Crookers at Heathrow Lounge

Logan Fazio

Can't tell you how many times we've drunkenly sang along to Crookers remix of Kid Cudi's "Day 'n' Nite," so it was awesome singing drunkenly to it as they played it 3 feet away from us. Click here to view the full slideshow.

Rufus Wainwright at the Fillmore Miami Beach

A dozen of Rufus Wainwright's European fans are following the Canadian piano man as he treks across North America. Talk about devotion. Click here to read our full review.

Coldplay at BankAtlantic Center

Coldplay gets a lot criticism for being rock-lite, but try telling that to the crowd who packed into the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise for a sold-out performance by the British band. Click here to read our full review.
