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!

I would have to say that ZZ Top in Reno was a sick concert, even though they are not my favorite band.

It was right after we had finished watching the air races, a very cold night but it was well worth it


If you ever get a chance to see them live DO IT, you won't regret it

im lucky enough to have been to loads of gigs/concerts, but i think my favourites have blacksabbath-the last supper at birmingham and ozzfest 97 at milton keynes.
system of a down absolutley rocked at reading festival a couple of years ago, they were amazin, but my all time fav's have gotta be metallica. ive seen em loads of times, and they are just soooo good. loud, fast, but so tight...everything metal should be..i was even lucky enough to meet james hetfield at the earls court gig in 96  or was it 97...jeez, my memories bad... ???

So far the best live I have been was last summer's Rockwave Festival in Athens with a number of important bands like W.A.S.P., Nightwihsh, Judas Priest and more. If I had to ditinguish one of them I would say the best was the part of Judas Priest.

  I've seen Priest a couple of times (Turbo tour was one of them) and yes, they do put on a great show, so did Iron Maiden back in the day, the last time I saw Maiden though they didn't have as big of a show as they used to.

I will have the chance to see Maiden again next June in Athens. I don't expect them to be what I have seen in the past but they will be better by far than Scorpions (I felt the need to say it). I have seen them 2 times in the last 5 years in Athens and they sucked. I like their past work (until Savage Amusement) but in their lives they tend to play the whole latest CD, 70% of the previous one and a couple of olders songs.

So many shows to remember, but: As far as a big rock concert goes, probably Rush at the Palladium (before they turned that beautiful hall into a tacky disco) on the "Hemispheres" tour. That was... damn, I'm old... that was way way back in 1978 or 1979. I was a huge fan at the time, and it blew me away... the warmup band was Starz (sort of an Aerosmith ripoff); they were pretty crappy.
