Iggy Pop inviting the crowd on stage to dance with the band when The Stooges played Download in 2004.

Iron Maiden playing a set comprising of material from their first four records only at Leeds in 2005.

Metallica playing Master of Puppets in its entirety at Download in 2006.

MUSE at V2001, which was my first festival. I didnt like Showbiz but watching them live turned me.

There were too many to mention at this years Download.

I caught that tour, but in Denver, CO. Cool shit.

I haven't been to very many festivals, but some of my favorite moments were seeing The Roots play their rendition of "Masters of War" at Bonnaroo 2007. And then of course Tool came on a couple of hours later (right when the acid started to take effect).
And there was The Sounds of the Underground Festival in 2005. Something like 30 bands in one day, on one stage 11 A.M.-2 A.M. non stop. It was the first time I saw Opeth, back with Martin Lopez was still drumming for them, and then Clutch came on after them, and I saw Mikael Akerfeldt side stage with a beer, jamming to their set. Other highlights at that show were The Red Chord, SYL, GWAR and Lamb of God (before I got tired of them).
Bonnaroo this year was rife with it's moments of grandeur as well. Tenacious D was ****ing awesome live. Isis and The Melvins back-to-back and then, later that night Clutch and GWAR back-to-back (and tripping again). One of the coolest things was after their set, GWAR came down into the middle of the festival, where there was this giant mushroom-shaped fountain. They knew everybody would be there after getting covered in GWAR juice. It was also nice, wandering away from their show, covered in red and green liquid, looking like zombies, with all of these rich rave kids wandering around, covered in glow sticks.

While I obviously didnt take this video, I was at Glastonbury that year and saw this live. The Verve were great, and it was an almighty performance

Id love to see The Verve live too. Richard Ashcroft still has an absolutely great voice, in my opinion.

I loved it. Given i hadnt been a Maiden fan for long, a couple of years or so, it was a great experience to see that kind of a set from them. Also, Melvins, Clutch and Isis in the same day? Thats pretty cool. I havent seen Melvins or Isis, Clutch are a great live band though. I would actually watch Tenacious D too. I think they would be a lot of fun, especially at a festival.

Panic At The Disco don't deserve the bottling, they are pretty good tbh.

Mojo · 06-29-2010, 02:34 AM

I cant stand them but ive seen bands be bottled about a hundred times. I've never seen anyone crumble like a piece of paper.

He took a dive! Get the bastard off.

I go to a lot of shows but Karnivool are the best band live I've ever seen... I know that's a big call but it's 100% true. They always sound absolutely amazing in terms of actual sound quality and technical performance, but they put on a really emotive show every time as well.

~~notebook~~ · 07-01-2010, 08:01 AM

Wow....

Im surprised those girls made it off of that stage alive...

Im not surprised by the response of the crowd.

Just crazy that stayed out and performed...
