Best Live Band/Performer

Xandax · 07-22-2004, 01:17 PM

Last night I saw Less Than Jake for the first time. They were effin awesome and my girlfriend left w/ Chris' pick so that was cool too. They get my vote by far.

What is the best live show you have ever seen ? Include stories ect

Kottonmouth Kings and Mindless self indulgence. KMK let us help them set up stage before going on and we talked and shit for awhile about random stuff acrouse. And Mindless self Indulgence are just full of way too much energy. I loved every second of seeing them they are worth going 600 miles for. After the show they sign and talk to the fans. Funny story is that my friend brough them his "Tight" cd for them to sign and its preety rare and goes for 70 dollars or so, and Jimmy (Lead) wrote, Sell me on ebay im fake.

am i misreading this? guessing thats some dude in the band. i havent listened to Less than jake in like 4 years(theyre not cool anymore)

but anyways. Comeback Kid is pretty sweet live. Bane is good too.

yeah Chris is the singer/guitar guy. Yeah i'm kinda disappointed w/ their newer stuff but they still played alot of songs from Losing Streak and stuff

A Perfect Circle was phenomenal this tour. I saw them on their original tour, and truthfully, I was unimpressed. This time, however, with Twiggy and James Iha, they gave nothing less than a virtuoso performance.

Gotta hand it to The Mars Volta as well. Despite being an opener, people didn't leave their seats for this one. Dare I say it, I'm glad At the Drive In broke up.

JIM MORRISON.

Gotta agree Bane was one of thebest shows Ive seen in a while, they have a real good interaction with the crowd. I love the Dropkick Murphys shows, though, lots of energy and crowd participation.

Fadaar · 07-23-2004, 08:25 PM

Chevelle was pretty damn good live.

Stroker Ace · 07-23-2004, 10:03 PM

GWAR for fun factor, Outkast for best performance. Dj Shadow is sick live. Just to see him molest the turntables is boggling. The Fantomas/Melt Banana show was interesting. Really high energy when Melt Banana played, insanity when Fantomas played.

I've never been to either of their concerts, but Coldplay and Radiohead sound really good on live tracks or watching the concerts on TV.

APC was really good live, as was Rage Against the Machine.

BHo · 07-24-2004, 12:58 PM

jurassic 5. they dont just rap, they put on a show for their audience.

and stroker ace - you liked shadow live? to be honest I was kind of disappointed with him live. Did you see him at the quannum world tour? he was there with 3 other DJs, so he didn't have as long as I would have liked him to have, but he just didn't shine like id hoped he would. you know what DJ is fucking incredible live though? RJD2. AMAZING...he was using 3 turntables when i saw him...friend said he used 4 when he went to his show a few months ago.

Lanludar · 07-24-2004, 03:44 PM

The X-ecutioners...oh and from a totally different genre wierd al kicks some major ass live, changing the whole bands costumes and shit for the theme of every song.

I saw him at the Austin Music Hall back in 99' with Quannum MC's. He was on 3 tables (He rarely used the third, mostly for random breaks, I think he had a MPC up there with him too) and he did a lot of older tracks. I was really fucked up half way thru his set though.

I didn't have time to go to the Quannum World Tour this year, and I have yet to see RJD2 live. But I've heard things.

Tool/APC for just the "show" aspect. It's always an eyeful.

Metallica for the "energy" aspect. The band gets into it and the fans are insane, it's awesome.
