what are the best live bands you've seen?
i, unfortunately, live in an area that's often overlooked for live shows, but here's mine...
wolf eyes caroliner bride of no-no mogwai catharsis hella mammal don caballero burning star core oxes andrew wk mountain goats nautical almanac !!! sonic youth friend/enemy japancakes arab strap my name is rar rar however, the sad part is this list of bands i really wanted to see, but missed due to friends flaking out having to be at work, or the fucking show being canceled... xiu xiu godspeed you black emperor black dice metalux lightning bolt zeek sheck oneida avey tare, panda bear, and geologist dirty three piano magic black heart procession |
GWAR :rock
ICP :rock (i dont like them but theyre good live) Locobazooka :rock XiuXiu :rock Basically, any band that does something different :) |
Gwar. I saw them in Poughkeepsie...it was so awesome.
The only thing that annoyed me is that I couldn't see over peoples heads. Why did I have to be born so damn short! |

Well. . .In Hawaii, we don't get too many CONUS bands. Top three I've seen recently are:
1.) Fishbone (HI) 2.) Aquabats, The (HI) 3.) Demonics, The (CA) -this wasn't recent, but unfortunately, better than anything I've seen in the last couple years- My criteria is more than just the music, but stage presence as well as crowd response. |
Ween
NOFX Ray Charles Jon Spencer Blues Explosion Demolition Doll Rods |
Fuck yeah!!! Don Caballero is absolutely mesmerizing live. I honestly didn't know if Damon Che could pull it off, but he made it look effortless.
Bad Religion NOFX Carcass Dance Hall Crashers Reverend Horton Heat I've never had the chance to see Ween or Propagandhi, but they're both very high on my list of shows to see. Also, Bad Religion is playing in Chicago on April 26th in Chicago at the Vic. I don't know who's opening, and I don't care. I'm still there. |
MOTORHEAD :rock
These guys are older than dirt, and they can still kick the shit out of most of today's younger bands. Lemmy is a god. Tool Joe Satriani Godspeed You Black Emperor Clutch Pro-Pain Robin Trower Overkill These were all some awesome shows, but being legendary rockers who just fucking destroy, Motorhead definitely tops the list. ________ Glass Bubblers |
Lynyrd Skynyrd, B.B. King, and Tool are the three best shows I've seen.
Stone Sour also put on a surprisingly good show. I haven't been to that many concerts but there are plenty that I really want to go to. Right now, Ryan Adams tops my list of "Concerts I want to see before I die." |
GWAR
Motorhead Nine Inch Nails Mr. Bungle Cannibal Corpse White Zombie |
WILCO.

Best live shows I've ever seen would be in no order...
Primus Cheap Trick the Cramps and the number one live show I've ever seen(you may laugh if you wish but I mean it...) RUSH!! Yes, I saw them in '97 live in Dallas. You can talk all day about how goofy their lyrics/vocals are(and who's to argue?) but these guys were in their late 40s at the time, sounding every bit as tight as on their overproduced records. Peart busted out an amazing 15 minute drum solo with 3 kits that literally rotated around him when he needed to use the next one. They may be cheesy fucks, but when it comes to knowing how to rock live, they don't fuck around. Oh, Canada! |
Oxes. Nothing like a guitarist walking out of the club to follow people around outside. They also play on boxes.

Kid Dynamite
AFI Okkervil River At the Drive-in |
explosions in the sky
godspeed you! black emperor einsturzende neubauten the orb les claypool's frog brigade (in 00, not 01 or 02) aphex twin |
Hmmm, off the top of my head and in no particular order...
Queensryche In Flames Bad Religion Crackhead & Ipecac Lush NIN Rammstein Foetus Pig I'm pissed I never saw Faith No More live though. Got into them too late... |
That's okay, i'm never going to get to see Obituary or Carcass. :wah
|
Shockwave was super rockin. :(
|
THE CLASH >:
I've only seen videos and heard recordings of their live shows, as they, for all intensive purposes, broke up around the time I was born. But from what I've seen/heard, they're still better than any other band I have ever seen live. I swear I have heard at least 12 different versions of Armagideon Time that sound absolutely nothing like the original. Fuckin' awesome. >: |

A couple more have come back to me.
Flat Duo Jets was an awesome show. I danced till I puked, For Real! Detroit Cobras put on a fugly good show. (That was at the Sleaze Fest in Chapel Hill,NC along with Unkown Hinson, Southern Culture on the Skids, and many other ugly people). Rancid rocked but were damned annoying with their punker-than-thou punktitude. If you haven't seen Wesley Willis, you're missing one mockable experience. Rock Over London. Rock On Chicago! How could I have forgotten the Ramones (with Dee Dee)? |
Glowbelly, you got to see GG Allin? :eek Or was it just his band after he OD'd on heroin?
