Best Live Performance You Have Ever Seen!?

   The thing is that the best live experiences are so good and overwhelming, they're just total experiences. This makes it impossible for me to rank them and say that one of them is "the best". Certainly I had quite a number of this quality. A Kraan show in the 80s comes to mind, actually there are many top shows from the 80s, King Crimson just when Discipline came out, one by Eloy, one solo show by Peter Hammill. Fred Frith's Keep the Dog were great. Recently I have for example seen Sigur Ros headlining the Citadel festival in London and they were extremely good, as were Jaga Jazzist when I saw them for the first time perhaps 8-10 years ago.
Non-prog, watching the Comsat Angels play again in 2009, 14 years after their last album in their hometown Sheffield for their 500 most devoted fans was a unique experience.

	For me I would have to say The Skints - A Reggae band from London UK who came to Southampton recently and played a killer show.
