If you could see any live show...

MRDOOM · #1 04-01-2010, 03:31 PM

in the history of live shows, What would it be?

I would have to say Either when Pink Floyd originally did The Wall(with them erecting a giant wall and using giant puppets and whatnot) or Marilyn Mansons' Last Tour on Earth.

I know that is a weird combination, but I'm a fan of both bands.

So what about you?

Even with all the mud and hype, Woodstock was THE place to be in the history of rock.
If it didn't require being a prisoner, Johnny Cash's live at Folsom probably was an incredible moment.

Well right now I wish I was in Finland cos Tarot is touring, they're who I want to see badly. They're my inspiration to take up music again...

Any Led Zeppelin concert. I've got the DVD, but it isn't enough. I'm a bit fanatic about Led Zep.

YES back when it was Anderson/Bruford/Squire/Howe/Wakeman. Or the Relayer tour.

I wish I could go see that last Metallica tour before Cliff died.

Saw Zep twice. Kind of a letdown. Records were much better.

Maybe true. The DVD is really great, though. Anyway, TBH, I'd probably be WAY to freaking excited to notice if they weren't absolutely perfect.

Of course there are many but the first to come to mind for me is Pantera.I dont really listen to metal anymore either but I nearly seen them in 2001.The gig was booked for September 13th,it was obviusly cancelled.I've also read that that week in Ireland was when Phil noticed Dimes alcoholism which led to the band breaking up.

Not a great country for alcoholics heh?

TBH, I don't really remember the first Zep show (it was 1969), but the second one in Honolulu (1972) was sort of sad. They were about an hour late, obviously a bit drunk, and sleep walked through the whole thing.

I must agree with Jazz Ad. Woodstock!! (The original, of course).

Deluge Of Sound · #12 04-01-2010, 10:15 PM

Any one live show, ever?

and of course my all time master...SRV

Twenty something years ago I bailed on a chance to see Rush in Winnipeg. How was I to know that some doofus would bean Geddy with a bottle? They finally returned last year. I took my son. It was indescribably great. That was the one I was waiting for. It was a good year.

Goatee220 · #17 04-01-2010, 10:28 PM

U2 at Red Rocks. That video made me want to be in a band. And I just happened to be at Best Buy today and found it on DVD - with 3 songs not included in the original VHS tape. I can't wait to watch it.

Joe Gress · #18 04-01-2010, 11:02 PM

Primus.

Daveomd · #19 04-01-2010, 11:13 PM

The Who in '71 or '72

Mazatleco17 · #20 04-01-2010, 11:26 PM

Any Bob Marley show, the one in dortmund Germany is awesome.
