Jroc's thread got me thinking, whats the best band you've seen live?

For me its probably the Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl just knows how to talk to th crowd I guess. The chilis on the other hand who are said to be one of the best live acts around today (saw them on the same day) were kinda distant, flea (bassist) did all the talking and the singer just pranced around like a proverbial t*t  Roll Eyes

My best concert memory was seeing Pat Benetar in a pouring rain.  We got right up by the fence and I looked over while she was singing 'Hell is for Children' (it's a song about child abuse) to see an incredible drop dead gorgeous blonde standing on the botton bars of the fence, leaning over and crying her eyes out while singing the song  completely soaked with rain.  It's an incredible thing to see someone express that much emotion...

Bon Jovi last year in Mannheim. Just incredible to see and hear 50,000 people singing along for almost three hours during a beautiful early summer evening.
My friends can't still believe that I've been there all on my own.  Roll Eyes


I'd really love to see the Foos live,but I don't know when they'll be in Germany the next time.

I've been fortunate in that the shows I've been too have all been good.  But if I had to pick just one, Green Day/Blink 182 is a nice combination. Wink

Jethro Tull, May 1970, Benefit tour, original line-up, Univ of Miami, outdoors, up close.

Jethro Tull, 1971,72, 73, Aqualung, Thick, & Passion  tours with full stage antics, Miami, Florida, USA.

Jethro Tull, 1974.  No stage antics.  Two nights in a row, one with a front row spot.  The heaviest Tull sound ever.  Black Sabbath shoulda seen this one.

Jethro Tull, c. 1975, Tampa, Florida, stadium concert with 'Tullevision' screens set up.

Sorry guys, I've only seen Tull & Sabbath in concert.  Well, maybe a few others, but time sure blurs memory. 

Missed: Joplin, Hendrix & Cream in the late '60's on account of gig conflicts.  But hey, saw it all at the Doors in Miami in Mar 1969!

Keep on pluckin', y'awl!
