What band puts on the best show? - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

Tool.

Absolutely amazing every time I saw them.

ObiTrentKenobi · 01-28-2009, 11:17 PM

Switchfoot! Their show is more about the music than the "show".

But, i've never gone to a concert where more than half of the songs on the list were "redone", "abstracted" and "improv" and different than the album versions. And i know every Switcfoot song...

They are so musically talented, it doesn't show as much on the albums as it does live. Their improv version of "dare you to move" is one of the most absolutely beautiful songs ever.

Hearing them live is like hearing them for the first time all over...

(BTW, Relient K and Ruth opened for them, and they were stinking great too. Ruth is now in my top 5 favorite bands ever! and they only have 1 album!!!! hahaha)

yea id say metalllica for sure, seen them 6 times, 3 of them on this current tour. stone sour is just a great band to see live, nothing flashy, just great musicianship and stage presence.

the coolest concert ive ever been to (and im surprised no one has said it yet) is Trans-Siberian Orchestra. F'in amazing show

metallica shows ive been to:
2003-07-27 - Minneapolis, MN
2004-05-12 - Omaha, NE - Front Row on the rail!
2004-08-31 - Ames, IA - Front Row on the rail!
2008-10-25 - Kansas City, MO - Front Row on the rail!
2008-10-26 - Des Moines, IA - Front Row on the rail!

The best shows are always surprises, and they are always in bars in unfamiliar towns where you stopped in for a drink early, stayed until the band showed up, then decided to stay the rest of the night, because of the band.

you wouldnt believe how many older people were there and how many people were actually standing around. it was pretty pathetic; they had to get there somewhat early to get those spots and then they just stood there..... most of the older people though are fellow metallica club members so most of us up front were there to enjoy the show

yea, I just saw relient k at the house of blues on halloween.
real fun show... every other band there dressed as the lead, Matthew Thiessen.

nothing trumps seeing The Misfits on halloween tho.

I couldnt believe how varied the ages were at the show I just went to. There were very young children and older people. Metallica is a 24 year old band. Im just gald that they didnt play any Load or Reload.

BStecke · 01-29-2009, 05:18 AM

I've seen Nine Inch Nails twice, and both times the show was fantastic. Those shows are followed closely by the Marilyn Manson show I saw in early '97. He's a very good performer.

I find the cover of that song very offensive.

I was once smoking with my buddies and they were like "I am gonna put on *****es aint shit" and I got all excited thinking it was the REAL version...and it was the ben folds version and I was like W...T..F IS THIS!

it actually puts gangster rap in a whole new light...when you just view how offensive the lyrics really are...
