Show/Live Band of the year ... 2005

[lurch70]

so we have the eventual 2005 record of the year thread ...

we need a "show of the year" thread ... been to quite a few, but hands down, the OBITUARY show at BB KING's was a total standout. The sound was incredibly clear and brutal, the band was in prime form, looking like they were having more fun then in their prime (saw them in their prime) ... just fucking total kickass metal.

dissapointment of the year had to be the Slough Feg show ...

 

[MajestikMøøse]

I did not see any live shows this year.

WTF is wrong with me?

 

[Demilich]

Primordial, Mourning Beloveth and Scald in Dublin, Ireland

i didn't see too many this year, so this was a no-brainer

runner up: Agalloch at Day of the Equinox

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I have no idea.

Queensryche & Judas Priest was pretty spec-fucking-tacular though.

[Ellestin]

The Ocean @ Exhaus - Trier
The Ocean are a band to watch live, their combination of rockingness and visual awesomeness makes for serious entertainment

 

[Nate The Great]

Sometimes I sit with my dog and make her howl. That was about the closest I came to going to a "show" this year. So it wins.

 

[MFJ]

anyway, dark tranquillity.

 

[Dark One]

Gotta go with Progpower VI - Day 1:

Circus Maximus
Orphaned Land
Conception

Absolutely amazing three straight hours of live music that was.

 

[snow2fall]

Anathema, Vosselaar
Dredg, Potsdam
Dark Suns, Berlin
Danny & Vincent Cavanagh acoustic, Tilburg
Primordial, Wacken

 

[NAD]

Three Sheets to the Wind!

i didn't go to very many shows this year, but saw some good local acts whose names i don't know/remember. best was Sunn O))), Boris, and Thrones (missed Nachytystmastmsiam).

 

[IOfTheStorm]

All other bands are nothing

 

[Claws of Perdition]

We get bugger all shows over here. The highlight for me was Nile they owned live and Rev. Kriss Hades at Bloodlust absolutly amazing!

Edit: Next year will be pretty killer over here, Opeth, Behemoth(not that im going), possibly Mayhem, Meshuggah. Their is a few more in the pipeline also, plus the many mini festivals poping up should be a good year.

 

[Eminor]

Probably Mastodon

 

[lurch70]

saw some reurn from the summer of the Conan O'Brian show this week ... Max Weinberg, the drummer of the house band (and some famous drummer according to some here) was talking how he went with his son to Ozzfest and how much he enjoyed Mastodon and Lamb of God ...

 

[NAD]

the best thing Max Weinberg ever did was Max on Max. if you saw it, you know exactly what i'm talking about.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

All other bands are nothing

By "all other bands," do you mean all those other bands who ALSO have played the exact same setlist for the past 6 years, and who require a shot of cortisone to get up the riser to the stage?

Sigur Rós apart , Isis was my best show this year :

The Ocean gets an A++ , they're beyond amazing : best heavy experience ever yet . And Mar de Grises are AMAZING...

 

[Demonspell]

Easily Porcupine Tree playing a vastly different set from usual & Robert Fripp soundscapes on 10/1/05...runners up would have to be the Into Eternity/Nevermore/Opeth bill and the reenergized Amorphis back in March...

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Kayo Dot and Daylight Dies
