What is the best live performing artist/band? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

I watched Coldplay perform live at the Home Depot Center (July 18, 2009) and the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater (July 19, 2009). They were the best performing band I have ever seen. They had the crowd totally engaged. My cousin is not a Coldplay fan, but he truly enjoyed every second of it.

MEW

Coheed and Cambria put on an awesome show.

motley crue, hands down... the band was formed with the basis of putting on a baaaadass live show, and they always do.

x2. Having seen 2 shows this summer. Not only the party/tailgating and friendly atmosphere, the shows rip. You can't help but be swept up in it and start grooving/dancing. And I don't dance. lol The energy is electric, it can literally be like a transformation to a different time and place.

The Dead are fun to see too, but not as great as the Grateful dead used to be, and nowhere near the energy of Phish.

You haven't really lived until you've been to a Phish show!

they're doing crue fest now... i think that is now yearly... and they are well worth the money to see. Though, they tamed it down this year over last and then even more so from Carnival of Sin...

tommy lee usually brings out the "titty cam". this year he did not, i was a little sad... even though boobies were out anyway. Mars looked great this year and was even walking around... fantastic show, each and every time

I'd rather go see a band that doesn't suck...

Also, A Tribe Called Quest and The Roots was/are another awesome live show, they they're not really touring anymore (ATCQ).

evomike · 08-24-2009, 05:57 PM

I go to a ton of shows and mastodon put on one of the best shows I've seen. Iron maiden is good also, but it really has to go to gwar I hate gwar but always go because it's that awesome. Gwar shows are like nothing else.

Foolinaround · 08-24-2009, 06:04 PM

The Who.

4DR_DB7 · 08-24-2009, 06:10 PM

Finch was fun all five times I saw them.

vq35deST · 08-24-2009, 06:22 PM

ive been too many warped tours and bamboozles and i dig Chiodos and Underoath. all of warped tour is pretty dope tho.. thats jus me

**Got Insulin?** · 08-24-2009, 11:05 PM

I was at one of two shows EVER where Flogging Molly played with the Dropkick Murphys, and when I tell you this was a great show, this was beyond great shows. When DM went into Skinhead on the MBNTA, I could barely hear the band over the crowd.

GWAR also puts on a penominal show, but I have to disagree with The Who. Love the band to death, show was pretty good, but with only two remaining origional members, they just can't touch what they had before Keith Moon kicked the bucket, IMO.

DPancoast · 08-24-2009, 11:12 PM

CKY
The Fray
Sanitarium Tour
Citizen Cope
Alkaline Trio
Bayside

what are you talking about.... Id rather go see Phish, OAR or any other band that focuses on good energy and vibes...

no matter whats going on in my life I can see OAR live and walk away with nothing on my shoulders.

the crowds are always awesome people... you always meet 50 single serving friends... TONS of girls at OAR concerts... plenty of alcohol and pot too haha
