What's the best live set you've seen all year?

[General Zod]

Probably Myrath.

 

[Metal66]

SAXON at the rave in Milwaukee. Never seen them before that so it was awesome

 

[edgeofthorns]

Myrath tied with Y&T. Having never seen Y&T before I was floored by the powerful singing and great songs with some nice guitaring.

Y&T is on my concert bucket list!

...actually, they would be cool to see at ProgPower!

[PromisedLand]

Myrath
Sabaton on the February tour

The Queers and The Dwarves.

 

[TychoCelchu]

Y&T are so amazing it's ridiculous. They didn't just exceed my expectations last year, they trounced them into a pulp.

 

[SF Metal Man]

Y&T are so amazing it's ridiculous. They didn't just exceed my expectations last year, they trounced them into a pulp.

I see them at least once a year. Always a great show!

 

[SF Metal Man]

It's so hard to name just a few favorites, but the top 10 are probably Myrath, Circus Maximus, Luca Turilli's Rhapsody, Sabaton, Saxon, Black Sabbath, TYR, Ghost, Steel Panther, and Y&T.

 

[TheLongshot]

Myrath
Thank You Scientist
Electric Asturias
The Flower Kings

 

[The Surfing Alien]

Y&T is on tour in the spring BTW.

 

[mel_progson]

Volbeat at the Joint in Las Vegas. I would even go as far as saying one of the best bands I've ever seen live. They were fun, crushing and just damn enjoyable.

Eclipse at Melodic Rockfest 3. Their last album is a fave of mine, so seeing those guys was a big highlight for me.

With any luck I can add Firewind to the list after tomorrow night. Looking forward to seeing them with Kelly on vox.

 

[lane_miller]

Imminent Sonic Destruction at the Masquerade. Hell, I picked the set!

 

[TENTH DREAMER DECEIVER]

U.D.O.

Almost made me wish he'd reunite with Accept.

Nice to see Y&T mentioned even though it's just the Meniketti show now. Was lucky to see them in 1985 and the first four shows at the Fillmore in San Francisco. The last time they played all of Earthshaker but without Phil...

 

[Primal]

1. W.E.T. - Melodic Rock Fest 3
2. U.D.O. - Whiskey A-Go-Go - Hollywood
3. Eclipse - Melodic Rock Fest 3

 

[Kez]

Circus Maximus at ProgPower, with a CLOSE second to Shadow Gallery at ProgPower.

I feel blasphemous for even saying so, as long as I've waited to see SG, but CM this year just really blew me away. They were so on.

 

[Tommy3328]

Anathema - Middle East Club, Cambridge, MA
Pearl Jam - Wrigley Field

I've seen Circus Maximus live three times and in my opinion, they're always on!

[zekeyou]

Fu Manchu performing all of The Action is Go.

Still one of the most energetic live bands going.

 

[Hal9000]

Riverside, one of the best live sets I've ever seen. Also honorable mentions go to Queensryche, Myrath, and Volbeat.

 

[DuchessOfDork]

Raven was great at all the venues we played with them at, but I thing Springfield was the best. Ghost was a lot of fun at the 9:30 Club.

 

[VenomGA]

Black Flag
