Kraftwerk was shit because they would constantly start, play for a few minutes and then stop again. One guy took like 25 minutes to come out. We gave up after about 30 min and left early to get a good spot for LCD Soundsystem

what's the band for worst concert?

My first concert was a Bob Dylan concert. I was one year old at the time (21 now) and my dad took me. Other than that haven't been to a lot of concerts.

Dead and Company's Greensboro 11/15/15 (something like that) show. Phenomenal setlist and playing. John Mayer is an incredible guitarist.
>worst
I saw a local Grateful Dead cover band in my area once. They're pretty small and they play free shows here. They weren't bad; they were actually really good but obviously not as quality as the better, more well-known cover bands.
>weirdest
The first concert I ever went to. During intermission between sets, these 5 guys next to us took out a belt and wrapped it around their arms. I'm going to guess it was heroin or something. There was another guy who literally spun in circles the entire concert, even during intermission.

I need to go to a wider variety of concerts.

can't be asked to make a picture sorry

>First:
Linkin Park, back to when I was 10

>Most Recent:
Rockout Festival. Fucking amazing, it was kinda weird to see DK, Anti Flag and Offspring all at once, but I think it was a neat combination.

>Best:
I had to choose between Iron Maiden and Alcest. Iron Maiden always shows the best out of their performance, and even being the first time I saw em live, Alcest took me somewhere else with that shoegaze-ish kinda music, mixing it with black metal-ish atmospheres. Alcest takes live experiences to a level beyond performing, it's all about what their trying to transmit their feelings to the audience just by the music.

>Worst
Black Veil Brides, didn't like the setlist, it sounded like a bunch of their best selling songs of their latest era, which it'd be their 3rd and 4th album. Nothing really impressive, there's a lot of effort put on their performance and their technique, but you can't go anywhere if you don't show you're feeling what you're playing. It's the same old "my cock is as bigger as I play faster sweep pickings and bang my head constantly" attitude. Not for me. Their audience is one of the shittiest things I've ever saw in my life.

>Weirdest:
That had to be Coal Chamber, their alternative kinda goth scene on stage is amusing from first to last, so that takes you to a mental state in which you believe you are in some kind of horror festival. Power went off in the venue, but the crowd kept singing along, and Dez (singer), couldn't believe what he was seeing. Along with the weird sounds Meegs (guitar) did with his rig, the show was hallucinating, both litterally and methaphorically speaking.

Billy Ray Cyrus at 12 years old. First concert I went to willingly was an Anthrax/Slayer/Megadeth concert at 16.

Gogol Borello

>Best

Hard to choose, but I'd say my three top would be St. Vincent (any of the times I've seen her), Roger Waters, or Lupe Fiasco. Honorable mentions to: Danny Brown, Nas, The Decemberists, Omar Souleyman, R. Kelly, and Purity Ring.

Worst: The Bad Suns. There have been a few other really bad ones, but these guys just oozed douche bag while showing off their lack of talent. It was quite awful.

>Weirdest
Anthony Braxton, no question. Didn't research what he's been up to lately so I expected things like his older work. Instead got the most experimental work I've ever seen live.

>>73083613

>>73084955
List is pretty boring since I can easily spread it into two bands. of Montreal was both the first and most recent band I've seen and Neutral Milk Hotel was the best.
For weirdest I might have to go with NMH to, but it's hard to say. It was just so surreal and Julian kept spinning the entire time he was playing the guitar. He would whisper "I love you" to the microphone in between songs.
Also Jeff sounds better live than on the album, and vocal quirk someone might miss from the album is there, the amount of energy was insane.

DG themselves were great, but the crowd and atmosphere were rather unpleasant. That and I've not really been to that many bad concerts so that was the closest I could think of.

>worst
Extince, a Dutch rapper who had some good tracks in the 90s but this asshole kept the crowd waiting for at least an hour while he was chilling in the corner with his entourage, then finally gave a very lackluster performance. He just didn't try. By that point, people were already frustrated from waiting, and he had the gall to blame us for not being hype enough. About 20 minutes in he walked off stage in a temper tantrum, insulted our city for not knowing how to party, and that was the end of the show. What a cunt.

>weirdest
The Ex... this show attracted a lot of middle aged punks, i.e. losers. As an unannounced guest they brought Mats Gustafsson of The Thing, and it turned into this really abrasive free jazz crossover. The old punks FUCKING HATED it. It was a beautiful sight to behold.

honorable mention to Opgezwolle for best, they're a close runner up but Deerhoof was just so much fun. I went there with a severely depressed dude and even he was smiling at the end.

>>73084906
Saw them February last year. Was kind of disappointed desu.

>>73083520
Fausto Romitelli is a very underrated composer, patrician choice.

>First
First non-classical I went was Seasick Steve. It's not really worth it to listen to any of his studio albums, but he has an entertaining live show.

>Most recent
Xiu Xiu. They are a lot noiser live than on record, one song was straight up harsh noise. Jamie Stewart's vocal performance was very good, but without the synths and only two members playing the instrumentals sounded bare.
>Best
Micheal Rother. He played stuff from Neu! and his first two solo albums, plus 2-3 new tracks which were some of the best in years that don't seem to have made it onto any of his studio albums. Seriously, go see him before he retires.

Second place: LSO playing the Rite of Spring.
>Worst Concert
Haven't been to that many, but Primal Scream. Bobby acted well as a frontman but the sound levels were all wrong and the instrumentals sounded muddy, which isn't ideal for an "alternative dance" band.
>Weirdest concert
I went to see a local band and clearly there was some miscommunication between the venue owner and the band because the band had only released an EP worth of material but the venue booked them for a 90 minute set. They then proceeded to fill the remaining time with psych rock covers of Britney Spears songs.

>>73083311
if shiggy grippy didn't bail on your show you're pathetic and should consider getting tinnitus

>first
Porcupine Tree when I was like 14. Back then I was pretty early into my drumming career and idolized Gavin Harrison, but a speaker array blocked my view of him on stage. Was sad about that. Solid show though
>most recent
The Jesus & Mary Chain last week. Not as noisy as I would have wanted but they were surprisingly good for a bunch of old fucks. Fun crowd, mix of weird dads reliving their freaky '80s days and indie kids
>best
Probably Container. Played a pretty short set but it was an absolutely furious mix of weirdo polymeter noise-techno. Was stomping like a motherfucker the whole time
>worst
Any of a bunch of shitty noname Portland punk bands trying to hawk their boring demos at the local anarchist library for gas money. Fun on paper and nice to support local artists but man is a lot of that stuff derivative.
>weirdest
Probably a noise show in an old church I went to a few years ago. No one spoke to each other. Most people just sat in the pews and nodded off. Some did weird interpretive dances near the pulpit. Still don't know if they ever got permission from the church

>>73085259

I probably would've put Desert Trip as the best, but as an individual act Black Sabbath was the best.
Unfortunately haven't been to anything since but I'm going to Tom Petty and Iron Maiden this summer and have tickets to Roger Waters two nights in a row in September.

Worst was kind of a tossup between Kiss (who I've seen twice) and Van Halen but Kiss at least put in some effort and put on a decent show. David Lee Roth couldn't even remember the fucking lyrics to his songs.

My friends played a gig at Camp Doogs last year under the influence of mushrooms, it was a total trainwreck but nobody cared because they were all fucked off their faces on drugs

I've only been to see Beirut. They were great though. Whoever opened for them were pretty good too but nobody could figure out what their band was called even after they repeated it once or twice. Asked the merch people outside after the show and they said they had no idea but had been getting asked about it all night.

it was weird, not because of the music, but because it was a halloween show, and he was dressed as a nun. and at one point he crowdsurfed and had his socks stolen. and also because at the end, during passing out pieces, about 50 dumb 16 year old hipsters ran onto the stage, and they had to stop playing, and kick them all off.

>Most recent
Swans a few months ago, don't remember much because I was drunk as fuck, but I do remember Gira cussing a few audience members out and trying to kick them in the face but missing, I couldn't hear anything the next few days, by far the loudest show I've ever been to.
>Best
Kanye during the Yeezus tour, mind-blowing theatrical performance and he sounded excellent, even when he sang without autotune. Very interactive with the audience, and the audience itself was a good variety of different types of people of all ages. Made a few friends at that show as well.
>Worst
ICP a few years ago, went because the tickets were cheap and I thought it would at least be comedically bad, but holy shit did I regret going, mainly because of the fucking apes in the audience, fat neckbeards in facepaint and overweight females with their fat tits out screaming and sweating, holy shit did it smell bad in that venue. And ICP just sounded like a couple elderly out-of-breath white guys trying to rap, it sounded painful to listen to. I left the show after 40 minutes.
>Weirdest
Babymetal in 2015. Went because I saw a few of their performances online and it looked really neat, and I was right, it was a great fucking show despite me not really enjoying the music too much. But watching a few lomita-looking girls on stage dancing and floating through the air on a platform with skeletons playing heavy metal in the background felt kinda strange, and most of the audience were painted up like skeletons too, I think its a fanbase thing.

Mitski. She didn't sound that great and didn't look like she was into the performance at all. Shame because I think she's a pretty talented artist

>First
Saw Slow Magic opening for El Ten Eleven when I was deep into my chillwave phase since it was the first show in my area I was interested in that wasn't 18+
>Most recent
Saw A Place To Bury Strangers opening for Black Angels
Black Angels were dismally boring and their crowd was a bunch of fat, sweaty, denim-clad late 30-somethings but APTBS were unreal
>Best
Honestly a tossup between Alcest on their most recent tour, Everything Everything opening for Joy Formidable last year, or Panda Bear touring before Grim Reaper came out. Alcest show was a hair better than the other two perhaps
>Worst
I caught Neutral Milk Hotel at an all ages festival and it was a shitshow
Sound was bad, crowd consisted of 15-year-old tumblr tykes yelling "I LOVE YOU JEFF" the entire time and attempting sad moshpits to King Of Carrot Flowers and Holland, 1945, and Jeff stopped the show 4 separate times to call out the same kids trying to get Snaps of the set
Altogether really unfortunate
>Weirdest
Probably tricot on their stateside tour, they had a 5 minute "samba break" in one of their songs where they each had whistles and maracas and shit and started a dance circle in the crowd, more quirky Japanese than anything but still lots of fun

>>73082708
Fondants of Wayne, unless you mean me personally buying the ticket then Deerhunter
Animal Collective
Phish
Flosstradamus (it was like 100 and humid as fuck, not good conditions for a rave)
The Strokes (Julian is a weird dude)


>>73088240
they really are
>>73084906
Check out the setlist they're running and if you like the songs go, if you hate painting with you won't like the concert but they're still putting on a good shot (they butchered bees in the most recent iteration though)

>>73088988
Just remember all the horror stories of them DJing the past years. I really like Painting With so I should be fine, AnCo really hasn't ever put an album or EP out that I haven't liked, though Centipede is hard to listen to due to the production for me.

>>73089005
If that's how you feel about them then 100% go, PW is a billion times better live and they're playing some dope old songs (new Taste mix, Summertime Clothes, Sweet Road, and some combo of Kids on Holiday, Guys Eyes, Water Curses, Daily Routine, and Pride and Fight)

>>73082708

>>73082708

>First

New Pornographers just before together came out. No Bejar or Case. Still an excellent show.

>Most recent.

A friend's jazz recital. He kicked ass.

>Best concert.

Probably the most fun was flying Lotus. I met a fellow mutant and a hot goth chick grinded on me the whole show.

>Worst concert.

Foxygen. Guy broke his leg during the first song. I saw him writing on the ground. I think I saw the bone.

>Weirdest concert.

I saw the Atlas Sound show where he did My Sharona for an hour.

>>73088988
Floss are just trash live regardless of how the conditions are
Also to be fair I really didn't like Painting with but a lot of the songs come across a lot better live than on the album so basically what this >>73089024 dude said
Also I caught them when they were playing the bit of Alvin Row so that alone made it worthwhile
>>73089037
I saw Foxygen a bunch before Take The Kids Off Broadway came out because they went to the highschool across town from us and did a ton of free house shows that doubled as parties for us, I imagine they've probably only gotten worse

>Deafheaven
First "hipster" black metal concert in my country so the audience was a weird mix.

never been to one

>>73083693

No, I had to look him up to remember, Eric Copeland. Fucking shit musician.

>>73089024
Sounds really great, most bands don't tour in the summer where I live, and that's the only time I'm free since traveling 2+ hours there and back during uni is hard.
All those songs sound fun, especially Water Curses with their current setup.

>>73089076
I would kill to hear Alvin Row live, my favorite concert experience is Kevin Barnes playing The Past is a Grotesque Animal for 15 minutes, I feel like it would be a really emotional closer like that.

>>73089272
I'd love to get trashed and see Sleaford Mods live

>>73086260
Hoping he was BSing. I'm seeing them in July and the ticket wasn't that cheap though they are with LoG too. Everywhere I read people say they put on an awesome show so I dunno.

Why live?

>>73089299
yeah we got Water Curses and it was awesome

Don't feel too bad about Alvin Row, they only played part 3, Daily Routine was the highlight of that one for me easily

>>73083530
Circuit des Yuex is sick as fuck! Saw open for Julia Holter and honestly thought she alone was better than the headliner.

I went to my first concert on Saturday. I saw Injury Reserve in Chicago.

>only one concert
I can't fill this out.

>>73088891
that is true, I'd still go and see him though

>>73084906
It really isnt worth it, I fucking love AnCo but seeing them live was a let down. They dont sound all that great and they dont have any charismatic or weird preformance to make up for it.

>>73086457
They were absolutely amazing both times i saw them
>perfect balance between adhering to original material and changing things up
>excellent setlists
>they all play perfectly
>perfect volume
>great energy
>perfect amount of interaction with crows
plus some of their stuff REALLY lends itself to being played life, i mean witnessing Exit Music live will absolutely send shivers down yours spine and leave you in complete awe (Creep, Fake Plastic Trees, Reckoner, and Weird Fishes also hit hard live). I dragged my brother to a show and he's not even close to being a fan and he still came out saying it's one of the best concerts he's ever seen. Definitely worth it
>>73088240
They really are something, they'll get you dancing like crazy. It's also great seeing like 20 people. They all play amazing too

>>73087541
Never been into their music but BabyMetal shows look lit as fuck, would definitely see them

I've seen Kanye twice, once during the Glow in the Dark tour a longass time ago, and again last year during the Saint Pablo tour, both were excellent.

Only shows I've been to were the 2 Kanye shows, a Kendrick show, and a Danny Brown show, and I loved all of them, so I can't really make a chart.

Saw him a couple months back, didn't think he was that bad. I mean he had pretty great stage presence and energy, yeah most of his stuff wasn't particularly good, but I wouldn't say the concert was bad.

Never been to a bad concert, but One Master with Bog of the Infidel was probably my least favorite.

Macabre was the weirdest band I've seen live, but they were weird in a good way.

>>73090165
I haven't been to very many concerts

>>73082718
Mine right here. Feels bad, man.

>>73082708
First: Metallica's Summer Sanitarium Tour 2002, consisting of Mudvayne (who I missed cuz we were late), Linkin Park, Deftones, Limp Bizkit (ugh) and Metallica. Not bad, considering I was 13.

Most recent: Passenger. Only ever heard "Let Her Go" before this and was pleasantly surprised. Seems like a chill dude.

Best: Fuck, too many to choose from. FlyLo? Die Antwoord? Peelander-Z? The Red Elvises? The Reverend Horton Heat?

Worst: Hopsin, prolly. Just wasn't into it. Plus all of his openers were shit.

Weirdest: Gotta be Peelander-Z, simply for the audience participation factor. Still amazing.

People were screaming during the whole show and a girl was using me as a human stepladder to shout Andrew's name.
Some guy budged into her and she grabbed him by the shoulder and suckerpunched him in the face. Also, people were moshing during slower songs like I found a Whistle.

>your most recent concert
Jeff Rosenstock/The Menzingers/Roswell Kid. I adore Jeff/BTMI so I had a blast, Roswell Kid were pretty decent, but I wasn't really into The Menzingers.
>your best concert
Probably a Car Seat Headrest show back at a DIY venue at my undergrad, where I got to join the band for a cover of Money on my saxophone after having my band open for him in 2015. Was also just a generally amazing show with all my friends.
>your worst concert
Kendrick Lamar in 2013. It was also the weirdest concert I've ever been to. Was in the basketball stadium of my undergrad, started out with a wannabe Waka Flocka Flame DJ opening the set for way too long, and Kendrick was generally trying to play up the "party rapper" persona to music that was not in any way that. Kept trying to hype up the audience after every song, which was tiresome.
(but Big Boi opened for him with Killer Mike and that was fucking rad)
>your weirdest concert
Probably that Kendrick show. Maybe just out of pure circumstances, seeing Mac Demarco and Car Seat Headrest play together in 2012 outside a bar in Virginia was pretty weird.

pretty much the standard lively and energetic as fuck crowd you get at a lot of hip hop shows, but with way more of a trippy/psychedelic atmosphere. It made way more of an impression on me cause it was the first gig I'd been to in about 8 years, plus Jay Electronica opened and he was fucking mental.
