non sequitur Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I'm going to go see Ben Folds this summer. From what I've seen and heard about his live shows, it should kick ass. I want that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litespeed Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Ok, don't laugh, but the best live performance I've seen was probably Tina Turner. Very polished professional performance (even with a phoned-in bomb threat in the middle). As we left the concert, they flashed up photos of the crowd and stage taken during the show on the big screen. I personally don't go for large stadium concerts because, in my experience, the sound is {censored}e and you have to watch a big screen the whole time (which is out of sync with the sound). I prefer smaller venues where you can actually get closer to the performers. Best concert overall though was probably Supergroove. Tiny venue and it was freakin' madness.

lord xeon Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Billy Joel was really good when i saw himabout 10 years ago. Gin Blossoms were good too. Trans Siberian Orchestra amazing, the light show, the music, the whole Christmas sense of their music, they were an amazing show. Meat Loaf was good, but he's getting old, and it shows. Queen + Paul Rodgers was good, but no one can beat Freddie Mercury...ever I'd have to say that so far, TSO is probably the best i've seen, but, as you can tell above, i havent seen many, but hopefully i'll be seeing Live, and maybe Styx over the summer, if i have the money.

Quelkin Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 The original Jefferson Airplane (pre-Grace Slick) at the Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco (Slick was on the same bill, with the Great Society) 'Heavy' as we used to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreary79 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I've been to a lot of concerts and have seen a lot of good ones and bad ones. But the one I thought of when I first saw the topic was an MxPx concert I went to at the Big Easy in Boise, ID. Their stage presence is amazing and I loved all the guitar aerobatics.

xplizid Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I'd say Tool in Vegas, a 311 concert years back wasnt bad either maybe it was just coz i was trippin on acid during it. Also a funny one but cool at the same time was No Quarter a Led Zeppelin Tribute band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embio Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Idlewild/Zutons/Feeder/REM at Lancashire County Cricket Ground was awesome value for money, but I suppose the James comeback gig at the MEN a couple of weeks back was the best. Lots of people in Manchester afterwards were noticing my t-shirt and wanting to know how good it was, when they were releasing more, and generally being chatty. Plus the band were amazing!

xnotetoseifx Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 The best band I have ever seen live would without a doubt be Valient Thorr.
