Ben Jamin Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Says it all in the title In search of some new music! Here's mine: I just love the originality and how tight they are as a band. Cool stuff Oh and that Precision's tasty! Quote
Al Heeley Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 I'm rather fond of the Gilmour unplugged Albert hall stuff where he does the big slide guitar solo on Shine On #2 Oh and a bit of Satriani live in San Francisco every now and then. Quote

thisnameistaken Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 I saw Squirrel Nut Zippers at the Roseland Ballroom in NYC in 1996 and they got Les Paul on stage to play Sweet Georgia Brown. That was pretty amazing. Quote
chrisdaman Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Pink floyd - delicate sound of thunder, that album is insanely good Also, dire straits - alchemy, but more specifically, sultans of swing, and Deep Purple - made in japan All epic albums in my opinion Quote
Wooks79 Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) So far Björk, Anathallo and Red Sparowes have been some of the best live performances I can remember. Björk never fails to leave me gob smacked, and with the most recent show, Biophilia, the bass line to the first song is played by a big massive tesla coil! Edited to add some videos - Anathallo - More Anathallo - Red Sparowes - Edited July 15, 2011 by Wooks79 Quote
Rayman Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 New Day Rising - Husker Du, 1980 something, Hacienda, Manchester. Quote
Bottle Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 For me, even though I wasn't there.... Hysteria - Muse on the Pyramid stage at Glasto, 2004 Angels - Robbie Williams, Knebworth, 2003 Gigs I've been to: Evanescence and Rammstein, both at the Brixton Academy Quote
fender73 Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 ooo...good thread :-) Currently/Old fav's loving Billy Sheehan/Guthrie Govan - Stratus (Check it out on Youtube) Level 42 live at Wembley 1986 Steve Vai at the Astoria 2001 (?) Jeff Beck at Ronnie Scotts (2008?) Quote
jampottt Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Bass related or just in general? Bass related shenanigans... Mr Big - Addicted to That Rush, live in Budokan 2009. Billy Sheehan is quite a monster bass player... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvxyyuZHM3U"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvxyyuZHM3U[/url] In general, I love this live version of Steely Dan's Kid Charlemagne. Donald Fagen and Walter Becker sure know how to put a band together... Perfection in my eyes. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylr2D4Pwn58"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylr2D4Pwn58[/url] I also love this version of Toto's "Rosanna". Lleland Sklar was called out 6 days before the first gig and had to learn the whole set. What a pro, doesn't waver once! Love the arrangement of this live version too.

merello Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) For bass alone, a bit predictable but.... Sheer genius, musicianship and showmanship wrapped into one lovely wee package... Edited July 15, 2011 by merello Quote
Lozz196 Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 If I had to single out one song only, for the whole live performance, it would probably be Motorhead, by Motorhead, on No Sleep til Hammersmith. And as I can`t work out how to actually put the Youtube thingy on, as everyone seems to be able to, here`s the link: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Syq8pOTS77o"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Syq8pOTS77o[/url] Quote
Lenny B Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 ok - 2 of them, both 'in the studio' performances (in that it's all one take played live (or so I believe)) rather than 'in concert' Led Zep - In My Time of Dying Jimi Hendrix Experience - Voodoo Child (long version) Both 12+ mins, both just amazing performances Quote
JoshL Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Mine would probably be 1 of 2 from the isle of wight festival this year(bear in mind this was my first time ever seeing a band live): Kasabian performing club foot, shoot the runner and underdog back to back to open their set. Or Foo fighters whole set in the saturday night. Quote

MattM Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) Look mom, no bass.... And with bass, possible the most...ahem...interestingly dressed YouTube bass player ever posted on here. Fur Dixon, I salute you... Edited July 15, 2011 by MattM Quote
xgsjx Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Seeing Bjork in Vegas was one of the best gigs I've ever seen. Talking Heads, Stop Making Sense is my favourite recorded live performance. Quote

dc2009 Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 It'd be tough, but of ones I've seen I think Blind Guardian playing Lord of the Rings would narrowly pip Amon Amarth playing various things, Maiden playing Hallowed be thy name, as well as Carcass and At the Gates putting on stellar sets. All of whom were close to call between. My favourite live video? I'll answer that when I'm sober. Quote

Red Sparowes and Earth. Here's another Red Sparowes performance: [quote name='MattM' post='1305218' date='Jul 15 2011, 09:43 PM']Look mom, no bass....

jezzaboy Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Man on the silver mountain from Rainbow on stage. Bought the album from Stereo One in Paisley for £8.50 on the 27th of December 1982. It`s got Ronnie James Dio, Blackmore and Cozy Powell on it. Pure magic even after all these years. Jez Quote
