Relatable
I do occasionally, but there’s really nothing like being there. You can’t bottle that and distribute it.

For me it’s the energy of the crowd that does it. Like my very favorite moment of most concerts is the very end when the venue open up and you can feel all that energy dissipating into the cold night air as the crowds spill out into the parking lots..Relatable

Day 8: A song that is really good live (based on your experience)
the first time I heard them play one of my favorite songs live was at the 20th anniversary concert at the Cosmo in Vegas. It was a fucking cyberpunk af night and seriously, someone should have been surreptitiously murdered in the crowd during this song.

YES. I’ve never seen someone put words to it.
I can’t say it’s my favorite part of the night, but I absolutely love this. Some people have that little spin or skip to their step as they leave, completely high on the experience and it’s shaking into the air like pixie dust

Spring of 1986. Senior year of high school, and my friends and I score tickets to see the Violent Femmes. At Carnegie Hall. We have an entire box on the first tier, roughly where the green circle is.
The entire show was incredible. However…

I’ve seen the hives at least 10 or 12 times. They never fail to amaze me or deliver.

Unfortunately I don’t go to many concerts, so this is a bit of unconventional choice. Not so much a song versus a performance. But I love going to see the nutcracker.

One of my most favorite concerts ever. In 2008, Myrtle Beach, house of blues.
They played this song and I have never been so enamored of a stage presence.

Young Fathers - I Saw
Been in the audience when the whole venue was up dancing to this - the venue was the Royal Albert Hall in London, so not small.
very likely the best live band at the moment, just so powerful

I don't remember when or where it was - London somewhere I guess? - but PUSA closed with Kick Out The Jams.
Six times.
And it worked somehow. Shit, they might have opened the show with it too. On the final run through they unplugged guitars, threw them to each other, plugged in and carried on. What.
PUSA - kick out the jams

Stones concerts are full of great moments. Gimme Shelter was always my highlight.

Day 8: A song that is really good live (based on your experience)
So I spent a chunk of my free time today on this prompt. I went through videos on a YouTube deep dive to decide which song to pick. Unfortunately, despite my best efforts, I couldn't find one song. In 1985, at the gym at the University of Vermont in front of about 4000 people, General Public performed for almost 3 hours despite having 1 album to their name. In the 2nd encode, with their library exhausted and having covered the Beatles, done a handful of English Beat songs, the eagles and a few more I'm sure I'm forgetting. The broke out Musical Youth's Pass the Duchie. And the dutchies were passed including onto the stage. It was awesome and a concert I'll never forget.* Unfortunately it appears there is no video evidence of General Public performing this song, so I'm going to go to a band that always brings it live and this band's confessed favorite song:
The Killers - All These Things That I've Done.
*apologies to MLAS for bending the rules but I couldn't not mention that show after my exhaustive search.

Day 8: A song that is really good live (based on your experience)
I was going to go with Queen, seen twice, including the last North American tour in 82 (main floor center, 9 rows back), but someone already chose them. (But they were so good.) So I am trying to figure my second choice. One of the advantage of being old, I have seen my fair number of great shows. I saw Prince a couple of times, which was beyond incredible, but I have spoken about that twice at least, so no go there. Talked about Anthrax and Public Enemy. Talked about the Angels/Angel City. Talked about Iron Maiden. Fleetwood Mac? Talked a lot about them and that show. So who else?
Metallica. May 28th, 1992, Seattle Center. We had third row seats, but it didn't matter because everyone picked up about the first 20 rows and carried them back to the back, creating a massive pit. Which meant at various times I was up against the stage as we all just sort of ebbed and flowed back and forth when not slamming. This was on their Wherever We May Roam tour for their eponymous album, but most of the set list was from the first four albums. You know, the good ones. Yeah. No opening band, and they played over three hours. It was...indescribable.
The recordings are just so-so, though. So this is from their grand experiment, S&M, with Metallica and the San Francisco Orchestra. It is everything a good live album should be, as well as incredibly, aggressively bombastic. I mean, a thrash band playing with one of the top symphonic orchestras in the world. And it works, it really works. They took it to 13...
"Master of Puppets," Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony
