Best concert you've ever been to..

[NoraNeko]

.. I guess this has been asked before but what the hell.

My best one's gotta be Cannibal Corpse +Vomitory as support last year.. damn that was crazy.

 

[Soul Forlorn]

Why, Opeth and Amorphis, House of Blues, Chicago, April, 2001, of course!

 

[Sadistik]

Opeth and Nevermore was amazing....Testament (w.Lombardo and Murphy still playing) + The haunted in '99 was amzing as well

 

[Unhallowed]

Two bands that I have enjoyed the most when seeing them live:

Megadeth / Oulu, Finland '01
This was the second time I saw Megadeth live, I couldn't believe it how great it was. The first time was not that great, so I didn't expect that much .. but boy was I wrong! Best show EVER. The band was totally into it, and so was the audience! "Wake Up Dead" and "Reckoning Day" were the highlights of the show to me.

Hypocrisy / DOA, Holland '99
This also I couldn't believe if it was real or not. I didn't think Hypocrisy's music would be so powerful live. I have never heard the audience to be so much into something, not even during Metallica. Too bad I missed the first song (Roswell 47), because I was watching The Gathering at the main stage.. but ran like hell to the second stage right after they finished.. I'm glad I did

my first, and ironicly (sp?) their last (in England), Smashing Pumpkins - Nov 4th 2000. 2 hours of non stop singing, wow! the atmosphere during Tonight, Tonnight and Today was great, couldnt even hear Billy sing, just the crowd. Katatonia would come a close second i think, and Stampin' Ground (best live performance ive seen, about 20 times better than a fucking awesome cd)

i think the Opeth/Katatonia/Novembre could soon be my fav gig yet though :hotjump: :hotjump: :hotjump:

 

[Heliologue]

fuckin' a, soul forlorn! i was there! and it was my first concert ever! how about that for a baptism by fire!

 

[StorTroll]

The Haunted in Helsinki on May 12th, In Flames at Tuska Metal,
Slayer´s Tattoo the Planet gig...

 

[Jim LotFP]

Either Opeth/Amorphis/Novembers Doom in Chicago at the House of Blues in April 2001...

Or ProgPower these past couple days. SWANO! NIGHTINGALE!!

 

[MetalManCPA]

No lashes now, but the best concert (the one I enjoyed the most) I've seen to date was Korn. Probably because I knew every song - I was just singing and sweating the whole night. If I was able to see Opeth/Nevermore back in May, I know that would of been my #1.

Honorable mention to:
Santana - cleanest/best sound

let me be first one to say... and as for Santana, do you notice their influence in Harvest near the end of the song?
anyway, im glad your being honest though about Korn, cant say i like them but im glad anyway, no secrets on this board.

[Graveless Soul]

Easy one this:

Porcupine Tree at Shepherds Bush Empire , 11 May 2001.

Ever felt like you were floating above the crowd? OH MY GOD, the soundscapes......

 

[Alucard]

My best show was probably Nevermore/Opeth/Angel Dust in Brooklyn. Runners up: both Dream Theater shows in Philly during the Metropolis 2000 tour, and Cradle of Filth w/ Nile in New York last summer.

 

[Blackspirit]

Seeing a local band called Second Time was
really special for me, because it was the first
time I heard real-REAL metal live!
But, this summer, seeing Opeth and then
In Flames was the best concert ever.
I didn't want it to end.
For the first time in my life I heard goooood
music played right in front of me!!

 

[from the Cradle]

Death in Milano, in October 1998.
But I wait Opeth/Katatonia in 21th november 2001...
