None. It's like they've never really lived up to the hype and attending live music events has somehow always made me uncomfortable. Same with movie theatres.
The most immersive and impactful musical experiences I've had have been me sitting alone listening.
ADRV
Cajun and Creole art nerds throw the best parties.
Polysics. Great energy.
Pop Will Eat Itself in the early 90's.
Amazing fun shows with tons of energy from the band and the audience.
the early โ90s*
Half the bands mentioned in this post are from the 90s - or had their haydays in the 90s.
Got to see Chicago/ Beach Boys double headline back in 1989 (I think). Both bands were great. Saw the Beach Boys at the old Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati, OH about 5 years later and it was a great show.
Bad Company Holy Water tour. Brian Howe was front lining the band and he was great, but really would have preferred to have seen Paul Rodgers.
Black Crowes opening for ZZ Top on the Recycler tour. ZZ Top had a great show, but musically, Black Crowes was much better.
Duran Duran ... I was a closet fan of theirs back in my teens. I'm not in the closet any longer. Soup Dragons opened for them and they suuuucked.
Linkin Park opening for Metallica at the Atlanta Braves stadium in 2003. They were great, Metallica was meh, but I've never been a huge fan of theirs.
Live... Not a big fan of theirs, but they did have a good live show. (see what I did there! Yes, I'm a Dad.) They opened for the Counting Crows who were great too.
Santana is a lot better live than anywhere else. I saw him on the Supernatural tour, or at least that was the album he had just released. Funny side story about this concert. This was in 1999 and was there with a friend. 25 years later, my wife and I were talking about concerts we have attended over the years. She mentioned she went to see Santana when she first moved to Cincinnati, which is where I lived at the time... Turns out we were at the same concert 5 years before we met and didn't realize it until last year.
Yes, I'm old.
Joanna Newsom & Blind Guardian
Porter Robinson. Greatest show ever.

Not a band, but a DJ, Jake Beautyman, April 2024 in Sรฃo Paulo. He started his set with the Severance OST and was a banger song after song. Still think about that party today
Quite a few:
Probably a few others :-)
I saw "No Men" play a tiny show and it's still one of my favorites. They put on a great show and also they were super friendly with everyone in the crowd. I saw them another time after at a bigger venue and they even remembered me and my friend.
