RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Bruce Springsteen, Ottawa, Jan 24, 1981.
Amazing 3 1/2 hours
Missed the buses
A cop drove us home. Out if kindness
Emilie Autumn back when she had all of the crumpets. This show had it all! Sexy and extremely talented performers singing, dancing and playing with fire!
Mindless Self Indulgence back in the 2000's. Where ever they were, that venue came alive with energy I've never experienced since.
In This Moment. Visually stunning! It took them some time to set up for each song due to all the props they had but it was always worth it. Like a live piece of art.
It's hard to choose. GWAR, Coheed and Cambria, and A7X were all amazing because of the stage presence
Grouplove. The vibe was amazing and they love what they do.
- spiritualized a long time ago
- the psychotic monks last week
- chalk yesterday
Coppelius is absolutely awesome. You get a theater-like show while they play headbanger after headbanger. Understanding German is a must though.
Radiohead. It was amazing.
There's a band "No Men" ( https://no-men.bandcamp.com/album/dear-god-bring-the-doom ). I bought their CD on Bandcamp and wrote in the message box "I'd love to see you if you play NYC". When the envelope arrived, handwritten on it was "we'll be in NYC July 17th, come hang!"
They were playing a tiny, tiny show at some out of the way spot. The band was super nice. Basically hung out with them for an hour before the show. Their set was also amazing.
I even saw them again a year later and they remembered me and my partner.
I'm usually afraid to meet people in bands in case they're assholes, but this time it really paid off.
Mike Watt and the missing men
Bill Bruford's Earthworks, in a small club near San Diego, last show of the tour. Magical.
Snoop Dog, Korn, Linkin Park - Project Revolution 2001-2?
Carcass at Rose Club, Cologne, Aug 24 1991
It was so intensive and hot, Sweat dropped from the ceiling, People ordered water to dump it over their head
I can’t say that’s there’s one best. The location and people you’re with, the set list, so many factors contribute.
I saw LCD Soundsystem a few months ago in Seattle and it was amazing. Just hands down one of my favourite shows. The venue and energy were crazy, I kept stopping dancing and looking up and around at everyone.
I’ve been a big Phish fan since the 90s so there’s quite a few in that time span, notably Hampton Coliseum (was turned into a box set, Hampton comes alive), MSG last summer, Nashville in 99
When I was a teenager the local radio station ran a festival at RFK stadium in DC for years. The HFS Festival was an insane amount of headline bands packed into a day. Violent Femmes, Blondie, Prodigy, Ramones, Pavement, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Afgan Whigs, Primus, Garbage, Rollins Band, Beck… so so many over the years I went. And it’s back this year!! I’m trying to figure out how to fly back across the continent to go.
There was a small party on the west coast of Vancouver island that ran for ten years back in the aughts. I went to every one minus the first and last and it was my happy place. Wandering through the trees, getting lost in tide pools, so many people you know and love. And the music was top notch. Saw The Orb, Noze, and my friends (which are my fav to see).

Black Moth Super Rainbow at Meow Wolf, Santa Fe, NM. Touring for Panic Blooms. Faces melted.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds is a trip every time. One time he crawled across the audience to get to me and held my hand and together we sang Push The Sky Away, the next time he literally chased me through the audience onto the stage to sing with him, the time after that he peeled my mask off so he could whisper "Hand of God, hand of God" in my face. I look forward to his next North American tour now that his new album is out.
Prodigy at Leeds festival 2002. Or Gameface at Joseph's Well in Leeds in 2003
Dreadnoughts were good. Love me some punk/polka fusion.
It felt like being in Disco Elysium. No, I can't explain it.
I saw Sleep Token this year and I think it overtook Rammstein as a show.
They didn't say a word, just played 1.5-2 hours of music back to back and then left. Incredible lights, incredible precision, and all business
I've never been a concert. At least not so far
Thanks for the info.
I like tomatoes.
Who's next?
