Your favorite Live show? Options

[Heather]

I like to reminisce about the Live days of old. Since we've got the first Live show thread I thought a favorite Live show thread would be interesting. So what is yours?!


Mine is tough because I really loved my first show in 97. I also loved their York Fair show, I was front row center and they had switched up their setlist that night for the first time in a long while. Then there was the first time I saw them up close at the 9:30 Club after the HFStival. Then there was the time I got to see them while standing on the side of the stage. That Millenium show was pretty cool too even though I was in the very last row of the place! Cleary, I cannot choose!

The Allentown show was definitely interesting with the leaking roof...always thought like that show could have used White, Discussion to truly wrap up the night though.

The AC House of Blues show the night or two after Sayreville in March 2009 was great too. Same deal with first times seeing Hold Me Up, Top, Gas Hed, and Purifier was great.

Another AC House of Blues show back in October or November of 2006. This was the last show of their tour other than a private show at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...Ed had a beard and let the hair grow out a bit. Proclaimed the next Live album would be angry. Maybe the first time I had heard Iris that night.

Borgata show in 2008. Played the event center, and was when they brought Waitress back. During the solo at the end of the song CT sprinted across the stage and stomped through the whole thing. Night ended with him humping his amp during White, Discussion.

Sayreville in May 2006. A few nights later at the Electric Factory in Philly. Both awesome, loud, sold out shows. In the middle of White, Discussion at Starland...Chad went around and knocked over a bunch of mic stands before the solo. The man went off.

And last...the other AC House of Blues show back in 2005. Anyone remember Chad falling down and doing a full barrel roll in the middle of I Alone? This was the first time I heard any of the SFBM songs, not realizing I would be completely indifferent to their existence soon enough.
