Share bands here that you think put on awesome live performances. Share your experiences if you want.

Kittie is an awesome band live...atleast the first time that I saw them. The second time was good as well, but they seemed a bit tired. But really...they put on a kick ass live show...and stick around a long time afterwards to talk with fans and such.

Schoolyard heroes are a Seattle band..female fronted. Overall they're amazing live...and the singer is godly. Their music style is essentially indie/rock..with a sci-fi/horror twist.

I saw Cryptopsy awhile back when I was in Seattle. They were pretty crazy live..but the whole worm eating thing was a bit much.

Anywho..share your experiences or simply recommend bands that put on great shows.

Only bands I've ever seen live were Trans Siberian Orchestra, Otep, and Static-X. I'll admit..they're all amazing live when it comes to the ability to sing. Static-X and Otep are good at getting the crowd going as well. Trans Siberian Orchestra by far has the most amazing show, though. Haven't been to any other concerts though, but soon enough..here's hoping..>_<

Without a doubt, for me the best live performence was none other then Pink Floyd.

The live show, is amazing. There are tons of things to watch as you listen to the music.

Here are some examples:

on a bit of a flip side. Bad Luck 13 Roit Extravaganza! In the homage of Sid Vicious, this band is a hardcore Punk band that there goal is to piss off everyone and cause a riot. Which they do every show.

A riot in progress.

I saw John Mayer last tuesday night and he is ****ing amazing live. He sounds even better with the type of atmosphere that is there and the improvised solos add a nice kick to something that your used to hearing a certain way.

Plus the weed there floated over the crowd like fog.

Joe's Garage.
Opeth are pretty good... they recreate their music so well live.

As for a live show being awesome Cradle of Filth does some pretty good shit.

I really enjoy Lifehouse live. Nothing like a good steady beat.

ICP is pretty much one of the best stage performances ever. Not saying that it's good music to listen to live, cause a lot of their shit is screwed and chopped up (listen to rap and you know what I mean) horribly, but their stage presence is undeniable.

Favorite live band is Mudvayne though. Seen them what, like 5 times now, and I still rock it.

You've never seen Flaming Lips live then.

Probably John Mayer.

Dave Matthews Band. Even if you don't like the music, you gotta respect the talent the band has. Especially the drummer and the guy with the violen.
