Rank the bands you've seen live

I've been there before.

125.00 to see Aerosmith, and got to listen to a low, underlying hum throughout the show. It was just horrible.
 
I go to horrible coffee house shows all the time but I've been to one really good coffee house show and these people were the best.
Ultra Dolphins
La Quiete
Pheonix Bodies
Architects
Baroness
Boa Narrow
Wolverines
Tarantuloco
Hi Ho Six Shooter
Giant
 
Too tough... but I will say that my experience at a MUSE concert, just last year, proved to be one of the finest concert experiences of my life. And I've seen hundreRAB of banRAB...
 
In the past week I have seen Ministry and Senser and they were both excellent, and I had a chance to see Foo Fighters on Friday but I declined. My friend said that it was one the most bland things he had ever seen, completely soulless compared to Ministry and Senser. Could have told him that beforehand! Why do you think I did'nt go?!

i assume you mean zilker park from acl? hyde park is relatively small and is a neighborhood in north austin... probably where you were staying. as much as i respect the foo fighters, its not really something i find myself listening to anymore these days. i heard they did put on a really good energetic show though, which is always good news. i was only able to make it on saturday this year, beck was good but lacked the enthusiasm that would have made it great.

I saw Living Colour in a small club once - loudest band show ever, even louder than metalica on their "... and justice for all" tour.

Chilli Peppers at the same small club in the 80s was also good.

Stevie Ray Vaughn on the "Couldn't stand the weather tour" Fabulous!!

"Tuck and Patti" are incredible live. Great every time I saw them. Particularly a show opened up by Don Ross.

Prince was great on the Purple rain tour and he was also great on the musicology tour. Got the whole 17,000 of us singing along in parts at both shows.
