I absolutely dig live performances, and here's my list (WIP - going to add more!!)
If you have seen that music documentary/biography which you'd recommend, this thread is the place. (Genre No Bar)
=============================================================================================================================
Live/Concerts -
1. Alice In Chains (Grunge)
- MTV unplugged - 5/5 (Classic)
The famed rock outfit belonging to the grunge era has quickly become my favorite, Pearl Jam's (Ten) being a close 2nd. The atmosphere here is somber, almost morbid. This was Layne's last live performance (similarities with Cobain's Unplugged performance). One of those bands which has the power to affect your mood.
2. ANTHRAX (Thrash)

Music of Mass Destruction: Live from Chicago (Video 2004) - IMDb

Not a huge fan but this concert is pretty decent.
