The best Live perfomances ever topic. Post your favorites.

Not really my favorite, but i came across this one and tought it was pretty damn good, it must have been quite a moment to be there. I wonder how many artists would have cancelled the show with that storm. But these guys didn't and actually did a pretty damn good job.

Wait....are we talking about in videos or irl?

If it's irl, then probably Lamb of God. You're always guaranteed a good pit when they're playing :P

But if it's videos......probably Pantera. Their performances are always entertaining to watch.

I saw Billy Talent at Blues Fest last summer and they were pretty damn good. They sounded great live and had a lot of crowd interaction. At one point a guy in a wheel chair was crowd surfing and the band brought him on stage and talked to him. It was a pretty great night all around.

The Right venue for Queen at Live Aid, which is the proper anwser

Amorphis - Sampo

They're amazing live.

GWAR, especially back when they had Slymenstra Hymen and Sleazy P. Martini. Morbid Angel as well.flatus

I saw GWAR with The Casualties on Devil's Night in 2010. Still the CRAZIEST concert I have ever been to. GWAR REALLY knows how to put on one HELL of a show!

Anyways I have to mention what is probably the most criminally underappreciated live performance of all-time.

Dead Kennedys-Pull My Strings

Unfortunately they don't have the video for this (or at least I can't find it), but the music is incredible and the backstory surrounding it all makes it beyond epic.

First off, you might notice how they seem to be playing a different song in the beginning. That is the song that the people running the awards show they were performing at WANTED them to play. The show was basically trying to force them to play that song (which is a FANTASTIC song in itself. Tis California Uber Alles) and they weren't happy about it.

Second thing: They freaking wrote this song JUST FOR THE SHOW! They NEVER PLAYED THIS SONG AGAIN!

Thirdly, notice their shirts in the picture? They came out with shirts with big S's on them, and then once they started the song they were gonna actually play, they flipped ties from behind their back over the S to make dollar signs.

Fourthly, Can you hear that guitar solo starting at 3:33? Holy crap that is one of the most orgasmic solos I have heard in my LIFE!

It seriously has to be the most punk thing ever and I LOVE IT!!! I would seriously kiss someone if they could show me the video footage of that song...

Defo got to be The Black Dahlia Murder when i seen them live last time...jesus christ so much energy in a band for a full hour and everything was perfect in relation to how it should sound it was powerful and intense especially down at the barrier where i was.

Also the fact i got to meet Trevor and Shannon aswell as all the members of Fleshgod and Skeletonwitch made that whole night even better.

Nine Inch Nails has been one of the best performances that I have seen, as well as seeing one of Hurt's acoustic shows however there are a few moments that I recorded that I thought were great.

Alter Bridge - Blackbird, Myles and Marks solos are great here

I have to go with Metallica, they are amazing live, and surprsingly James' voice holds up well. They know how to get the crowd going and singing too.
