Which band blew your mind away live?
-
When I was 17 I had a highschool girlfriend who drug me to a bare naked ladies show. I was a heavy metal listener at the time but have always had pretty eclectic tastes throughout kife. I loved that show. I was pretty shocked about it at the time.
-
Swans in the To Be Kind era.

Garth Brookes. Saw him at the Tacoma dome like 10 years ago. We were on the floor towards the back and some lady with a headset came up and told us to come up front. At the time I was pretty stoked. Show was awesome. Garth and trisha yearwood were amazing. The stage had some cool mwchanics and the drummer was in a 3d rotating circle thing going upside down and around. Blew my mind. Pretty funny realization afterwards though. The reason we got moved to the front was because we were mexican. We were in a section with nothing but people of color. Pretty funny. Amazing show.

Neil Young + Crazy Horse
Bob Dylan + Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers -
Everclear in the late 90’s was pretty good.

You sound like an awesome stepdad!

I will forever kick myself for not trying to see them in Tacoma in (i think) 2023. One of the greatest bands of all time, and pure fucking magic on psychedelics

+1 for The Midnight. About halfway through the show all but one person went backstage. For about 20 minutes this guy had the most killer synth solo. I was mind blown how well they incorporated the synth into a live concert.

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!

Dada Life. Wouldn’t call them a band just a DJ pair. Only one of them played, but the show he put on was incredible. He had all of the things to keep your hands on the air. He was throwing out beach balls, big blowup bananas (which I managed to keep one and he signed it after the show), big balloons and had a big flag that he had the crowd hold up over their heads, he also handed out pillows for a pillow fight we did.
-
Hell yeah!
I remember the audience just absolutely losing it the first time the sax came out, and also every time after that. Such an excellent band, and I was so thrilled to see how much they blew up
-
God Speed You! Black Emperor.
Not a band, but Patti Smith, with Philip Glass.
-
Jack White. Amazing shows live.

REM
Radiohead
Flaming Lips
Marilyn Manson
Pixies
RJD2
Janelle Monae
