Hello everyone.

Those are some pretty impressive lists, and I'm glad most of you included your non metal artists. I am surprised that Rush doesn't appear in your lists more often, as they are my favorite band because of their incredible live performances. I guess I've seen them 20+ times.

I've seen Metallica about a dozen times and Chicago favorite Michael McDermott about 50 times.

Other great shows from every genre in no particular order include: Godsmack, Black Crowes, Robert Cray, Guns n Roses, Eric Clapton, Heart, The Sword, Sass Jordan, Eric Johnson, Queensryche, The Eagles, Don Henley, Steve Winwood, Melissa Etheridge, Robert Plant, The Who, Living Color, Sevendust, Jimmy Buffet, Tony Bennett, Stevie Nicks, Def Leppard, Depeche Mode, The Cure, INXS, Kid Rock, Linkin Park, NIN, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Poi Dog Pondering, Jewel, Aerosmith, ZZ Top, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smashing Pumpkins, Soul Asylum, John Mayall, Mr Big, Primus, Divebar, Danzig, Stone Temple Pilots, Skid Row, Rolling Stones, and Train.

I'm sure there are others I've forgotten.

im jealous of your list!

That's the best part of being old, I was a teenager during the boom years in the mid 80s to early 90s!

Oh, Combichrist x2 as well!

I remember being outraged at having to pay five bucks for two local bands and some band from NYC that no one had ever heard of.
It was the Vertibeads, Scratch Acid, and Sonic Youth. The Vertibeads were so warped by the experience that they broke up and became Nice Strong Arm. Yeah, It was worth five dollars.

Adding bands I hadn't seen before:
The Skull (ex-Trouble)
Truckfighters (amazing Kyuss-ish stoner)
Failure (reunited finally!)

+
Revocation
Ramming Speed
Eluveitie
Wintersun

I love live music, so much so that at least once a year I head over and go to one of the European metal festivals. This year was Hellfest, in France (as was last year) and it was just...incredible. Look at the line-up, mind-blowingly good! The Valley stage would definitely be your kind of thing TheCrawlingChaos (incidentally it was headlined by Electric Wizard on the Friday)

Emperor playing the whole of 'In the Nightside Eclipse' for the 20th anniversary of it's release was the highlight of the weekend!
