He kept talking about how he wanted his 'hot liquor'.. Perhaps he wanted to drown out the experience of playing in Norwich..

well the best gig i ever saw was tool in june ´92 in LA...what an excellent display of power, from these by then unknown young men...

as for the worst concert i had the "pleasure" to witness probably was Rammstein in `99 in Colongne....and man..did they suck...and no firecracker-lightshow could compensate for the **** they played together...-.- i don`t know what the matter was..maybe they were drunk or drugged by some potion...who knows...but for me, it was a wast of money...

Best

The Mars Volta '07 at Terminal 5 in NYC - This was my second time seeing TMV but the first time seeing them headline with no opener. I can honestly say that while being one of my favorite bands, their live videos on youtube did not match their studio work. This show however defied all of my doubts and I really can't put into words how it made me feel. usually I'm a mellow person who likes to soak in the performance instead of going crazy in the crowd but something cam over me that I can't describe. I went a little too crazy because I broke my glasses and had to walk home with my buddy blind as hell through the streets of NYC. I felt like Hellen Keller cause I was blind and deaf from the concert. Awesome experience though.

Also...

Godspeed You Black Emperor '11 at Terminal 5 in NYC - Funny how my best two concerts happened to be at the same place. Again, not many words to describe my feelings here. I've never been to a louder concert. You could not escape the sound. It penetrated you. I'll rememebr for the rest of my life GYBE playing "static" while the projection screen behind them displayed the scenes of an factory fire for 20 minutes. As intense as a concert could ever be.

Worst

While the music wasn't that bad, I was so disappointed seeing red Hot Chilli Peppers. This was right after they released Stadium Arcadium and they played at the Continental Airlines Arena in New Jersey. The whole thing felt like I was at a Neil ****ing Diamond concert the way that there were old people everywhere singing while the lyrics displayed on the JUMBO screen. It was the chilli peppers that I came to see but what do you exoect when you go see them at a venue of that size. Their intimate shows are over.

Besides that every headlining band I've seen has been the right choice. Some opening bands though failed miserably, but I didn't go to see them They include...

Tapes n Tapes
Darkest Hour
Digitalism
Minus the Bear (like the band though)
Various bands that have opened for my friends band.

Hah he's awesome... It was funny hearing him talk about his dog though, he was just laughing all the time because his dog was ill... He musta taken something just before he came on stage, he seemed pretty out of it.. *Sigh* Good gig though, good gig..

did he dedicate "funeral of hearts" to his pooch? that would be fitting.

EDGE · 05-04-2005, 05:26 PM

Laugh if you must.
Fear before was pretty ****ing good live. They got the crowd going.
Funeral for a Friend also.
I saw sparta a few months ago. Didn't like it too much.
Can't say the were the WORST but not good. At all.

hands down without a doubt the worst live band i have ever seen is BOSTON. they went on tour a couple of years ago and they were so bad that people actually started to leave. within fifteen minutes or so the venue was literally empty. motley crue pretty much suck too. metallica and tesla are awesome live.

i've seen a lot of good music, so i don't know about the best.
