What is the best live concert performance ever?

[Poeman]

Can anything top this?



If so, post here and lets discuss

 

[Cunning Stunts]

Metallica's S&M Album. That album is an effin' classic.

 

[Mee]

The Wiggles.

 

[antsman41]

Dave Matthews Band - Live in Chicago... Central Park... Live Trax 1-11... basically any show haha... especially Alpine Valley and Gorge shows...-

Umphrey's McGee is the best live show you'll ever see...

Red Hot Chili Peppers is fun also...

Hard for me to say. I've seen the Rolling Stones, Rob Zombie and Rammstein both put on awesome shows and also seen Kiss a few times.

As for topping the Aerosmith, my friend and I got tickets some years ago to see them for our first time. They were playing in Oakland or San Jose(it's been awhile I can't quite remember which).

I remember we bought them a day before the show and ended up getting tickets that had us on that side spot that is basically on the stage.

We were third row back and Aerosmith had these walkways going to the left and right sides of the stage as well as the one down the center of the arena. I remember Joe Perry doing a solo on the left walkway which was about two feet above me and my friend. We could practically reach up and touch his shoes, that show has yet to be beat.

I've seen three concerts so far. Tool was horrible. Marilyn Manson puts on a really great show. From before you walk in (Bible thumpers preached and gave out pamphlets.) to the end (Manson put on a mock Nazi rally and burned the Bible), it was a great, bizzare show. They Might Be Giants weren't as entertaining, but they still put on a good show (They played two encores just for the fans.). I wanted to go see The Cure in June, but I won't be here then. I'm sure they'd be pretty good.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Queen. Live Aid.

When did you see Tool doc ock rules?

Are you not a big fan or was their setup just not great?

I've seen them about 5-6 times and the only show I didn't think kicked ass was one where they played outside and had those freak show contortionists.

Metallica, they were probably the Best. Summer Sanitarium 2000.

Next to that, Ray Charles.

 

[Matt Murdock]

U2, December 2006, Hawaii.

I saw them last summer.

They're one of my favorite bands. The setup wasn't that great, though. The concert was at this gigantic concert stadium. The sound was poor, there was too much smoke (for the light effects), and the band was pretty much hiding in the dark (Maynard was even facing away from the audience the entire time.). Great band, just not great to see in concert (Or I just picked a poor venue to see them at.).

How do you know?

 

[Rando Aces]

my favorite performance i was at was probably emily haines or modest mouse. the opening bands for both shows were great. emily haines had this sort of great awkwardness that i loved and modest mouse just kicked ass.

 

[Marx]

The best concert that I have been to was probably Aerosmith headlining and (Brett Scallions-led) Fuel as the openers. Mind-blowing!

Jimi at Woodstock

I'm sure Hendrix at Woodstock was but the best one I went to was Nine Inch Nails on the fragile tour. I was one of the best experiences of my life , I was six feet from the stage the entire night and the atmosphere was insane.

I've seen Jerry Lee Lewis, Edgar Winter, Bruce Springsteen, The White Stripes, Bob Dylan and Elvis Costello. Of all of those, my favorite would have to be Bruce Springsteen, seeing as I'm going to see him once more this tour and every other time he gets to my area.
