Yea Forums, what is the best concert you have went to?

Roger Waters last year. I highly doubt (but hope) that anything i'll see will top battersea power station emerging from the ground.

Death Grips in Dallas this most recent tour

This Is Not This Heat in 2017

Machine Girl. They weren’t even headlining and it was like a 45 minute set. Fuck that was wild

Fuck yeah dude, they were great. Charles Hayward was absolutely beaming through the entire set and Charles Bullen looks like some kind of re-animated skeleton. Huge privileged to see such talented musicians get back into it

Where did you see them?
I saw them in Krems in Austria

UNDOUBTEDLY seeing john maus in miami in march. it was like a religious experience dancing, screaming and headbanging away, it was honestly so beautiful. I hardly ever even payed attention to john up on stage, I was just lost in the energy of it all. If anybody here ever gets the opportunity to see him live, please go AND PLEASE DANCE!

Haven't been to as good gigs as others in this thread.

Saw king gizz after dropping 40mg of 2c-b that was pretty unreal. Theyre an insane band live.

Im a huge Milo fan and I saw him and Open Mike eagle in a small club once; that was cool.

Swans was one of the first real gigs I went to and it made me really appreciate live music; I think their music sounds a thousand times better live.

Brooklyn last year, in a renovated factory on (iirc) a warm summer night. They had a Sonic Youth guy with them on guitar and I only heard about the show last minute because I was chatting with a dude at a Jandek show the night before.

I saw Street Sects and they pumped out fog for like 15 minutes straight and then they turned on like 2-3 strobe lights, it always insane. Then a guy had a seizure like 15 minutes in and they had to stop but it was still amazing.

Yeah, Thurston Moore played with them on some shows.

Yeah, they're fucking terrifying live, saw them open for Daughters. I saw the singer walking around with that goofy wig and thought he was some mental rando. Then he throws the thing off stage and runs up and spits in my face. Not surprised to hear someone got a seizure tho

I'm surprised that bands that act like this at their shows are still around, I thought those died in the 00s.
I don't go to many concerts and most aren't of genres where this is common though so I'm not an expert of course.

hell yeah DG in Los Angeles was tight too DG always kills live

James Blake in that same room the Palladium for his colour in everything tour was one of the best sounding musical performances ever.

Alexisonfire 2012, Black Sabbath 2016, Interpol 2017

Radiohead by far. It was unbelievable. Roger Waters is up there too. Gilmour was amazing but not much of a show

Swans @ Trees in Dallas w/ Xiu Xiu

>be epileptic
>attend experimental music concert
what was he hoping to achieve

I mean there are still plenty of triehard chucklefucks at punk shows but it's rare to see a performer who's actually intimidating

It was back in I want to say 2003 at the amphitheater in Tinley Park, IL. Motörhead was the opening band, then it was Dio, and the headliner was Iron Maiden. It was such an awesome concert.

fuck dude... I wish I could've seen Lemmy and Dio before they passed. What kind of stage presence did they have? Was Lemmy still going hard at that point?

can't pick just one, but some notable shows include:
Foals in may '13 - got to chill with yannis backstage and smoke a bowl with him
Hiatus Kaiyote in june '15 - some of the best 2 hours of my life
Len Faki in may '17 - saw him at Output, played till sunrise
Boy Harsher last month - just a solid set, danced my ass off

Coheed and Cambria + Circa survive

based if true but i'm skeptical user

That was the first and only time I saw any of those bands live so I can't really compare to anything previous. They all kicked ass and were more lively and energetic and into it than bands I've seen before that were half their age.

Mötorhead
Jesus Lizard
Toots and the Maytals
Cecil Taylor

lol we have been to the same concerts

context?

How did you get access to backstage?

lil ugly mane was great in va beach last year

sunn o))))

I know right lol, I saw them with Daughters too a second time, the time I previously mentioned was with Dälek. lol when Daughters was ending their set a bunch of people shouted “album of the year” and “album of the decade” (this was slightly before Fantano’s 10, weirdly) and I just shouted “buzzword”

And the wig dude is super cool. When he seizure happened I talked to him after and he was upset about it. It was the day Tom Petty died and we briefly talked about that long Tom Petty documentary

I’d see him for sure but I imagine the audience is super annoying

Jon Hopkins was amazing recently, amazing visuals and a crowd that was really into it.

The ecstasy and cocaine mix combined with a Greek girl I'd just met grinding my dick in time with the music probably helped too lel.

oh shit, I saw them the day after the review dropped. At one point Alexis asks how everyone is doing and some guy shouts 10/10 theneedledrop. And he's like "I'm sorry I asked..." I actually got a concussion while Daughters were up (wasn't paying attention and got kicked by some crowdsurfer) and I sat down on the stage throwing up in my mouth but no one seemed to notice.

Nice to hear the wig dude was cool. Weren't his eyebrows shaved too? Planning for Burial opened too and the dude plays barefoot with his nasty ass ungroomed toenails.

it wasn't as bad as you might expect to be honest

daft punk (2007)

Phish at Big Cypress, New Years Eve 1999

Black Cobra, The Sword, and Kyuss was a lot of fun, ate a weed brownie that night. Mars Volta and Soundgarden was a great show too.

Hm not sure I hadn’t payed attention to his eyebrows, I wouldn’t be surprised though. But yeah he was legit, said like two words to the other guy too though and he seemed cool too, mentioned they reminded me of Foetus and he said he liked him.
>10/10 theneedledrop
Holy fucking shit that’s absurd
Cool (?) about the concussion though, or not. Hope that’s better though lol. Makes a cool story though

I got to see AnCo at Merriweather Post Pavilion for their album tour. Was with a group of close friends from high school (it was uh, our senior year I think) and had a fun time candyflipping.

i only went to one. polyphia, chon, ttng, and tricot.

Neutral Milk Hotel

Lady Gaga 2011 Monster Ball. It's not even close actually. That show had everything. A quasi-storyline, presented like a theatre play. Massive stage and props. Live band, doing little variations to the album versions of the songs. Dancers, lights, pyrotechnics. Just a fucking show. You can probably find the DVD online.

That was legit a really fun show. It was incredibly amusing to see a bunch of kids go absolutely apeshit over super nerdy math rock. Polyphia seems like a bunch a kids I knew who would fuck around in Guitar Center all day. I wish TTNG had their original singer with them though, Animals is a favorite. A friend of mine got to play Smash Bros on the stage projector

Would've loved to see them in their prime. I've heard they're pretty disengaged nowadays

It's always weird to be reminded that internet hype has an effect on real, concert ticket buying people. I saw Have a Nice Life recently and I heard some guy refer to himself as a "based chad" or something

I saw them in 2013. It's one of the few concerts I've been to where I actually like the artist. Ghost into untitles was incredible. Also Julian always looks like he's having a great time.

youtu.be/nh5jOx-DlTw

This one with bones, xavier wulf, and christ travis in a fucking warehouse, shit was insane

I'm gonna see Daughters soon

What should I expect?

yeah, i had a great time there. i would have never expected a lineup like that.

Melvins
Anaal Nathrakh
Crowbar
Sigur Ros

>I've heard they're pretty disengaged nowadays
I haven't seen them live since, so I wouldn't know, but my sister says similar things about their live shows these days. She says seeing them live individually is a much nicer experience.

>It's always weird to be reminded that internet hype has an effect on real, concert ticket buying people. I saw Have a Nice Life recently and I heard some guy refer to himself as a "based chad" or something
I honestly haven't been to a live show (other than at house parties in undergrad) since that AnCo show and am going to see Xiu Xiu in a month or two and this makes me nervous.

saw this in boston, left halfway through polyphia. Ttng and tricot were super dope, only wish they had longer sets, couldn't stand polyphia tho. When did dude bros get so into mathrock

the crowd was pretty much dead for tricot and ttng and it was upsetting

You tend to see meme-spouters at shows of bands with a young internet-y fanbase, HANL was a good example and Polyphia was another.

When I saw Xiu Xiu last year the crowd was mostly late 20s to 30 something hipsters with folded arms, I'd say you're fine.

Unironically Coldplay

I saw The Oh Sees in Philly a few months back and everything about that concert was perfection

I haven't been to many shows, but I saw Circa Survive once, and in the middle of We're All Thieves two fat bitches started fighting and tearing each other's hair out for some reason and Anthony Green stopped everything and yelled "GET THOSE BITCHES OUT OF HERE" and had to take a minute to cool down before he got back into it.

The only other notable concerts were Coheed & Cambria returning to Starland Ballroom (got my wallet stolen), and a free Switchfoot concert at a local riverside amphitheater where a train came chugging by and pulled the horn in time with the music.

nice, that is my age range and how I'd probably behave
