What's the best band/act/dj you've ever seen?

2005 - Cockatoo Island. Sun setting behind the stage over Sydney Harbour and Mick Hart playing a small open air set on one of the lawns... magic happens. What come down? Best gig? I dunno - but certainly memorable.

Foo Fighters at the SCG in 2011 was also awesome.

Cog in Byron Bay 2007 was pretty damn special too.

And then there was... meh.

I don't know if it was necessarily the best gig I've ever seen, there's been a few goods ones..

But the one that always comes to mind is:

Infected Mushroom: Earthcore (VIC) 2003: sunrise set, been 40C all weekend and just for their set there was a beautiful thunderstorm - so we all got to dance in the rain, which kept us cool and all the dust down. The storm only started as their set began and it cleared up as soon as the set finished, the timing was incredible.

Damn! Pretty much came here to say this. It was amazing for all the reasons you mentioned. It was also my first time on pills which made it extra special. plus I had finished VCE a week beforehand.

Metallica at BDO in 2004 were awesome too.

birds of tokyo, broken strings tour.. must have been 2009?

they did accoustic set, accompanied by string quartet & grand piano..

You know I wouldn't flame you for this, I'm completely jealous!
