Best live shows?
Clutch- seen em once a year for the past 20 years....never disappoint.
Black Sabbath- back in the 90s when it was full Sabbath, first couple of tours were great.
White Zombie- not Rob...White. They were amazing live.
Pantera- again seen em a lot. Never recall a bad show. Even if Phil was "gone" the band was killer and the audience tended to drown out Phil anyways.
Slayer- They played a small club in my home town as a pretour show years ago. Awesome night.
Cavalera - The 20th anniversary of Sepultura Roots tour. I saw it in 1996 and the 2016 show was even better.

Type O Negative - Anyone who knew Peter Steele or saw them a lot knows dude had a sense of humor. Always at least one funny thing or prank per show.
They use to throw TP on stage while other bands played. One night I saw them with Life of Agony and the LOA guys TPed them while they played. It was really cool, it was like it was snowing while they played. No one missed a beat and just kept playing like nothing was happening until the whole stage was white.

 

On of the best shows I enjoyed live was Radiohead back in....I want to say 1997. Awesome show. BB King live was something else as well, back in the 90s.

one of my favourites to see live was Ashley MacIsaac. Hes so damn entertaining. I caught him whenever I could.

ThIs year I Saw Mumford & Sons which was surprising more energetic than I was expecting. The most recent show I caught was Goo Goo Dolls and Collective Soul. They were so jazzed to be preforming, I got te sense they really love live shows, which always amps up the energy as well.

 

I really wanna see Radiohead. I'm a huge fan. But unfortunately they haven't played here for a long time.

 

I'm in Australia they were here a few years ago but only over east. I'm west.
Couldn't afford to fly over so missed out.

Flew over to see Metallica tho.

 

Has it happens I am British.
Just living here.
Yeah hope so.

 

Yeah it's a big effort for bands to tour down here.
At least we got the weather

 

LOA is an all time fav band. Loved catching Type O whenever they came through. I live in a good place between Nashville, Knoxville, and Atlanta so the 90s were a good time for me catching bands. Clutch plays here at least once a year.

Just caught Puscifer and must say it is an amazing show. If you have not been I suggest going. No cameras or phones aloud out at all. It was like a show back in the day where you saw the band and not every bodies phone up.

 

I can see that about him and the show. I like the showmanship of "trying" to put on a show. I miss White Zombie as their shows were very visual. When I saw Rob Zombie it was ehh. I was expecting a spectacle and was not disappointed with Maynard's show. That and one of the best "sounding" live shows I have been to. I had reservations about going as I hate loving music that is recorded only to find that live the band sucks.

 

oh no they did not take them and it was handled politely. A sign in the front of the auditorium said no phone use inside. Step out or keep it put away. Then an announcement before show starts and ushers made sure to take notice and say something. Again it was done in a nice manner. Lastly before the show starts a video of Maynard again states you will be asked to leave if the phone comes out.
Most shows I too prefer band, amps, and go! Years ago Down did a series of an evening with Down that were stripped down shows. Slayer played a dive bar I mentioned before in my town. No room for frills. Don't know if you are into punk or country but Hank 3 comes around to buy shine off a friends neighbor and he will sit and play a spell too. Those are priceless.

Hank 3, plays old style country music as well as has a punk/metal band Assjack. Played bass for Superjoint Ritual as well.
When he plays his grandfathers music it is downright creepy. He sounds just like him.
