Which is the best concert you have ever been to?

[doncab999]

It's hard to pick an overall favourite as I have been to some absolutely amazing gigs over the years but if I had to pick one, this would be it: A couple of years ago I caught Sonic Youth - one of my all time favourite bands - play their seminal album 'Daydream Nation' live in its entirity at the Roundhouse in Camden. It was an almost religious experience for myself and one that Sonic Youth say they won't ever be repeating.

Seeing My Bloody Valentine in Manchester last year was incredible, they played 'You Made Me Realise' as their last song complete with a 20 minute 'holocaust' section which is the aural equivilent of sticking your head in a jet engine. The following day I saw Radiohead at the LCCC which was mindblowingly awesome.

Voodoo Music Fest 2004 in New Orleans for me. I saw, in order, The Pixies, Sonic Youth, Green Day, and the Beastie Boys. It was awesome. I would have loved to catch Sonic Youth's "Daydream Nation" set but couldn't get off of work to go.

For me there are a few bands that stand out.

I've seen the John Butler Trio 6 times and they are fantastic. Really fun and upbeat, with a lot of great songs that are not only great to bop along to but are also great to watch and appreciate as a fellow guitarist. They also change up all the songs, adding in extra solo's, different beats and basically just making them a whole lot better.

I have also seen U2 at their Telstra Dome/Etihad Stadium concert, which was fantastic. However I think Coldplay was better at their Rod Laver concert. I went there expecting a good concert but was blown away. They are amazing live and Chris Martin really knows how to entertain a crowd.

Metallica - Wembley, 8th July 2007! - Sick of the Studio Tour

The energy was undescribable, every fan knew sang every word to every song performed, including the instrumentals lol!

and after The Memory Remains, the stadium alone chanted the last line of the song for about 120 seconds, just us fans!

and for everyone whos still wandering, YES Metallica are definately one of the loudest bands in the world!

[hairymtnbiker]

Probably say one of these:

Hot Chip @ Nasa - Reykjavik
The Charlatans @ Brixton Academy - London
Foo Fighters @ Manchester Apollo - Manchester
White Stripes @ Brixton Academy - London
Bjork @ Hammersmith Apollo - London
Gorillaz @ Manchester Opera House - Manchester

I haven't been, but I really want to watch Arden Kaywin...so far I would have to say Jacks Mannequin is the best concert Ive been to! I love it when he climbs on the piano and steps on the keys hahaa

[BlackHearts09]

Kaywin is a good artist and she's actually performing in Indianapolis tonight.
I've been to Jason Mraz concert and he is a brilliant performer! I'm hoping to go watch him at the hollywood bowl in october.. that would be sick!

OzzFest 2004 in Virginia. Great line-up and great concert. Better yet, because of a "friend of a friend", afterwards I got to go back stage and chill with Slipknot, Lacuna Coil, Otep, and Dimmu Borgir. Always be the best concert I ever remember.

Metallica, no contest. I saw them in 2008 at the Oakland show and the energy was unparalleled. I fought my way to the front and never in my life had a concert left me that battered and bruised. The band put on a very tight show, especially considering how they've been playing thrash metal for over 20 years, an incredible feat considering how much energy it takes to perform music of that speed night in and night out. They also played a flawless setlist though one song from Load would've been nice (yes, I like that album!)

An honorable mention has to go to Dream Theater. Those guys put on an incredible show.

Van Halen 1996 at The Palace Of Auburn Hills Michigan

2nd row that night and i got like 5 guitar picks from Eddie flinging them into the crowd and best of all i got his head band he threw into the crowd as well.

The funny part to this story is this....

I was bending over to pick up a pick off the floor, when i stood up i got hit right in the chest with his head band.

I really think he was throwing to a chick in front of me, but hey i got it right here and that's all that counts lol.

Pearl Jam, Memorial Drive Adelaide, 1995.

Hey, it was the mid nineties, Seattle sound was huge, we were young. Great show.
