What were some of the best live shows you've ever seen?
I think my favorites have been comedians. Though, I've never seen any of the super famous ones.
I saw Birgitt Nielsen sing Brünnhilde at the Vienna State Opera in 1975. It was hair raising.
During Desert Storm we were along side the aircraft carrier the Indepence doing highline transfer. 5 Tom Cats one after the other took off the Independence flight deck. After that 3 Harrier lifted off and jetted away. The intense emotion that rushes through you is indescribable.
The group disturbed was brilliant
they are brilliant. I've seen them twice now
River dance, Janet Jackson, Celine Dion, Shakira, TLC, Gloria Estefan, Phantom of the Opera 5 times.
I can't decide what was my favorite.
Uriah Heep for $5 just a couple years ago - open seating. They came down into the crowd after the show and partied with people for a while. Second place Spirit - I worked security keeping people out until the promoters broke even - then we opened the doors to everyone. After the show, we went out to eat at the L&K Resturant (Now Bob's Big Boy I think) and sat next to the band for a late snack. Mr. Skin was very cool, both in song and in person
I'm going to see the "Red Hot Chilli Pipers" at the Hershey Theater this Saturday. Looks like it my be a pretty good show. You can go wrong with bagpipes.
@silvereyes did you notice it's "Pipers" not "Peppers? Everyone I tell about it they think I mean peppers. Lol
Foo Fighters several years back. Dave Grohl is an amazing performer and he did several encores for us. Every time he stepped off stage, a camera cut to the back area where he was drinking a beer and chilling with his bandmates and when the audience called for an encore, he came running. It was magnificent and I never wanted that night to end.
I haven't seen many major entertainers live, but I did see Jeff Dunham and he was rather good. (I know ventriloquists get a lot of criticism tossed at them, but funny is funny in my book, regardless of the delivery method, and I think he's quite humorous.)
Alice Cooper, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden all always put on an amazing live show
I've been involved in the Asheville Theatre scene for 15 years. It's rare for me to see a play which doesn't have at least one friend on the stage. I enjoy watching my friends do what they enjoy so much.
The best show I ever saw was one where I knew all 4 of the cast and forgot I was watching friends. It was amazing.
I've been to some big country concerts when I was younger, but the best one has to be when I was at geekonomicon 2015. Voltare was playing a small venue there. Honestly only like 30-ish people there. But I enjoyed it and He truly interacted with everyone as much as possible. There was one guy who collapse from what I'm guessing from lack of water. He stopped playing and got everyone to move away. It was cool how he did the correct things for the man. Afterwards when he woke up Voltare went beck to playing but not to the same type of music he was playing. He sat next to the guy and got everyone else to sit with him and played softer songs. It was a grand experience.
