Best Thing You Ever Saw Live

I know, I had been looking for it for five years, didnt know much about bt. obviously back in 04'.

Thanks for the heads up though, i have listened to the show twice since acquiring it this morning

Mine is Sesame Street Live back in the early 90s. Nothing can compare to how happy I was when I got to go to that show.

Pit for Tool > Radiohead on the mainstage at the Pinkpop Fest in 01 in the great country of Holland. The Radiohead show at Roo was def comparable to this Radiohead show, it's really a coin flip.

Either:

NIN in Atlanta in 05 (With Teeth Tour)
Radiohead at Roo 06
Tortoise at Roo 07
The Mars Volta in Myrtle Beach 08 (Bedlam In Goliath US tour)
NIN in Duluth in 08 (Lights In The Sky Tour)


Honorable mentions go to:

Legendary Pink Dots in Atlanta 08 (Plutonium Blonde Tour)
Metallica at Roo 08
Plant and Krauss at Roo 08
Levon Helm at Roo 08
Jonathan Richman in Chapel Hill in 08 (Because Her Beauty Is Raw and Wild tour)
Ornette Coleman at Roo 07
Beck at Roo 06
My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult in Nashville in 07 (20th Anniversary Tour/Filthiest Show on Tour)
Squire, Howe, and White of Yes in Myrtle Beach in 08

Hmm...I'd probably have to think for a while, but in the top running would be:

Widespread Panic 4/28/02 at Oak Mountain in B'ham.

During "Papa's Home" it started lightly raining (just enough to cool everyone off) and lightening just a bit, and it was one of those moments where you just kind of reach that peak of utter happiness and serenity. Ahhh...good times!

I almost forgot about Joe Strummer @st. Anne's Warehouse a few months before he passed, he was just so ALIVE that night, alive, vital and FANTASTIC

6/5/07 - Tool - Greenville, SC
6/13/07 - Tool - Bonnaroo
6/14/07 - The Flaming Lips - Bonnaroo
7/7/07 - Tool - Huntington, WV

I think its pretty amazing that my top 4 all came within just over a month of each other.

This reads a lot differently if you accidentally read Michael Jackson instead of Jordan.

Here are my top 10...
10) Eagles Fort Worth 1980ish
9) Heart Texas Jam 1979
8) Sade Seattle,WA 1992
7) Red Hot Chili Peppers Seattle,WA Flea was awesome LOL
6) Johnny Cash Wurzberg Germany 1983ish
5) STP Red Rocks 2008
4) Led Zeppelin Fort Worth, TX 1973, My very first concert
3) Led Zeppelin Dallas, TX 1975
2) Frank Zappa Wurzberg Germany 1982


Drum rollllll Yes it's hard to believe but these guys by far brought the most energy of any band I have ever seen. Hell The Stones didn't even make the top ten.

1) Queen Wurzberg Germany

I wish I had seen Johnny Cash. I harbor great jealousy for all those that did.

NiN - Masquerade - Atlanta - mid 90s.

Chandler I too was at the Huntington show...that was fuckin epic. How about the extended Right In Two? And the drum off with Danny Carey and that dude from Big Business...that was the band that opened up right? anyways that was awesome

Johnny was a fluke. A friend of mine's wife had tickets and he didn't want to go. She knowing that i love concerts gave me a call and the ticket. I was shocked by how good he was.

best thing i saw live i actually partook in. when i was growing up the Pharcyde were my favorite music group. so it was 02 or 03 and i was at my 1st Pharcyde show in philly and they asked who knew the lyrics to "Oh Shit" and my buddy grabbed my arm and threw it up. so they pulled me up on stage with them. im already amped as hell just being at this show and before you know it im on stage with my favorite group. I sat by the dj and watched them perform "Officer" from the stage, then i got up and did the first verse to "Oh Shit" in front of 1000 people.

i think i actually did pretty well for my first time being on stage in front of a large mass of people.
