What are yours? A lot of bands are decent live, but there are always those select few that just blow you away with presence and skill.

Machine Head 07 was one of the most charged atmospheres I’d ever seen. Downright ferocity.

Steel Panther this year was just purely entertaining. I haven’t had as much fun at a concert before. I’m also seeing Muse in a few days, have VERY high expectations from what I’ve seen of them. World’s Best Live Act title isn’t gained easily, after all.

I also hope to see Between the Buried and Me opening for Lamb of God in February of next year.

The best act I’ve seen live so far probably goes to Dream Theater. I simply cannot get over how good they sounded, and the unity of the crowd atmosphere.

Other hopefuls in the future:

Iron Maiden

Motorhead

Symphony X

Cynic
