Airborne Toxic Event, live on Boston City Hall Plaza | August 1, 2009
The Airborne Toxic Event have become, for all intents and purposes, the WFNX house band. So how the hell did they still manage to surprise us with the pentultimate set at the 2009 Best Music Poll Concert? Might have been the new songs -- but it also might've been the stage dives. For video from TATE's BMP performance, behind-the-scenes photos, and interview audio, visit the 2009 Best Music Poll Concert Museum online .
