Stokesy10 Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Bit of a random one but underrated, Ooh, Stick You, by Daphne & Celeste is criminally underrated. Either that or Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrZigster Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 I go with, "My favourite live album is probably Live Rust - Neil Young & Crazy Horse, but I couldn't pick a favourite track". I'd probably pick a different album tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilgamesh69 Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Never seen them myself but I've always thought that "Enter Sandman" by "Metallica" would go off live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackZeppelin Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Watch "Confidence Man - live at Golden Plains 2017" on YouTube Not the best, obviously but just for the pure fun of it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyDunlop Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 As a "communal experience", i.e Live with fans singing along with it - "Wake Up" by Arcade Fire is right up there for me. Infinitely better than a recording. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 In terms of getting a crowd going nothing has ever beaten Pulp’s Common People for me, especially when they used to do the really slow build up and everyone would go apeshit when it all kicked in at “she just smiled and held my hand!” Also, despite years of nonsense from Muse, I’ll never get tired of that massive, face shredding riff that kicks in at the end of Knights of Cydonia. That whole song is just ridiculous live. Then there’s this, not even their best tune, but if you were there you’d understand… 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deaf Nobby Burton Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) At Glastonbury it’s this for me, but mainly because we were in the pit about 3/4 from the front and had started on some of our naughty stuff during TLSP, so we were very much peaking for this. The moment when the confetti cannons went off still gives me goosebumps, at the time I thought I was in heaven or something: Edited February 11, 2022 by Deaf Nobby Burton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very young henry bear is in the audience at this one: Ah yes. Queen. Today, my favourite live album will be Live Killers. Now I'm Here and Love Of My Life stand out for the singalongs. But again hard to pick a favourite track overall. Part of my record collection when I only had about half a dozen or so bits of 12" vinyl. (My pocket money only really stretched to singles. Think this was a with Christmas money buy. Also remember going into the local record shop intending to buy something different and being turned onto this by the owner).

gigpusher Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Ah so many answers to this question. For ones I have seen live and experienced I could pick hundreds even if I just went off Glastonbury performances but when I first read it the first thought that came into my head was Karma Police. My first Glastonbury I remember seeing (well more accurately hearing as I couldn't see a thing) Thom and Jonny playing the Park back in the day of the secret set. After the gig you could hear people singing this over and over literally from the Park to the Pyramid stage. Gave me full goosebumps then and even today thinking about it, it does the same. So yes as @MrZigstersays the answer could change many times a day but right now I'm kind of loving that memory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them at Hyde Park in 2012 and I've rarely ever seen a crowd go off like it did for Intermission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is something special about a song that keeps on going even after the band have stopped. You know you've been to a special gig when the audience leaves still singing.

First saw them when I was 15 headlining Leeds Fest after The Strokes (who I bought the ticket for) had disappointed me. One of the best sets I’ve seen with Common People being the obvious highlight. In fact the other day I went to that weekend was closed by Knights of Cydonia. Anyway this is my actual answer. Will never understand how huge they make it sound. First time I saw them I was stood there in awe. Brother who doesn’t remotely like him looked at me like “what the fuck was that”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
