on my own, or when, this past spring, David Lee Roth threw a total '80s diva shit-fit on stage at the BankAtlantic (now BB&T) Center.
