The best live act you’ve ever seen

Thrashssacre

As the thread says what band or singer have you seen that absolutely blew you away?

For me has to be iced earth 2012 in the button factory, their newest singer has some set of lungs.

Don't get to gigs as often as I'd like to but the most recent ones I really enjoyed were Neil Diamond and Guns n' Roses in 2017.

Here’s hoping was disappointed enough with gnr last time but a couple more decent support acts and a solid set list from Metallica and it could be a good day

Gary Numan in the Cork Opera house a few years ago. Am a big fan of Tubeway Army but just a casual fan of Numan.

But that gig was the best I've been at. I bought a ticket in the hope he'd play Jo the Waiter. He did and it just got better and better.

I was there too. Great gig.

Red hot chili peppers - john frusciante era. Unbelievable

Strumms

I can’t think of just one that stands out so it will be amongst these few...

Richard Hawley - Whelans (2007?)
Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Liverpool University Academy (2002)(last ever gig)
Morrissey - Dublin Castle (2004)
Rodney Crowell - Whelans (forget year)
The Decemberists - Vicar St (2018)

The War on Drugs in the electric arena tent at electric picnic 2015. Saw grown men crying when they were playing "Under the pressure". ðŸ˜‚

Saw 'Rage Against the Machine' at the Reading Festival in 2000. Probably one of the best live acts that there has ever been. The sound and atmosphere that they created on stage was phenomenal. The energy was bouncing off the stage! Unforgettable experience.

In terms of being flawless in an arena as well as a smaller venue, Radiohead and Blur were superb live.

Love them or hate them, U2! Always a brilliant live gig. Great live act.

With Tool supporting in the Tivoli, around 93? Great show

I'll go with Cannibal Corpse in The Mean Fiddler around 96 I think it was, mental show

I saw loads of really great bands when I lived in Bristol in the 1980’s
Motorhead,Stranglers,AC/DC,Sabbath and Priest

But for pure and utter mayhem and joy it had to be Pop Will Eat Itself at the students union at Norwich UEA in 1990

There's a campsite beside the castle, avoid the ridiculous traffic after the gig

Pearl jam. Will give you at least three hours. No two gigs the same. You're enjoying it because they're enjoying it

Spring Party in 2001 at the Point with Carl Cox followed by Laurent Garnier, then in a matter of seconds they cleared out all his gear and some fella was sprinting/pushing the mixing desk onto the stage and on came Dave Clarke for 1 hour.

First song was turned up to 11. It was live on 2FM and you can find the set online.

Electric atmosphere, complete mayhem.

Here it is:

The Princess Bride

I have been to so many gigs over 3+ decades.
BellX1 accompanied by Dowry Strings last month just blew me away.
It was such an intimate and special performance, beyond anything I've ever seen or heard before.
Just wow.

Sorry about that

Doves in the Olympia 2005, they were amazing, brought the house down. Being in the audience that night was a magical experience.

I was going to post the exact same gig. It was a case of the tickets going on sale right before the band became huge so you were seeing probably the hottest act in the world at the time in a tiny venue for about a tenner. The same thing happened again with Oasis in the Tivoli about a year later.
