Default Best shows/cds in 2007?

I did this last year with my friends and thought you all may like it too. Good way to find new bands and music.

What were the three best concerts you have seen in 2007 and the three best new cds you got this year.

Mine are as follows:

Concerts:
Umphrey's McGee 2/16 & 17, Fillmore in San Fran.
Michael Franti & Spearhead late night 2nd weekend of Jazzfest.
String Cheese Incident 8/10 & 11, Red Rocks in Colorado.
Honorable mention: Neville Bros. at McDowell Mountain Music Festival in Az.

Cds:
John Butler Trio - Grand National
JJ Grey & Mofro - Country Ghetto
Umphrey's McGee - Live at the Murat
