The crowd wasn't really going crazy but you don't really go crazy at an EitS concert. Everyone in the crowd was high and just absolutely starstruck by how amazing the live performance was. It was mind blowing.
Deadmau5 came to detroit. His opener was 2 hours. Deadmau5 himself played from like 10 to 3:30. Would've been better if the guy to girl ratio wasn't 20:1 but I still ended up having a great time.
LOL .. yea i know how come there's always SOOooo many more guys than girls at electonic music shows? -_-a

At the concert he took a break and was just talking to everyone and he was like "If there's one thing I'd like to thank for spreading around my popularity, it's the internet and youtube" then I go "woo!!!" and everyone totally ignores me, no fake laughs, no claps, it was as if I didn't exist. (Yet if he says "I was born in Adelaide" and someone goes "woo" everyone laughs... what the fuck is wrong with society!!) Then he continued to talk and talked about how everyone had heard him (in sweeden or some euro country) all through youtube.
Fucking most embarrassing moment in my life.
Aww .. But at least you watched him live before! Anyways any real musician is sure to play different renditions of their song in live concerts
Hiromi's Sonicbloom - not jpop/rock but some fast, modern jazz. I daresay she almost equals Tommy in terms of 'feeling it'
Tommy was supposed to play Classical Gas but he plays short snippets of everything (including an imitation of Godfather), BUT classical gas, with a string quartet wating impatiently(?) for him. The video description lists the 21 songs he was playing that wasn't classical gas. At one point he was screaming Beat it, beat it!
Rodrigo y Gabriela - Gab uses the guitar for rhythm and percussion
Not really a concert, (it's live) but definitely astonishing for me to find out that this type of music is sort of ubiquitous in Paris, based on the numerous youtube related videos. This is my pick. Watch out for the bassist spinning the double bass haha

Yes!
Sungha Jung the perfect playing monotonous robot can kiss Julios ass. Goosebumps all over the first time i watched this.
I feel it would be disingenuous to post a show I haven't actually physically attended. That said, Dustin Kensrue, of Thrice fame, doing a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "State Trooper":
He did two shows that night, this was recorded at the 2nd show, and I attended the first. The venue, "The Silent Movie Theatre" in Hollywood, CA was this tiny place that couldn't have had more than 50 or 60 of us in the room, giving the whole show a very personal touch. Dustin is really amazing, there isn't anything he can't sing without sounding fucking incredible.
Best performance ever. God I wish I was old enough to watch queen live when Freddie Mercury was still alive.
This is actually way better than the album version imo. But then again at the time they didn't overproduce songs to make them sound better than they do so album versions were just like good live versions without the crowd and with different acoustics.
This was an incredibly talented (both vocals and instruments) Italian group in the late '90 early '00. Their name is Quintorigo, they were able to perform rock, jazz, pop, only using sax, violin, cello and contrabass. They're still active but the lead singer John De Leo left the group some years ago.
These are two audio recordings I personally made in 1999 when they came in concert to my city.
This is a cover of Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze
Here instead is a live concert in Rome with a cover of Deep Purple.

Tommy Emmanuel - Steve Vai said that Tommy is the best guitarist
PM me if you'd like more :D
liosama, I agree with your taste in music
YES! Tommy Emmanuel is the best on stage guitarist ever. I have not had the privilege to see him live. Despite the fact that he is simply playing a single guitar, occasionally with voice with it, or maybe with a guest performers, it is such an entertaining show. Best guitarist on stage, ever.
Jay-Z, subbing in at the last minute for the Bestie Boys (MCA was diagnosed with cancer just days before) at the All Points West festival covers their famous 'No Sleep Til Brooklyn' then transitions to his own 'Brooklyn We Go Hard'.
