The Best Concerts Of 2006

Take two supremely successful summer music festivals, add that to a good helping of standard club shows, and you've got an excellent number of shows that took place in Chicago in the last year. Of those that I could make, here are my favorites. All shows below took place in Chicago, IL, and thanks to Muzzle Of Bees for the below photo.
