I'll catch slag for it and i don't care.
Barry Manilow was the best show i have ever seen. We are talking about 100% pure showmanship.
[B]<font size=4 color=red>..the Dictators...saw them twice..the second time was even better...Honourable mention goes to D.O.A and most recently Iggy and the Stooges..
Blimey, dunno how to work this one out, but some amazing shows were;
Bon Jovi '88
Skid Row '89
Tigertailz '91
Steelheart '91
Lillian Axe '92
This year, Faster Pussycat, Danger Danger, Bang Tango and Robin Black have blown me away.
I AGREE 100% W/ ASH ON DAT 1 4 BUTCH [img]graemlins/bat.gif[/img] OTHER MENTIONABLEZ R AZ FOLLOWZ : VAIN CHITOWN '90, WEIRD AL ANY SHOW, KISS IN '96 [img]graemlins/star.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/music.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]
Winger or Firehouse
Never thought a band could sound as good as the CD.
Stray Cats were amazing.
Circle Jerks on the "Farewell" tour ripped the place apart.
Depeche Mode, who I am not a fan, were amazing when I saw them.
I can't really pick the best. The worst are easy, and that was Sonic Youth (Redd Kross opened for them) and Candlebox (went out of protest, but got to see Sponge, who also sucked).
Marillion was amazing when I saw them both times.
The Damned were pretty friggin' great. Pure energy, which was the opposite of everything I had always seen from them.
Too many to remember, actually. Dogs D'Amour were great.
Lords of The New Church held the best memories though.
I think for me it's either Kix or Skid Row with Sebastian. I'm leaning more towards Kix, personally.
The Adicts by a LONG shot!
Quiet Riot. Fikkin' AWESOME, both musically and performance-wise.
Butch!
For musical tightness, it has to be Marillion on the Brave tour. For pure entertainment....Alice Cooper. The two bands which have blown me away this year are Robin Black and Crash Kelly.
Worst band I've ever seen were HIM at the Birmingham Academy last year.
Hands down without a doubt Mista Butch Walker!
The man is a GENIUS!!!!! His show is nothing but energy and the man can sing like no one else!!!!
I'm still in Bad Religion mode since I saw them last Friday at the House of Blues Anaheim heheh - and they were GREAT!!!! As for my other fave concerts hmm let me see if I can remember which ones were my fave -
1990 (I think) Motley Crue/Faster Pussycat @ the Forum on February 15, 1990
1990 Metallica/Faith No More @ Irvine Meadows on September 23, 1990
1991 New Years Evil Ball @ Madame Wongs West with Suicidal Tendencies & Faster Pussycat & Riki Rachtman
1991 Black Crowes/Jayhawks @ Greek Theatre sometime in September
1991 Glamour Punks @ the Troubadour (last show I believe)
1992 Pearl Jam @ Hollywood Palladium
Dang too many to name and too many this past decade LOL
ok here goes
'87
motley crue/whitesnake
def leppard/tesla
'90
steelheart/kingofthehill
badlands
these shows are the ones i remember BEST.
they were awesome
I'll third the vote for Butch. I saw him twice this spring on his acoustic tour, and he was freakin' AMAZING! I might go to Chicago to see him next month...haven't decided yet.
I always love seeing Beautiful Creatures live (they're my absolute favorite), and thier show at the Key Club this spring was the best ever. Dj had returned for a couple of shows just to help out, and the "original lineup" chemistry was just SO great. Plus, they played EVERYTHING off the debut alum. Simply amazing.
DfuckinGeneration - No Lunch tour
The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black [Kembra is the bomb, anyone who can sew their ummm..'nether region' shut on stage has my respect]
Manson - Portrait tour
The Genitortures
Time for me to let my "prudish" side show:
"The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black [Kembra is the bomb, anyone who can sew their ummm..'nether region' shut on stage has my respect]"
EEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW!!!
nah carl, you would have loved it. i can't find a picture online for ya but i have a flyer at home with a picture of it if you want me to scan it. she also has done it for a movie called The Sewing Circle from Richard Kern.
"The final film is The Sewing Circle and I?d have to say it was the reason I rented the video. It features Kembra Pfahler getting ?sewn up.? Yes indeed, it?s graphic. I sat there for like five minutes unable to move after seeing it."
i met debbie harry from blondie that night and jesse from DGen was also there.
you can check the voluptuous horror of karen black here:

So basically what we are saying by the tone of this thread is...If you haven't seen Butch Walker live who do you THINK is the best live. lol
Purple Punki,I'll be at the Chicago show Oct 20 ,If you go make sure to let me know so I can say hey.
Ashliegh
Oh yeah Raggz there is a reason Winger sounds like the CD,I saw them in like 89 I think (Cinderella Long Cold Winter tour whenever that was) and Kip was doing full on bass riffs while holding the mic with both hands.I'm not saying he can't play (I saw him with Alice as well) but he sure as hell wasn't playing that night.
Ashliegh
No, no Bill, I'll take your word for it. No need to see it, but thanks anyway! [img]eek.gif[/img]
if you change your mind, let me know. lol
Do I need to say???HANOI FUKKIN ROXXX!!!
Riiiiiight, I'll do that. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
I MUST agree the circle Jerks put on an AMAZING show, but they didnt touch the adicts, never seen butch, but I'm not as into him as i am to them, cuz they were THE band that got me into punk to begin with...then onto total chaos, and then a global threat, and then all down hill from there. lol
<font size="3" face="Arial">You know I have to agree there...you guys were in town at the best time I think!!Quote:

I gotta say though...to this day Aerosmith have NEVER failed me...seen them since before I can remember, and they always put on the most amazing performances!!

I AM SOOOOO THERE!!!! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

<font size="3" face="Arial">And I wish I could be there...I SO f'n love those guys...they're like family. A bizarre, twisted family, but family nonetheless. I can count on Eves to go molest them for me, though. [img]wink.gif[/img]Quote:

I, once again, missed a chance to see Aerosmith last week. My brother had extra tickets but I couldn't get out of work. I was SO bummed.
<font size="3" face="Arial">Well, I just traded days off for that week, so it looks like I'm going to be there. As it gets closer, I'll PM ya what to look for so we can say hi. I'm gonna be going up there by myself, but maybe I can con one or two of my Chi-town buddies to hit the show with me.Quote:

Cool just let me know as it gets closer.

THE DOGS D'AMOUR 93... Well Monkey babe, u were lucky I can't say I have seen HANOI ROCKS even I saw MIKE & ANDY last year and I even cry...
Okay I was thinking about it, The Adicts DO put on an amazing show, as do the Circle Jerks, but Killingbird is definatly tied for first with me. I saw them back in June*totally awesome night* They WAAAAAY outstaged black board jungle...
It's a tie all the way, and they're all SUPER cool, which also rocks.
Bill, freakin call me! Do you have my cell? If not get it from Sharon, we have to get together.
All time tightest and fun, KIX every freakin time I saw them which was a ton! They were a freakin machine.
Dgen was pretty good(Bill, did you see them at Sea-Sea's?) We opened that show, very cool guys.
Skid Row both pre Youth and Slave.
I also would have to say Dirty Looks on the "Cool from the Wire" tour.
Drew
Megadeth '01
Poison '01
La Guns/Tesla '99
DLR '02
LA Guns and Tesla in '99? Wouldn't that have been LAG and Bar 7? I realize Bar 7 is almost the same as Tesla, but there is a difference. lol
Tesla didn't get back together until mid-2000, I think... And I do remember LAG and Bar 7 doing some shows together...they played the Hurricane here in KC. That's when Brent Muscat and Muddy were both in LAG.
P.S. Ash, I WILL be in Chicago for Butch next Monday. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Yea it was Bar 7 i just put Tesla because it pretty much is tesla hell it even had tesla printed on the ticket in parenthasese.
They still kicked some ass.
