        I saw that live. I remember thinking "man that was a good show they should be wrapping up soon" but it was like halfway through. They played a 3 hour set. Insane.

            Buddy Guy. the concert was pretty posh (think bankers in suits), with everyone having arranged seating, audience sitting still and quiet like at a classical music concert.

            he was like 'fuck this, this isn't a proper concert, my guitar is wireless, let's stand up, go to the entry hall and jam'. so he's just standing in the middle of the crowd and going nuts, at like 83 years of age. That was amazing.

              Dj shadow vs cut chemist at the Hollywood bowl. It was experimental but quite the experience

                God Speed You! Black Emperor.

                Not a band, but Patti Smith, with Philip Glass.

                In the vein of the second one, I saw George with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra at the Opera House, performing with Jon Lord a symphony that wrote. Fucking incredible.

                    I saw Tool live at a festival in 2019. I had never heard of them before, I'm more of a punk rock guy. Their show absolutely blew me away. Surreal experience. I've listened to their albums a lot ever since.

                      Muse. They are almost too perfect live. It feels uncanny.

                        I have seen them 7 times between 2002 and 2024, and they were exceptional each time (even if they only played my favourite song for the first time in the '24 gig). I also love that they don't allow phones at their gigs. It's great to not have a sea of screens in front of you. They usually have great warm up acts too.

                            So many that my answer is just listing most of the concerts I can remember going to

                            Roosevelt
                            Tycho
                            DJ Shadow
                            deadmau5

                            If I had to pick the three most memorable, it'd be Kodo, DJ Shadow, and The Midnight

                            +1 for above and beyond, saw them at the o2 in Greenwich. Amazing musicians.

                                  Yeah, she got us all really hyped up before Porter came on. He was so nice! He even forgot the lyrics for one of his songs, because he was a little nervous, so he started to beatbox randomly 🤣

                                    I'll bet they are great live. I actually have only heard one song of theirs, which I found by accident years ago when trying to find something else. Everlasting Light, played live.
                                    One of very few songs that completely makes it obvious how much mp3 compression sucks, and even if you download the FLAC (sadly not high res) you can still hear everything wrong with your speakers and if you listen to it on good headphones then you can hear the deficiencies of the mic they used to record it.

                                    Truly a huge amount of audio information in that track. I love it!

                                    Oh yeah, seeing them live was an incredible experience, and very much agree regarding FLAC vs mp3. For some music it doesn't matter, but when you have a lot of range FLAC really shines. This is my favorite album of theirs btw, pretty much every track is amazing https://monoofjapan.bandcamp.com/album/hymn-to-the-immortal-wind

                                      Massilia Sound System. Crowd is basically in a state of plasma from beginning to loooooong after the show ends. When it's set on the port, you can be sure some of us will launch ourselves in the oily water for the hell of it, come back and slippery dance some more. At the start of every show they distribute a platter of pastis shots in the pit. It's not a band, it's a culture. A generation
