when it comes to pop/rock, i don't think anything can beat this level of stagemanship. Elvis set the bar, Freddy went over it by a mile

Don't love them as much as I used to, but I can't deny the talent here. Top of their game in terms of performing.

[Oliver Butler]

The "One Summer" guitar/drum instrumental that starts at 25:19 was amazing.

[Alexander Davis]

perhaps, but it's still true. tempo's way too slow, voices are completely shot and hoarse like tom waits, and it's the most self-gratifying guitar soloing gilmour's ever been guilty of, and that's saying a lot. it's just generally tasteless, soulless, and ugly.

[Jack Wood]

>Elvis in his prime
>any year after 1963

[Benjamin Jones]

the last few seconds when he looks right in the camera got me good
I started thinking about my own mom goddamn

Elvis's live prime was during the comeback era.

[Jaxson Bennett]

Speaking of musical prime. ZOOTV may seem dated now but in 1991/92 it was the largest and most ambitious production show ever created. The stage had multiple large monitors that broadcast both live footage from the stage and were also capable of broadcasting sat. TV footage. The towers were so tall the FAA required them to have aviation warning beacons on them and they also were equipped with fog generators which are never really shown in the any of the footage. ( I saw them during the ZOOTV performance I attended in Las Vegas). The entire tour is considered legendary by many. The Adelaide performance is in my opinion the closet to what I personally experienced. This is U2 before the hate when they were globally the biggest band in the world.

Elliott had so many fucking great performances.

I can't decide whether my favorite is his set at the Bumbershoot Festival just because holy fuck electric versions of St. Ides' Heaven and Needle In The Hay:
youtube.com/watch?v=O_ZpXF0O3I8

Or one of the first ones he played the year he died just for pure sadness:
youtube.com/watch?v=R57A8naur18

Although this one is sad because you can tell he's struggling and still kind of fucked up. At least it's listenable unlike the fucking Chicago 2002 show. That one just hurts to listen to.

[Lucas Watson]

10/10, this is what got me into Number Girl

[Daniel Collins]

Radiohead's Videotape at Bonnaroo 2006.

Hands-down the best recording of the best Radiohead song
youtube.com/watch?v=DTZt6Dzkq6w

Honestly I would kill to see Radiohead live again but I don't think they'll ever top this show for so many reasons. Fucking legendary

[Nathan Lewis]

Toe's live shows are always top notch
youtube.com/watch?v=e0RWnzd_b_k

Also a personal favorite from Cap n Jazz that I think is worth watching

[Gabriel King]

Bumping because:

One time I went to a NIN concert and he didn't talk to the audience. Supposedly some people threw water bottles and beer on stage and broke some equipment. This was in 2008
