Best You've Ever Heard, Live?

[Desert Dust]

What's the best band you've ever heard, Live? Many bands sound good on CD, but what's the best live music you've ever heard, sober or other wise? 

[NAKID]

Green Day

[RVA Duc]

Killswitch Engage

[hbliam]

Surprisingly....REM. Consistantly...Counting Crows. I've seen them 10 times or so. Once the drummer had to leave mid set to go to hospital. They stopped, pulled out a huge binder and picked out an entirely new acoustic setlist.  Real bands can do that.

[Rev. Millertime]

Dropkick Murphys... Both indoor and outdoor.

[LowThudd]

Primus, Anthrax, Public Enemy and an all star jam at the end Featuring Ice Tea all in the same concert. Best performance/concert ever...except for the opening act, a white rap group called Young Black Teenagers who approprietly got booed off the stage.

My wife has seen Green Day at least 5 times and says they sound perfect everytime...

I think I just threw up a little. 

[Randimus Maximus]

Pink Floyd - both in '88 and '94.
Page/Plant in '96 was incredible.
U2 in '01
Alice in Chains in '93 was pretty damn good at Lollapalooza.  They were also fantastic when I saw them in '06.
Social D - killer.
Jonny Lang always knocks it out.
As does Gov't Mule.
Van Halen in '08 far exceeded my expectations.
Maroon 5 is much better live than on album.
So is Los Lonely Boys and Indigenous.

I could go on.

Seeing Umphrey's McGee tomorrow night.

Oh this is a shit on others opinions thread? Sorry missed that part of the title.

Sorry but Live, Maroon 5, Michael Franti, Augustana, Steve Miller, U2, and the various others I've sat through lately haven't been that great live.

Tool in '98 in Houston.
Multiple widespread panic Halloween shows in new Orleans, but the crowd is a big part of that. And a panic show at the backyard in Austin when Howser was dying
