    Coldplay was good too. Possibly one of the best. I would like to see them in a small venue. That will probably never happen.

    WOW!!!!
    They opened the show on the main stage that year.
    We had listened to their debut CD on the way to the show..... It was like listening to it live when they played. Never knew a band could sound like that live.


    Oh yeah, and all 9 times I've seen PJ......................:D


    I did, and I was suprised that you were the only other one that thought RATM was amazing live. :D

    Stevie Ray Vaughn has to rank as one of the best live acts Ive ever seen, seen him twice, on tour with Jeff Beck at MSG and the New Years Eve show at the Ritz a month later, 8 months later he was gone... Janes Addiction in 91 at MSG, Tool at MSG 1 month after 9.11. Radiohead at Bonnaroo this year. Many others...

    I actually like My Chemical Romance. I interviewed Ray Toro for a piece when I covered music, and he was awesome. That being said, I have seen them twice live, and I thought they were awful. Gerard's shtick gets old really fast, particularly saying "fuck" in one of its various forms every half minute. I name them as one of my most disappointing live acts.
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

    The best live show I have ever seen is Nine Inch Nails. They are followed closely by Radiohead.
    I got scratches all over my arms, one for each day since I fell apart.

    Pearl Jam and then the foo fighters, Daver Mathews sucks. For all of those who were at BSB, you'll know what I mean. Pearl Jam # fucking 1.
