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.

coldplay put on an amazing show. they arent anywhere near my favorite band, but amazing showmen with so many special effects, like huge screens, balloons, and lights. chris ran around too in the audience.

I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth. Dave used to put on awesome shows. These days he puts on one of the worst live shows you can see.

I've seen a lot of different shows with different bands....I'd say that the highlights for me were:

1) Rolling Stones
2) Allman Brothers
3) Bob Weir and Ratdog

but I would also give honorable mention to Keller Williams, SCI, and Phish...mmm

Story of the year, or a new found glory. I knwo that sounds wierd but both bands put an amazing amount of energy into thier shows. NFg was at warped liek 3 years ago, and i saw them for old times sake and they blew my mind off.  Stoy of the year played at a small venue and told lots of hokes, improvised songs and didi lots of sick tricks.  it was tiiight.

i've seen gch almost 10 times. and they are cool dudes but you must not have been to many concerts to consider them the best live band. esp being as that travis is SO pilled out for every show.

i forgot about coldplay, they were so good
but nothing beats RADIOHEAD
