For me it was Wolfmother at a major German festival. I didn't really know them before and did not expect too much, but was totally blown away by their performance.

Finntroll live in a small venue in Belgium called Biebob. The hall is barely bigger than a decent café, so that means everyone is very close to the band. Once they started playing, the ENTIRE hall went absolutely berserk. Including the staff behind the tables and technical materials. Everyone was so completely enthralled that it was an almost religious experience. I've never before or after seen anything like it. Must've been over 15 years ago though.

Similar experience seeing Ghost in de Vooruit in Ghent. Must've been 2016, back when they were called Ghost BC. Don't really follow them much anymore, but that venue was on fire.

Edit - Also amazing:

  • Florence and the machine: amazing voice
  • Ocean Wisdom: whole club bouncing up and down
  • Macklemore: creates a rarely seen vibe with everyone
  • Cypress Hill: such legends even after all these years
  • Hooverphonic: insane voice and they are sometimes guided by an orchestra, so much power
  • Parov Stelar: with an orchestra as well and my god it's really something to experience live

A lot of artists sound way different live, I've been disappointed as well but these definitely stand out.

I'm so jealous of your Ghost concert. I had been following those guys since 2014 or so and loved everything about their music. I tried so hard to go to concerts but nothing ever lined up.

Finally saw them last year, but it was a huge venue and seats were $$$ so I couldn't get very close. Still, love their music.

Awesome you got to see them as well! They got big really fast, I saw them a year later at Alcatraz festival and that was at least 20x bigger and they were headlining IIRC. At that concert they had a canon shooting 666$ bills, I took some snaps for you. Tucked away between my record Ceremony and Devotion, the full live set just as I remember it but recorded in San Francisco.
