I would like to see your favorite live show/act whatever. That is not pre-recorded or edited. Anything from live music, stand up, acting, etc etc.


Here's two I like:

B.R.M.C is really good too, but depends a bit on how drunk/stoned those guys are. There is a sweet spot that I was once able to experience live

I saw them as an opener to Dream Theater some time ago and I just didn't like their performance at all. Meh, maybe not totally my kind of music. Dream Theater were really amazing, though.

Maybe only beaten by these guys, Symphony X:

Rammstein and Slipknot would have been the best shows ive ever seen

Between the fire antics of rammstein and the generaly crazy energy from slipknot..hard choice!

Best gigs I've ever been to:

System Of A Down, Manchester Academy, ~2002
System Of A Down, Download Festival, 2005
Iron Maiden, MEN Arena, 2006
Slipknot, Sonisphere Festival, 2011
Turisas, Manchester Academy 3, 2012

Muse has the best live acts undoubtly..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajEltJYx0zA just look at the stage, stage performance and the crowd and music itself.. and not to forget Matthew's Kaoss Pad guitars...

12 awards of having the best live act, including Kerrang, NME and BRIT awards and some other, huge list of nominations

Quote from Hahmo :

Like Kerrang and NME have ever given awards due to a band's musicianship..

Ministry in the Temple Bar Music Center, Dublin closely followed by Sepultura in the same venue. After that, Motorhead and Slayer at just about every venue I've seen them and some local teenage band that played on the back of a trailer at a bike rally many years ago. Cant remember their name or even the venue but they where mindblowingly good and the fact that they had practically no chance of signing with a record label (because that business is about profits, not talent) makes me despise the music industry and is refreshed with just about every pop song I hear.

Quote from Crashgate3 :

They're a talented band and they're really good live. Not my cup of tea at all but they are very good at it.

I don't understand why anyone would want to see a band in a stadium/arena though. Go to a live show and watch it on a screen? Might as well just get the DVD.

Oh, I wasn't heaping scorn on Muse, merely implying that those publications tend to like bands based on things like their hairstyles or whatever the 12 year old hipsters happen to be into this nanosecond, rather than any genuine musical talent.

ive seen Omid Djalili live, hes funny xD

In 1986 I went to see a concert that left a lasting impression on me.....

Queen Live at Wembly Stadium 12-07-1986, I have been to see many live acts over the years but no-one ever sounded as good as Queen Live.

Jerry Sadowitz at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2008
Far too vulgar to have footage of

(pm me for possibly the sickest joke in history, it was his opening gag after calling the entire audience a bunch of inbred cnuts :tilt

I went to a strip club once.

Slipknot - Duality Live in perth early this year...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AMELUBD_GY

They came on right after System of a down, and being a major fan of SOAD i thought they put on an impressive show...but slipknot blew them right out of the ****ing water!
Still embeded in my memory, never felt so much energy from a crowd before :3

damnnnn

I saw Oasis before they were really big at my local park, really awesome atmosphere there just a few hundred people on a lazy afternoon.
Never really liked big events, just too many people to feel connected to all thats going on.

One duo I would love to find busking around town are these guys.
