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.

For me, it was the entire Rock The Bells show, especially Rage. Rage killed it.

When I saw the Chili Peppers, the only person on stage who was exceptional was Flea, Anthony Kiedis's voice was so off on most of the songs, at least the Foo Fighters kicked ass beforehand.

i can't beat it, but i can match it and say that i saw them too, and i agree that it was a great show.

i can now add the john butler trio to this list, it was one of the best shows i've ever been to, possibly the best.

Rise Against is probably the best band ive seen live just because they sound exactly the same as they do on record...
