What concerts have you been to and which were your favs...

AlmaOttawaMA and Amanda Labelle also showed interest in Rancid in this thread. I downloaded the SNL episode from archive dot org, (they have complete copies of almost every SNL episode there), and I extracted the Rancid performances.

I'm not sure if the December, 1994 SNL episode with George Foreman hosting is the original broadcast, or a repeat. Hole was musical guest, and during Violet, Courtney Love flashed the audience; she put a foot on top of her sound monitor, while commando, (she was shaved). In the rerun, that scene was replaced with a loop of a different portion of the song repeated. Downloading now; stay tuned.

I love punk and band like Rancid, Wizo, Screeching Weasel, Green Day and NOFX. Saw some in shows but strangely, one of the best show I have seen in the punk department was The Offsprings. It was insane.

Coutney Love flashes at about 2:40 into the Violet clip.

Hole fans should check out this full pro-shot 1994 concert on YouTube, from the Live Through This tour:

Posted by Larry Schemel, brother of Patti, the band's drummer. Two songs from this show aired on ABC in Concert in November, 1994. There's also an amateur-shot concert video from Washington, DC on that tour circulating, (I have it on VHS casette), and an excellent bootleg CD named Pretty in Pink, of most of the show from Toad's Place, New Haven Connecticut:

In the early to mid 1970's, many acts performed on live TV in the UK on BBC in Concert, often backed by the BBC orchestra. The musician's union was very strong, and there were very strict limits about how much studio-recorded music could be played on the radio and television; songs that were topping the pop charts were only allowed to be played two or three times per week on radio. Bands gained additional exposure by playing live in the BBC radio studio, (John Peel Sessions), or in concerts filmed for television. This is one of the reasons why British Rock bands from that period were generally better live performers than North American counterparts. Here are three BBC in Concert shows, rebroadcast on BBC 4 about ten years ago.

I would have loved to have seen those three concerts. They were all favourites of mine.

Best concert ever:



Honourable mention to Roger Waters "The Wall" (which I saw 3 times at 3 different venues from 2010 to 2013).

Without a doubt THEE most impressive concert I've ever seen. (And I've seen Waters at least 10 times live and looking forward to his concert next summer.)

I look forward to the re-opening of Massey Hall in November, even though I only remember seeing LL COOL J and ERASURE at the historic venue.
