Top 5 in Philly: Live Shows

We all know that, during the year, you have to go to your roommate’s a Capella performance. But right now it's summer, you're obligation-free, and there are so many things you could be seeing that have nothing to do with the Performing Arts Council. Who says live entertainment is dead?
