BF2S Forums Best band you've ever seen live?

He's been dead for years.  Disney's animatronic team got a hold of his corpse and did their "Disney Magic" as a favor for being the inspiration behind Captain Jack Sparrow.

Pearl Jam 1995 Vitalogy tour at Marcus Ampatheater in Milwaukee, WI  (opening acts, the Frogs and Bad Religon)

I don't think I've ever been to a mainstream concert but I hear Muse puts on one hell of a live show.

80,000+ people ventured to Coventry, Vermont during the summer of 2004 to see Phish's last performance together. It was a truly epic experience for everyone that attended. When we were about 15 miles away from the concert site, we heard the dreadful news that no more cars were being let in, due to the fact that it had rained a lot in the previous week, and the grounds were extremely muddy. We sucked it up, gathered our gear, and headed out for the 15 mile trek. For ONE band to make people from across the country not only drive to Vermont, but to hike 15 miles just to see a couple shows, says so much about everyone in attendance. I do not think that there will ever be any band to have such dedicated fans, and I am proud to say that I was one of them. It sucks that I came in so late in their career, but I am thankful that I got to see 19 shows before the breakup. Words, pictures, and videos will never do a Phish concert justice; you had to be there.

Here are some videos and pictures from Phish's final shows in 2004:


I remember this like yesterday. Sorry for the horrible sound quality.


I love this song.


A LOT of people!


Me and my boys on the 15 mile hike.


People just parked their cars on the side of the highway and started walking.


Yes, that is a guy peeing.


This is dedication, my friends.


There still isn't a day that goes by that I don't wish Phish would come back and play again. Luckily, there has been a lot of talk saying that the band is back together practicing again. The lead singer/guitar player had some drug/legal problems, but he seems to be doing MUCH better now, and I think that that was the main reason for the breakup. So if they get back together, look for ig in a town near you.

Almost forgot. Saul Williams a few weeks back was f**ing awesome!

I've only been to a single concert and it was for The Police

I couldn't really get into it and I actually almost fell asleep if you can believe that.

The only good song they played was Message in a Bottle and because Sting is so damn old now, he had to sing it like retard.

They didn't play Spirits in the Material World which really sucked, but I guess his oldness would probably murder the song anyway.  Tbh, Stings sons band that played before The Police did was more interesting than The Police was.

The Pixies

edit: oh and I'd have to include Red Hot Chili Peppers, because while I don't like them as much, they played the living shit out of their set. Holy fucking cow. I was in like... the 5th row or something, and had backstage passes (talked with Flea and Chad Smith about East-Indian magic and how it influenced their light show)... it was absolutely dope. The Mars Volta opened for them, and they were good, but the sound was really bad for their set.
