Best Live Band YOU'VE seen

For me it has to be the Flaming Lips. The music was great and there was so much going on (screens, balloons, confetti, Wayne Coyne in his own balloon). In second place comes Kings of Leon, who play with tons of energy and make every person in the crowd believe its 1976 and they're drunk.

I agree. I say them at warped in montreal this year. Tim was so intense it was inredible. I was pretty close up in the pit, and at one point we made eye contact (which may not sound like much, but if youve ever seen him, you know how absolutly posessed he looks on stage), definatly one of the cooler points of my concert experianced.

Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade was better than the Primus show I saw. Tool was amazing, Phish was amazing. And the Big Wu the several times I saw them were very good.

less than jake at warpedtour. the show was so amazing. it was just one gigantic party. random people would just pass u a blunt out of nowwhere, there was e was so much weed, plus they were sooo incredible. the show had so much energy the vibe amazing. they had a figure eight pit that went around like the entire grounds.......so epic
but then i saw them at a regular venue and it wasnt the greatest...i expected great things and although they were good, it wasnt as much of a party
