true, Grohl had 10,000 people eating out of his hand when i saw them, it was really good

Not a band nor a concert, but excellent live performance nonetheless... better than the studio version IMO.

Maybe I should start a similar thread for solo artists

Iron Maiden - CIA 2006
Slipknot - Download Festival 2005
Akercocke - 10th Anniversary Show @ London Underworld 2008
Dark Tranquility - London Barfly 2008

WTF? O_O
How does she sing perfectly?

She's weird, but her voice is consistent live.. sounds a lot better than most artists, like Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus or Britney who terribly sucks live.

Probably one of the best singers out there right now.

So, its been a few years and I have to say Alice Cooper far and away put on the best show. He isn't close to my favorite musician, but he is unbelievable live. Its like a magic show with awesome music.

Still Sonic Youth, by far.

Green Day
TSO
Dropkick Murphys
Metallica

Torn between Radiohead, Neil Young and Electric Eel Shock.
Saw both Radiohead and Neil Young at Roskilde 08 and thought both were fantastic. Electric Eel Shock played at a local club almost a two years ago and they were the shit. Drunken, good old fashioned rock 'n' roll

Prince
Stevie Wonder
George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic

I saw that group this summer too. They were ok. BLS were easily my favorites of the bunch.

Blur.

Coldplay and Jay Z

Breaking Benjamin

Weezer was pretty legit. Rivers was jumping on a trampoline while playing guitar and threw his instruments into the audience. Real high energy made it fun.

Is anyone else turned off by props, pyrotechnics, and scripted ass clownery at shows?

Nope. As long as there is something different to see, its fun. Though I was really disappointment by Green Day due to their scripting because they don't change anything from year to year. I remember seeing them and really liked them. Then about a year and a half later, they came back to my area and put on the exact same show. Exact. They used props that were fun the first time, but they used them in the exact same way with the same timing as they did in their previous showing. I have no problem with a band using gimmicks and such for a whole tour, but when you finish the tour, come up with something new for your next go around.
