The Ten Best Los Angeles Concerts of 2012

Hollywood Bowl, September 23
Seeing Flying Lotus perform his new songs, behind his 3-D live show, at the Bowl, on a gorgeous night, was pretty good. It wasn't as good as the time I got married or the day my son was born but it was almost that good.
5. Three 6 Mafia
Ivan Fernandez
Paid Dues Festival, April 7
Juicy J has a second wind, and Three 6 Mafia stole the show on a lineup featuring Kendrick Lamar, Dipset and Mac Miller. The dormant airplane hangar at the Nos Events Center could hardly contain the ruckus from spilling outside as Three 6 raged through hits like "Doe Boy Fresh," "Lolli Lolli," and "Poppin' My Collar." The set lulled as Chicano rapper (and Hypnotize Minds' signee) Kokoe took the stage. But Juicy and DJ Paul then turned the crowd into a moshing frenzy as they climaxed with the appropriately-named "Stay Fly." --Marcus Arman
4. Roger Waters performing The Wall
Timothy Norris
Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, May 19
Roger Waters' massive staging of The Wall at the Coliseum wasn't just a concert. It was a fully immersive experience. Taking advantage of the large stadium space, "The Wall" spanned across the entire 35-yard line. The sound design was phenomenal, turning the 90-year-old Coliseum into a state-of-the-art surround sound amphitheater for one night. Seeing the WWII biplane zip from the top of the end zone scoreboard above the audience and dive-bomb the top bricks of the wall will remain burned in our mind. --Jason Roche
