Corkus Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Coldplay - The Scientist (acoustic) - Something about 15,000 people singing along to a stripped-down version of Coldplay's loveliest songs is unbelievably captivating, and probably the strongest moment I've seen at their shows. Snow Patrol - Run - Gary did the first half of this song solo, giving the venue a similar (though much more intimate) feeling as the Coldplay experience, except for the fact that the band came in to play the second chorus and brought an emotional rush of energy into the room that was dazzling. Phoenix - 1901 - No, I wasn't one of the fortunate few in the pit when Thomas Mars bolted through the pit in pitch darkness, but it was nonetheless a stellar sight to see, especially as the audience was dragged back in for one more reprise of the chorus. Metric - Combat Baby (acoustic) - Yeah, I'm listing a lot of acoustic stuff here, and mostly all for the same reason, but this one may have gotten the loudest audience participation of them all. You could barely even hear Emily over the crowd. Muse - Ruled By Secrecy flowing into Bliss - My most recent cherished moment and one of the most powerful. Both are infrequently played songs, and RBS had me in tears from the very first note. I really started welling up at the piano climax, but that serene beauty quickly turned into a frenzy once Bliss started immediately thereafter. Weird Al - Fat - WHAT? Stop looking at me like that. I was 11 and I thought it was the fucking greatest thing ever when he waddled out in the fat suit. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian Plastic Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Oh fuck.

coldplay_is_louve. Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 The Who - Pete Townshend gave me his pick, and then gave me a hug. Coldplay - Chris laughs at me screaming like a freak when they walk right past me. Coldplay - Guy waves at me at the end of the concert. The Rolling Stones - Sat in the front row, nothing more to say 'bout that. Hopefully I'll have some great U2 moments coming up in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grace. Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Foals - entire set, but especially Spanish Sahara... sent chills down my spine. Two Door Cinema Club - just awesome. Delphic - their whole set was 10000000x better than I expected and the guitar player kept smiling at me :awesome: Temper Trap + Mumford & Sons - Down River (need I say more?) Florence & the Machine - Cosmic Love Vampire Weekend - when I got the guitar pick The Killers - A Dustland Fairytale: this was during the first show The Killers had played since the death of Brandon's mum, and he played it as a tribute to her... then after the song finished he played "Can't Help Falling in Love with You" as a further tribute... I swear half the crowd was in tears and Brandon almost was. It was an incredible moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 just looking through the list of all the shows ive been to and i think im yet to go to a show where ive been truly blown away. each has been special in its own way but none have stood out. here are some of my favourite moments RHCP in 2007 - Otherside - at that time it was my favourite song by my favourite band so hearing it live at my first ever gig was pretty incredible. The Killers - When You Were Young - an incredible moshpit experience. the band was on fire for the entire 80mins they were on stage and this song came at the very end and still they were as energetic as ever. Pearl Jam - Rockin in the Free World - another closing song. eddie had told the 35 000 strong crowd at the start of the show that he had a terrible flu so his throat was killing him. somehow he still managed to give us his all over 26 songs including this one. at the end of the song he finally completely lost his voice and he left the stage clutching his throat in agony. rock n roll at its brutal best Muse - Unnatural Selection - it was scorcher of a day when i saw these boys at a massive festival. when the band hit the stage at 9pm it was still bloody hot and most of us were nearing dehydration with security only handing out water to the front few rows and the water hoses had been turned off. so in between songs we would chant "water water water" to no avail. then half way through this track, matt bellamy not known for improvising with his lyrics, screamed "give these people some fuckinnnngggg water!!!!!" and the crowd at the front of the moshpit went nuts. very cool moment but the water never came. Paradise City - Slash (solo) - yet another closing song. not much to say about this performance other than my amazement at slash's musicianship after shredding the shit out of his axe for over 2hrs he still absolutely nailed this song and the crowd reacted aptly. we all moshed til we dropped that night :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deaths_friend Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Great song live. BDO 2010 I am guessing? yuppo. but a shame they played so many shit new slow songs. really put a dampener on an otherwise brilliant set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grace. Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Yeah like ESoE. That can go. Shame your crowd was better than mine... It wasn't that bad, though I was slightly disappointed at the lack of moshing or even dancing in my area of the pit. I should have included Starlight, Supermassive Black Hole and Knights of Cydonia in my list... when I saw them Muse had been my favourite band for so long, so I was beyond ecstatic to finally be seeing them live!

deaths_friend Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 yeah The Killers made so many great moshpit songs. i hope they return to that type of material soon cos it really suited brandon's on stage energy and vibe. i miss the days when he used to run around and sing like he was having an asthma attack lol.

Ireentje Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Coldplay: Politik, Don't Panic - Live @ Gelredome, 2005 Not only was this concert recorded for the Talk single, but this was my first time seeing my then absolute heroes live and I had a spot right in the middle against the last fence in front of the stage. The concert was amazing, and Politik was even more touching live than on record. Don't Panic I loved because of its intimate stage setup. #bonus fact: somewhere in the middle of the live recording of Talk, you can hear me scream. I'm the only one doing it at that moment. Enter Shikari: Mothership, Sorry You're Not A Winner - Live @ Lowlands, 2007 Massive circle pit, massive tune. Wir Sind Helden: Müssen Nur Wollen, Denkmal - Live @ Paradiso, 2007 My first succesful crowdsurfing experience, where I reached the stage to great hilarity of the band. This was prominently featured on their live DVD. Something to show the grandkids XD The other song was just plain awesome, massive singalongs. Nada Surf: live @ Paradiso 2008 Just a good concert, but I got to hang out with the band afterwards, drinking beers in the basement of Paradiso. Red Hot Chili Peppers: Live @ Pinkpop, 2006 One of the best concerts I've ever been to. Beautiful weather, 60.000 people, my then-girlfriend and finally seeing them after waiting in the front section for 4 hours. Tom McRae: Live @ Tivoli, 2010 Most sensitive, uplifting experience, the songs translated perfectly to the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
