M.I.A. is officially the best person to see in concert

[dasashi]

I concur. It was a surreal experience for me last time I saw MIA live.

EDIT - Just because i know someone might try and discredit this claim...i'll back up my argument...here are the 10 Bands who can claim role as Best Live Band...

Pearl Jam
Radiohead
Muse
U2
Rage Against The Machine
My Morning Jacket
Flaming Lips
White Stripes
Dave Matthews Band
Nine Inch Nails

I never said they were the best, I was just saying that they give a great live show. I don't think anyone on here has said that yet...I've seen 9/12 of the bands you mentioned(had to edit cuz you did

), and yes they all give great shows as well.

i know you weren't the one who said "OFFICIALLY THE BEST PERSON TO SEE IN CONCERT"

but you did say you haven't seen a concert til you've seen the rootslive...but who cares that's dope which ones have you seen off the list? I'm catchin MMJ, Radiohead, NIN this summer for the first time as well as PearlJam and DMB again...can't $*%#*%! wait

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head'll collapse when there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
"Where is my mind?"

M.I.A

[buggz05]

@ those herbbeast not even tempting to cop a feel or slip the digits etc..

 

[gamer chica]

I fly like paper, get high like planes..

I wouldn't mind seeing her in concert..

 

[hugebird]

I saw Maya again last night and she wrecked it. She's not the best to see live, but it's always great fun.

Go to Bonnaroo and check out Pearl Jam! 2 1/2 hours you will be

Pearl Jam is THE best live band in the world at this point in time...

Pearl Jam? Maybe 12 years ago. And Bonnaroo isn't what it used to be, not even close.

 

[blazers21ntnp]

I saw her last Friday, absolutely incredible show.

The energy she brings is crazy, bringing up the floor for a few songs.

The opening acts were great too, especially Let's Go To War. Came out and got the crowd hyped right at the start of the show.

Last week was amazing, Glow In The Dark on Monday and M.I.A. on Friday.

 

[toast1985]

The Roots x House of Blues = Once in a lifetime experience.

And for the record, The Roots are considered top 20 live performances in the World.

..But yeah, I have to see Bamboo Banga in person.

 

[the black james bond]

saw her in philly last night. The energy was crazy to say the least

 

[mangudai954]

Wow. I seriously must be the only person who's never heard of her.

 

[916kings]

cant wait to go to the golden gate fest. in august.

 

[frankie calentino]

naw. Pearl Jam RIPS it still check out Immagine In Cornice...

And Bonnaroo not being what it used to be? You into jam bands? 08 Bonnaroo>Any festival of the 21st century-Coachella '06

 

[visualmusic]

I take it you missed Lupes show at SOB's.

. Anyways, excuse my ignorance but who's M.I.A? I heard of her but never heard her music. Anyrecommendations?

 

[bcf06]

How can you make a list and not include Iron Maiden. They are one of the top groups to go see. They are better live than more than half those groupsmentioned. Even people who arent fans go check them out and they get hooked.
