Favorite (or Worst) Live Performance of Any Band?


Arroz con Panther

Recommended Posts

I was inspired by a thread on Reddit asking a similar question.  What is your favorite (or worst) live performance of any band?

 

I listen to some odd music, so mine probably won't be too well known, but I'm interested in what you guys have seen live.

 

Good Performances

 

In recent years, Flogging Molly, For Today and Eric Church (and I'm not a country music loving guy).

 

Aerosmith was my first concert, so they have to get an honorable mention.

 

Bad Performances

 

Toby Keith (because he was way too smashed) and I was highly disappointed by The Chariot.

 

So, what say you?

I went to the Slayer concert in Charlotte (The Fillmore). They had Suicidal Tendencies and Exodus play before them. It was excellent, but the best part was the amount of songs Slayer played. 21. The most I've really heard of them doing in a while.
 
Setlist:
World Painted Blood
Postmortem
Hate Worldwide
Die by the Sword
Chemical Warfare
War Ensemble
Mandatory Suicide
Necrophiliac
Spill the Blood
Hell Awaits
At Dawn They Sleep
Altar of Sacrifice
Jesus Saves
Disciple
Seasons in the Abyss
Snuff
Dead Skin Mask
Raining Blood
Psychopathy Red
South of Heaven
Angel of Death 
 
I can only imagine them in their younger days (1986 or so). I imagine the concerts were less "sane" back then, to say the least. Haha. It was my first concert, and I really enjoyed it.

I live for music, it's my life. I co-own an audio company and as a result have gotten stage passes to a lot of shows. I've been to over 150 concerts covering pretty much any genre imaginable. I listen to everything and anything.

My list is based strictly on live performance and has nothing to do with my personal listening preferences.

Add...

Taylor Swift is still my personal all-time favorite concert. Mostly because my girlfriend and her best friend fuged in my truck on the way home. Nearly 2 hours of chicks moaning, making out, fondling boobs and munching down on each other. They were so fuging wasted.

Best:

Mid-90s Marilyn Manson

Eric Clapton

Alice in Chains (original vocal)

Early 2000 Staind

Early 2000 Tool

Sevendust (don't even like this band)

Late 90s Metallica

Soundgarden

Cold

Gwar (not for the band)

Otep

Pantera

Worst:

Orgy

Shinedown

Eagles

Any country concert (Garth, Collin Ray, Vince Gill)

Incubus

Slipknot (like them, suck live)

Union Underground (like them, suck live)

The best concerts are ones with raw instruments and sound just like the album. That's true talent. Best bands for that was Old tool, old Staind, and soundgarden.

Can't wait for Carolina Rebellion I can finally see Korn and Slayer for the first time. I want to see how Manson does this old and Breaking Benjiman.

Some interesting bands here.  I'm surprised at Slipknot, Incubus and the Eagles.  Were they just boring or what?

Couldn't agree more.

    • I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too! 
    • Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.
    • Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
