Best Live concert?

Started by Darth Jello3 pages

I prefer bands who focus on music and winging it, maybe with the possible exception of GWAR. Most of the bands I've seen have been able to pack a show by just coming onstage and being high energy and occasionally smashing a guitar. Sonic Youth still holds attention simply by jamming and playing around with feedback and by preparing their guitars with screwdrivers and drumsticks and nail files.

Van Halen
U2

LL Cool J sucked and so did Choclair.

Tokio Hotel
Live in Athens, Greece

Honestly, there's too many bands to name that are all excellent live.. except for the ones that use Autotune

The bass player @ 2:02-2:07 KILLED it!

This live performance is better than the studio version, imho.

Rush is my favorite live band.
Also enjoyed Muse , Arcade Fire, The White Stripes and LCD Soundsystem.

This performance was PERFECTION!
Sounds almost exactly like the studio version.

Coldplay is sooo awesome live.

But I haven't had the pleasure of partying with Justice Yet 🙁

When I saw Ben Harper live a few summers back he was incredible energetic and impressive!

For me it's GWAR. I've been to so many of their shows growing up. Good, good fun.
