    I saw the Boredoms for the 7th time last week. They keep on getting better and better in the Vooredoms lineup and I want to be there when they tunnel through reality and deliver us into a permanent state of bliss.

    Mininistry on the Filth Pig tour was insanely loud. You felt everything in your chest and not your ears but this was only the 2nd loudest show I've been too. Loudest has to be Primal Scream w/ Kevin Shields in a 1200 cap converted church. I ended up right in front of Shield's stack and was bombarded with sweet feedbacky post MC5 shreads all night.

    wow, this is a hard one.

    i saw the beatles when i was 10 in new orleans. they sang 3 songs and were on/off stage in less than 20 minutes. hay, it was the beatles.
    elvis was amazing because he was the king.
    david bowie doing the diamond dogs thing with the big set pieces on stage.
    grand funk railroad, yes GFR and my ears are still ringing.
    any one remember blue oyster cult? i saw them and i still don't remember a thing. (long story)
    saw the Tubes when they caught the stage curtains on fire and we all ran into the street.
    a ton more and my religious experience.....seeing Marilyn Manson from the front row.

    Face to Face, 2003, Anaheim House of Blues. Their farewell tour.

    Except they're back! Hope this Thursday's reunion show at the Glass House in Pomona, CA beats that last one.

    L7 were the most amazing live band I ever saw, every single time I saw them.

    Old fuddie-duddies like the Swans, Sonic Youth always have good shows simply because they've been doing it long enough to not suck on a regular basis.

    Metallica. Three straight hours of non-stop rock. I'm not even that into them, but live, they harness this epic power that's simply amazing.

    Envy @ The Spectrum, Sydney.au - 2007

    Despite playing more tracks from Insomniac Doze than anyone wanted, it was still one of the most intense shows I've ever seen. Only time I've ever experienced a 50% mosh/50% weeping uncontrollably crowd mix. The ringing in my ears lasted for approx. two weeks.

    i'd love to see msi, but i don't know if i can deal with that many 15 year olds who are convinced they are sooo much cooler than you because jimmy urine fucking touched them.

    Sigur Ros were mindblowing, Dresden Dolls were a hoot, Polysics are the most fun imaginable and Devo...well, they're Devo. I've no particularly great stories about any though, I'm afraid. Oh, at Devo, some punk guy in his 50s (I assume) had a heart tattoo with 'MOM' in it, but because his skin was pretty wrinkled, it looked like it said 'HAM'. Heh.

    Oh, I just wanted to add another: Mark Mulcahy, somewhere in Nottingham a few years ago. One of the least assuming venues I've ever been in, literally just a room, completely inappropriate for putting on a gig. But still he stood on one side, we sat and stood around, he introduced members of the audience to each other (there were people there to see him because of a TV show he once did the music for, because of his songs, because of another band he produced) and he played for ever. Literally song after song, asking for more and more requests (although he laughed at my request) until the sound guy said he should probably think about wrapping it up after about 3 and half hours. What made it even better was that he was posting a tour blog, and he talked about how bizarre the show was for him as well, and how he felt like he was in a dreamworld looking out of a window at the cars passing by, and how nobody told him about curfews and he thought the crowd were a little out of it so he just played and played and played... it was weird and great.

    saw MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE in front of about 600 hardcore fans on saturday. no matter how you feel about their music, they OWN the stage. its too bad that about 90% of their aforementioned hardcore fans are jackass teenagers who have evidently never been to a show where people, yknow, dance and scream and get crazy, but oh well. it was still worth it considering its probably the smallest venue they will play all year (average show is about 10,000+, but they are playing some smaller places on this current tour), and those jackass kids still get pretty excited-the crowd was drowning out the vocals with sheer volume for most of the show. big radio rock shows (600 people on the floor is about 10x what im used to really...) like this are not my thing, but MCR honestly blows away almost all punk/hardcore/grind/underground bands that i have seen for sheer intensity.

    highlight of the show: me getting made fun of by a group of ugly teenage "emo" girls because "that forty year old asshole likes to come to concerts and hit little kids!" uhhhh, no-im a 26 year old hardcore kid that is used to people not crying and whining over dancing and flipping out on the floor of a general admission show. and i didnt hit one "little kid"- as someone who knows how to handle themselves at a show that is actually crazy, its easy to avoid smaller people with a nice sidestep move. i would break some of those skinny hipsters in half if i did hit them.

    I went to an MSI show last year at First Ave. just to see the opening band, Julien-K (ex-Orgy guitarists' new project, they were excellent, btw). I've never felt so out of place at a show before until that night. I'm 31 and my wife is older than me. They must've thought we were narcs. Oh well, I had a great time and finally got to see a show at First Ave.

    Thanks for the pointer. A whole new world opens up to me ...

    @ joe distort
    I've seen MCR a bunch of times and they never fail to perform.
    I saw their first london gig supporting the used and no one had heard of them and they grabbed your attention then.
    Probably the best time I saw them was at Reading festival a couple of years ago. Just as they were begining to blow up someone decided to schedule them above Slayer. As soon as they stepped onstage they got ferociously bottled but they battled through it and played a really vicous, triumphant set.

    Just spent the last two hours trying to get tickets for this years Reading festival.
    Am now emotionaly drained and mentally exhausted. If I see another seetickets server busy page again... Seriously who puts adverts on thier server busy page?! 'We're too cheap to build a system to handle the demand we get every fucking year but don't worry you can get tiscalli broadband for only...'
    I got more worked up than I do at the bloody gig. I just got the confirmation email..

    But the lineup is insanely good. reading Theres not even any bands playing that I dislike. I usually dislike a good third-two thirds of the bands playing at any festival. Rage against the machine pendulum and tenacious D cant wait for them to announce the punk stage..

    Sorry for ranting a bit there...

    that video of them getting bottled is priceless. i love that band, but its still funny to me.
    also great: the dude from panic at the disco getting hit in the head and twirling down to the stage.
