Been to any really good concerts lately?
Going to Kings of Leon tomorrow and I'm soooo excited.
Just curious if any of you enjoy going to non edm, techno, trance, ect shin digs? |

| Gong to see Beck in the summer. Really want to go to Osheaga, but can't guarantee I'll be able to get that weekend off so I don't want to buy a ticket. |

| Kings of Leon are literally the worst act that I've ever seen live. |

| You've obviously never heard the Deftones live then. |

| I see quite a lot of small local bands but that's about it. Live music is, quite frankly, boring in 90% of cases, and I include live electronic acts in that. |

Yeah but do you go to shows to watch them or hear them? I get that there has to be a certain element of watchability to a performance, but at the end of the day - at least for me, at any rate - it's all about the sound. I ing love live music. It runs right through me, I definitely get some kind of charge out of it.
Not everyone can be Queen or Bowie. :o
I think the only acts that provide this experience of "performance" or watchability are pop acts. Dancing + choreography, etc. Oh and metal bands. I've been to tons of punk and metal shows. That is fun as . Hip hop shows too - they are always pretty interactive.
Plus the experience of live music is also all about connecting with fellow fans. Imo. :p |

Awww yeah. Too bad we have to ford all 8 Soundgarden fans. Same happened at NIN|JA- why does Trent take such pity on the 90s?
We're also seeing Shpongle at Red Rocks. Last stop on World Tour. I am hoping it will be an ensemble deal, because just an electronic show in a huge amphitheater would be somewhat of a waste. |

While their music doesn't really grab me other than a few songs, Rammstein probably was the best "pure" show that I have ever seen. A few years ago, I would probably hit 2 concerts a week. I worked a few huge outdoor festivals in that time as well. Rammstein was pretty much a huge production, and just a mind of a show.
I hate Gaga's music, but her show was actually really well pulled off. Have to give her credit.
Kings of Leon still remains the worst of all time. |

| You don't go to a concert for sound qualify. Great performers connect to the audience and have that indescribable energy and improvisation. I'd vote for James Brown (even long after his prime). |
