The guitar tone in this performance is insane. It's like a buttery smooth chainsaw

 

[Shadiata]

In person - Chris Cornell acoustic...small venue. 8 rows back. Amazing

youtube - SRV anything from El Mocambo but Texas Flood is the best.

Pantera opened for Sabbath?? What a pairing!!

Surprisingly my parents went to the 1999 reunion tour in which Pantera opened for Sabbath

I asked them years later how was it and they said "that guy from Pantera was intense, he flicked off our section told us to F off"

I saw Bad Religion with Biohazard at Wetlands in NYC in 1997. Amazing energy.

Lol....no surprise there Anselmo is a madman on stage.In the times I'd seen Pantera the entire band always ripped it up.

Beastie Boys at Lolapalooza in ‘94 was pretty special.

The first 4 lollapaloozas were amazing when looking back at all of the great bands I was able to see at those shows. Ministry in 92 is in my top 5 live performances. Shit was insane!

My number one live performance is Prince Musicology tour in 2004. Nobody performs like that man, he was just amazing.

John Paul Jones at the Park West in Chicago on his Zooma tour in 2000. Zooma is a desert island cd for me and this show just ripped! Seeing him live really made me appreciate how much he contributed to Zep's music.

John Lee Hooker at Fleahd festival in 98 standing about 10 feet in front of the man himself in a sweaty ass small tent. That shit was magic, so glad I got to see him while he was still around.

Daft Punk at Lollapalooza in 2007 was fucking awesome as well. Not sure how or if they'll ever top the Pyramid Shows from that tour. The production was just out of this world for that show.

That's a handful of my favorites, honorable mentions to Phish's Moby Dick show and Drive-In set, Wayne Shorter, Ozric Tentacles, Richie Havens, Liquid Tension Experiment, Camp Bisco 4 and Sonic Youth...amongst others.
