I love going to concerts and I'm looking for advice on who to see. What bands/artists are just phenomenal live? I'd prefer that if you answer, you have actually seen them live, but testimonials from others are fine. I like pretty much any type of music. Thanks!

if you're into general rock/alternative, The Offspring, Foo Fighters, and 311 are all veterans of the concert scene and put on amazing shows. Another great thing about these bands is that their shows are usually long and well worth the money.

if you're into lesser known bands, definitely go see Bane or Circa Survive. Circa Survive especially likes to incorporate props and intricate lighting setups.

festivals like Warped Tour and the Virgin Mobile Fest are also great, the atmosphere is all about the music and you can see many great bands all in one long day.
