[Bobbity]

I've only seen the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Bob Dylan - well, not a band, but still cool.

 

[aje656]

Uh...let's see...

Coheed and Cambria- I've seen them twice. Once during their Neverender: SSTB tour and once as an opening act for Weezer. The guys put on a fantastic show.

Weezer- Seen them twice also. Once as openers for Blink-182 and once as headliners for a local festival in Kansas City. They're a lot of fun to see live, Rivers Cuomo is a hilarious guy.

Foo Fighters- Saw them two years ago. Fantastic live band, I'm seeing them again in September.

Rise Against- Saw them last summer, possibly the best band I've seen live. They played pretty much all of their awesome songs. I'm seeing them again in September when they open for Foo Fighters.

[Trololo Punk]

ACDC,Dillinger Escape Plan, the casualties,Andrew w.k, Tragically Hip.

 

[The Apothecarry]

I've seen Tool, Bon Jovi, Blue Man Group, Three Days Grace, and I'll be seeing Chevelle, Queensryche, Korn, All That Remains, Hinder, and Five Finger Death Punch.

 

[Alluos]

Them crooked vultures.
The crowd wasn't going crazy or anything, and they didn't pull out any special moves or whatever, it was just such a pleasure to watch them play.

 

[Nautical Honors Society]

Wilco. It was a 4 hour out door concert. It was amazing. They gave 2 encores.

 

[Crimson King]

I saw Dream Theater open for Iron Maiden, that was cool.
And I got one of Iron Maiden's tour t-shirts that I've yet to see anywhere else so that's always a plus.

 

[DustyDrB]

Wilco. It was a 4 hour out door concert. It was amazing. They gave 2 encores.

They are my favorite band. First time I've seen a fellow fan of them here. I saw them on my birthday in 2008 with Bon Iver opening for them. They also gave 2 encores then.
Have you seen the Ashes of American Flags documentary? Nels Cline is absolutely beat after every show. Not hard to imagine, as they tend to play long shows and he puts everything he has into it.

Oh, and you can find most every show they've played live online for download. They used to have a link on their website for it, but it's not there anymore. You might can find the show you went to (I always love reliving the moment). I'm not on my main computer, so I don't have the link now. I'll look if you're interested, though.

 

[Funkysandwich]

I've seen Eric Clapton live, that was pretty awesome and I was pretty glad I went and saw him.

As well as that the only other notworthy acts I've seen are The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Black Keys, Gomez, Dr. Dog, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Powderfinger.

Other then that, I've seen a lot of local Melbourne bands of varying quality.

 

[The87Italians]

I don't go to many live shows, but Celldweller Live was amazing.

 

[sockypants]

At a festival earlier this year, I saw Deftones, Rammstein and Tool. Probably one of the best ever festival line-ups ever. Rammstein have THE greatest stage show known to man. So much fire and explosive goodness :3 Tool are, well, Tool. They're amazing. Also seen Parkway Drive, they're great live, so much energy, and the support acts (Confession and Miss May I, among others) pull off some crazy stuff - for example, Confession got most of the standing area crowd to lie face down on the ground halfway through a song. Amazing.

Wish I had been able to see Nine Inch Nails though...
