Rebirth of Dissection, definitely my favorite

[@zacharyseibert6788]

A masterpiece. The best concert dvd I own.

[@theakkusor]

Came here to say that

[@system32recov]

I literally watch this more than their actual albums 😅All 3 of them are amazing tho, of course

[@Jordanimal456]

Gojira live at Red Rocks is one of the best live performances recorded ever

[@JamesPetitt1981]

Absolutely. The one in Poland is fuckin awesome too.

[@DarrynGrills]

Metallica Live in Seattle '89 has always been one of my favorites. From a studio perspective, Gojira's live performance of "Global Warming" is chilling and super emotional. Korn's Woodstock 1999 performance is quite legendary. Though my personal favorite probably is Dir en Grey's famous "ANDROGYNOUS a view of the acro" performance. All the band members are on full display, they play the best versions of all their biggest songs, and Kyo's vocals are probably at their peak. His ability not only to go higher and lower than almost anyone and fluently switch between them never fails to amaze me, and he has control of the crowd like Freddie Mercury in songs like "Hageshisa to, Kono Mune no Naka de Karamitsuita Shakunetsu no Yami." (What a name!) Their performance of Vinushka is one of the greatest live recordings ever and is THE place to start with this band. Whenever I show someone Dir en Grey, I always start with Vinushka Live ANDROGYNOUS a view of the acro

[@LimeGuy101]

Say "Hi" Cliff!

[@Huddle_House56]

Seattle 89 is why I love metal and live music

[@MyNameAkhim]

I’m really hoping Dir en Grey visits the US again soon

[@VARVIS_]

Going to check out this Dir En Grey tonight thanks fam

[@MyNameAkhim]

@@VARVIS_ their style varies a lot throughout their different albums as they’ve been around for decades so be sure to listen to some stuff from different albums if you don’t initially like them. They don’t have tons of sick riffs but they have great counterpoint with the different instruments in a lot of their softer sections/songs. Tousei, Vinushka, Zakuro, and Ranunculus all have some great live performances on KZbin. Hope you like them nearly as much as me and this guy do haha.

[@rostzwiebelritter_5020]

I always return to the Lamb of God Live at Download 2007 Show. So much energy in the crowd and the Sound is awesome

[@BenitoBurritoBenarto]

That wasn’t Bobby koelble in Eindhoven, that was Shannon Hamm

[@roelgarcia6575]

Gojira live at the Vieilles Charreus festival in 2010 was also an insane set.

[@__supreme7]

There are a lot but here is my personal list: Death Live in Eindhoven and LA 98’ Metallica Live at Monsters of Rock 1991 Metallica Live Shit: Binge and Purge Megadeth live at Hammersmith Odeon 1992 Cannibal Corpse Eats Moscow Alive 1993 Cannibal Corpse Live Cannibalism 2000 Slipknot Live Download Festival 2009 and 2019 That said tho all the lives you mentioned are also sick asf Edit: Also you calling Scott Clendenin “the bassist” while going over eindhoven 98’ is probably some of the biggest disrespect given to a bassist hes super underrated tbh.

[@VARVIS_]

Great picks Binge and Purge is another favourite of mine No disrespect intended, couldnt remember his name and didnt look it up, wont make the same mistake again 👍

[@__supreme7]

@@VARVIS_ oh dont worry about it lots of people dont know his name lol and yeah binge and purge is fire

[@Magnumscrotus]

Im a clendenin. I wonder if we’re related 😊

[@thimoschmied1790]

Lamb of god 2007 at Download

[@jordy4761]

Came here to say this, possibly the best audio mix I've ever heard for a live show.

[@FACEL1FT]

Carcass/ Morbid Angel/ Bolt Thrower Grindcrusher tour is def up there

[@billyboostah6308]

My absolute favorite is Opeth - The Roundhouse Tapes from 2006... Mikael sounds fucking diabolical in that one, especially in the last song Demon of the Fall. Also allways been a fan of Iron Maidens Hallowed Be Thy Name live from 1982. AMAZING mix for the time and it´s both a bit faster and with better solo and vocals than the original... Some other favorites are: -Avenged Sevenfold - LBC 2008 -Dragonforce - Japan 2014 -Death - Eindenhoven 1998 -Bring Me The Horizon - Royal Albert Hall 2016 -BABYMETAL - Tokyo Dome 2016 -BABYMETAL - Metal Galaxy Tour in Japan 2019 -Metallica - Seattle 1989 -Metallica - Moscow 1991 -Opeth - Lamentations 2003 -Opeth - Royal Albert Hall 2010

[@educostanzo]

That's a great compilation man. I had a VHS tape with that Death concert back in the day here in Brazil, and it blew my socks off, I've never have seen metal played like that until then. It really set the bar for heavy music for me.

[@leonardotiezzi2904]

My favourite is Between The Buried and Me live DVD where they perform the entire Colors album + extras. Especially the ending with Selkies.

[@msmachine7253]

I've seen them live on the Parallax II tour, absolutely amazing set. Every song was note for note perfect to the album. Tommy's vocals were superb, swapping between those harsh screamed vocals and soaring leads. Light show was amazing too, fitting the albums themes to a tee. If any band knows how to pull off a full album setlist, its BTBAM.

[@wallethornedale9707]

type o negative at bizarre festival in 1999 is amazing, my favorite live performance, great audio and the boys were having a blast

[@Guts100Slain]

For me, there are 3 that truly come to mind Cryptopsy Live in Montreal 1996 Strapping Young Lad at Download Festival in 2006 Anaal Nathrakh at Roskilde in 2013 Those shows are just wild to even watch, with the only major difference between Cryptopsy and the other 2 is that I saw Cryptopsy in 2023, but watching those shows, they are all just insane, especially the Anaal Nathrakh show. I mean, with Anaal Nathrakh, they played In The Constellation, Forging Towards The Sunset, etc. Strapping Young Lad at Download, all of their albums were out, and they closed it off with In The Rainy Season, which has one of the greatest breakdowns ever. Cryptopsy in 1996... I mean, do I have to explain myself? It's Lord Worm era Cryptopsy, let alone the band in their prime.

[@VARVIS_]

Great picks, are these all on Yotube? I saw cryptopsy a month ago and it was crazy

[@Guts100Slain]

@@VARVIS_ All of them are on KZbin. Hell, snippets the Cryptopsy show I went to in 2023 is on KZbin, including the entirety of Phobophile (which I got to scream into the mic at that show), if you look up Cryptopsy El Corazon 2023, but the 3 I brought up are all amazing sets

[@thocom529]

I’ll make sure to check all these videos out, excellent video man 👌

[@cake2076]

Enlightening video. Thanks for making this dude!

[@leebrennan5790]

There's multiple examples of Gojira that I'd put in a list like this. Their live show recordings The Link Alive, The Flesh Alive, Hellfest 2013 set, Live at Red Rocks. Super amazing live performances always by that band. Sepultura live in 1991 Barcelona is also INSANE. Inhuman levels of speed and energy in their playing from start to finish. Aftermath performed by Strapping Young Lad at Download 2006. That whole set actually. Devin Townsend's voice is from another universe 😂. You should definitely make part 2 of this kind of video some day. So many gems on KZbin. I go back to watch Death in 1998 a ton🤘

[@Harri_Pothead]

There's a 20 minute video of Dir En Grey performing The Blossoming Beelzebub, Mazohyst of Decadence and Tsumi to Batsu on KZbin. It's the most visually brutal metal performance I've ever seen. On the other side of the spectrum, Devin Townsend live at the Royal Albert Hall is just mesmerizing.

[@darkshark1997]

Sepultura "Under Siege Tour" Live from Barcelona 1991 is one of the best for me! Absolutley outstanding!

[@Mefash]

You are simply underrated,keep it going dude.

[@philipkarovski281]

Man I couldn't add anything more to this list. Especially love the inclusion of X Japan as they are my favorite band of all time and Yoshiki inspired me so much that I learned piano and drums after listening to them. Would love a video on them from you

[@nikokaliterna]

Art of Life is insane. Thumbs up!

[@nagyerik845]

Mudvayne Ozzfest 2001 Linkin Park live at Texas A7x LBC These are my favs

[@noobslayer7564]

scrolled until I saw Live in LBC. Awesome concert

[@msmachine7253]

Wow, absolutely amazing section here. Introduced me to some really killer bands. Great work!

[@VARVIS_]

Thanks fam

[@shhwonk]

Gojira - Bordeaux (2009), from the The Flesh Alive DVD - this was Gojira at their peak. the show itself is really beautifully and artistically shot. and um Joe looks so cool with long hair. Metallica - Toronto (1986) - it's their fastest concert ever. the energy in the room is just nuts. Iron Maiden - Beast Over Hammersmith (1982) - Bruce Dickinson brings something special to Maiden in these early years. Pantera - Monsters of Rock in Moscow (1991) - it's a shorter set, like 20 minutes as they were opening for AC/DC and Metallica. but it's amazing seeing that sea of people flocking to the first metal show after the fall of the Iron Curtain. CFH-era Pantera was great.

[@Fenghorn_Zob]

Yes that Gojira show is peak

[@Guts100Slain]

Pantera at Monsters Of Rock 1991 is a show where every metalhead has to have seen, especially the Domination breakdown, because that show is just absolutely iconic

[@shhwonk]

@@Guts100Slain well said brother

[@gutcheckfm]

For Hardcore. Knocked Loose 2018 TIHC performance is iconic as hell.

[@EsquatchoMundo]

For me it’s that or speed sound and fury

[@gutcheckfm]

@@EsquatchoMundo I hate that band personally, but that video is sooooooo sick

[@Knokkelman]

Nice to see Kanonenfieber mentioned, their show took me by surprise last year, and maybe I shed some (manly, black) tears during Der Füsilier I. As far as live Black Metal is concerned, Emperor are probably the live gold standard here, they are just soo consistently good, it sounds way better than the records, as the Hellfest 2024 video shows. My favourite live footage video on YT is probably "Anaal Nathrakh - In Coelo Quies.Tout Finis Ici Bas - Party San 2013" as it's insane quality for a fan video - and I was there back then, great show, for once they had the sound mixed right.

[@sirdacier7159]

Rebirth of Dissection, and The Roundhouse Tapes are my absolute favorites

[@Howard_the_Duck]

Iced Earth - Ailive in Athens, Iced earth - Live in Philadelphia 2002 Dark Tranquility - Where death is most alive In flames - Used and Abused Hatebreed - Live Dominance Pantera - Live in Korea Crematory - Tears of time Live in Wacken 2008

[@DrProfessorMD]

Hate5six Knocked Loose Sept 11 2021. It's at one of my favorite all time venues, the first unitarian church in Philly. Absolutely mad.

[@VARVIS_]

BASED Love KL so many great sets of theirs online

[@Magnetklaue]

Didn't expect to see Art of Life here but I'm so pleasantly surprised! I would love to hear more of your thoughts on it (or X as a whole). Thanks for your work!

[@parsa8941]

Thanks for the recommendations

[@rodneymcdermott5303]

Queensryche, operation livecrime 🤘 defiantly love your list.

[@Mynamejeff666]

For me, strapping young lads performance at download 2006 will always be the most raw performance out there

[@wthinthecompassofman]

Yes! Please do a video on Art of Life! That song is such an amazing point in their wild and varied career!

[@chikinonfrydai]

calibertv’s recording of chelsea grin’s hostage at 2018 warped tour is iconic af

[@bartsuijs7196]

I think Gorgoroth (/God Seed) performance at Wacken 2008 should also be up included, probably the most intimidating and legitimately terrifying live performance i've have ever seen.

[@ducmonster6965]

100% agree, that performance is just so unhinged it's crazy

[@BigBadBuzz]

Might be overlooked because it's metalcore but Parkway Drive's set at UNSW 2008 is underrated in my opinion. Just pure Australian metalcore from the amount of sweat, heaviness and flip flops on stage.

[@zacharyseibert6788]

Strapping Young Lad - For Those About To Rock, an absolute banger!!

[@marshallleemattersforero8174]

Even if its hardcore, Gulch's final show is going into the history books!

[@lelcity]

My personal favorite perfomance is Sanguisugabogg 2023 sound a fury performance, one of the main reasons is how nuts the crowd goes, the set list is great and the band sounds great and devons callouts are so good

[@dirty_deeds3523]

off the top of my head some of my favorites are metallica live nimes 2009 acdc live 79 candlemass live eindhoven 1990 (they made a live album) gulch live 2022 system of a down armenia 2015

[@budafuka]

Not a set, but Deep Peace live in studio is something I go back to a couple of times a year. It's peak Devin Townsend in max skullet. It's just the solo and the end of the song, but the way he looks like he's on the verge of tears playing the riff after the solo where he usually sings "it's all going away now" gets me everytime.

[@user-xr6ov3cg6u]

Live Inferno-Emperor. Rebirth of Dissection. Bloodbath-Wacken Carnage.

[@pal_is_what1855]

Megadeth 1991 Live In Rio, great quality and insane speed, they play a lot of rust in peace too

Watching meshuggah’s alive set is a heavenly experience (technically it’s two sets merged together for the dvd but still absolutely brutal)

[@Djent_Djenerator]

I’m surprised there’s no late 2000’s Gojira here! But if we were to include all of the legendary performances this would probably be a 10 hour video

[@Tritoness]

Gojira the Link Alive from 2003 is the quintessence of death metal. It’s just screams metal, no fillers. Just incredible.

[@VARVIS_]

Based this one is great cheers 👍

[@nescaudrummer]

I'd say perhaps early Opeth, like their first show in the US in 2000 on Milwaukee Metalfest You can also find very early 96' shows where they play songs from Morningrise and Orchid here on youtube I find it amazing

[@vandersonjunior8018]

Mine goes like this Nightwish at Wacken 2013 Exodus at Wacken 2008 Megadeth Italy 1992 The Meshuggah one on the video Gojira The Flesh 2009 Devin Townsend at Royal Albert Hall 2015 and Retinal Circus

[@J.H7950]

My Dying Bride - Sinamorata DVD, Opeth - Lamentations - Live at Shepherd's Bush Empire, Meatllica - Live Seattle 1988, Pantera - Moscow 1991. Many more that I cant remember right now.

[@pearlgrays]

so many good ones in the comments, but two short clip I'd like to throw in "SHINING (NOR): Fisheye - live at Norwegian TV 2009.10.19" and "PORTAL - Glumurphonel" I saw both clips many years ago and I was instantly turned into a fan of both.

[@craighanna7001]

Some of my favorites are: Sacred Reich: Live in the K Pit Mastodons acoustic set from the Georgia Aquarium and also their K Pit set Metallica: Seattle 89 Slipknot: Download 09 Lamb of God: Killadelphia Exodus: Wacken 06

[@system32recov]

You earned a sub, bro. Great vid. You also from Alberta? My suggestion to check out would be the Opeth - Red Rock Ampitheatre show

[@Mikehero69_]

Art of Life played live is such a trip. Glad to see it on your list! For me, I gotta go with Sonata Arctica's live DVD "For the Sake of Revenge." One of my favourite bands at their absolute peak and with what I'm sure most would call their classic line-up firing off so many of their best songs. Bonus pick is Blind Guardian's live DVD "Imaginations Through the Looking Glass". The energy, especially during Valhalla, is amazing. I finally got to see them live this year and it was fantastic.

[@westernwarden8758]

Buckethead has some incredible sets! Skinless live at mdf 2024 Pantera had an amazing show, but I think it got taken down, I remember it was recorded from pretty far back, it was after trendkill, and they had a snake banner before the show started (IF ANYONE HAS SEEN THIS PLEASE LET ME KNOW) Heinous killings live Shrüm live

[@sireffortlessgarbage7922]

I was at the Skinless show lol

[@andrewmiller218]

Kanonfieber🤘🔥!! Glad they are getting some love! I found them from that first live show that posted last year. I was sick as a dog and couldn’t sleep for anything. It came up in my recommended and It was like 1:30 AM I was like, maybe this is a fever dream, but I’m here for it🤘🔥! I finally fell asleep about 3/4ths the way through the video and when I woke up I was still sick but at least it wasn’t a fieber dream and I had found a new band out of the sickness😂🔥🤘! May the immeasurable dead of the ‘Great’ War find peace. May we never forget them, or their sacrifice.

[@Steinwelt]

I'm German and I can't even understand what Kanonenfieber are singing. Btw. my favorite Metal performance on KZbin is a Metallica concert from 1985 where they played Disposable Heroes. The concert took place in Gelsenkirchen I think (I'm unsure but I'm certain it was in Germany).

my fave live sets are... children of bodom live in stockholm, dream theater - live scenes from ny,.. metallica - san diego ... jethro tull bursting out ..although that is a live album not a video. i guess nightwish end of an era.. back in my powermetal days.. and also i like ozzy live with jake e lee 1984 and live in budokan with zakk.

[@ileutur6863]

[@va_anes]

Gorgoroth/God Seed at Wacken 2008 is my personal number 1 live performance of all time. Shining at Tyrant Fest 2017 is also one of my favourites.

[@jacrispy116]

Marilyn Manson’s Dead to the World is AMAZING. same with his God Guns Government tour as well!

[@vuk3303]

Live by fire I by Enforcer is absolutely peak. A relatively short set packed with bangers, amazing energy and crowd interaction and the performance itself is just out of this world. At the start of the concert, just how perfectly they transition from Bells of hades to Death rides this night is the stuff of legends, I wholeheartedly recommend checking it out if you haven't already.

COB, Stockholm 2006, gotta see it. Absolutely killer show

[@broken-machine9271]

Got 5 really good ones i can think of rn. Sleep - At Southwest Terror Fest 2015. Melvins & Big Business performing Houdini in 2013. Gorguts - San Francisco 1998. Celestial (isis), at the LA Celebration of the Life & Art of Caleb Scofield show in 2018. Om - Live At Amoeba Records 2007. The Sleep set is probably one of the best looking and sounding videos i've seen of them live. Its also (to my knowledge) one of the only videos of one of their shows starting and ending with dopesmoker. The Melvins show was done during a time where their lineup had two drummers and four singers. Making a already amazing album sound absolutely massive. Its also super cool to watch Dale and Coady be perfectly in sync with eachother the enitre set. The Gorguts set is absolutely immaculate being mostly songs from their (at the time) most recent album: Obscura. The footage is pretty good for the time and the sound quality is even better. Its just overall awesome to me to be able to see the Obscura era line up play these absolutely mind bending songs live. Celestial was a one time name for Post Metal pioneers Isis. And the show was a memoral for the late Caleb Scofield (Cave In, Old Man Glood, Zozobra). All the bands that played were close freinds with Caleb, making the show that much more powerful. Celestial/Isis's set was amazing consisting of songs from the albums Panopticon, Oceanic, and Celestial. A overall amazing show. Om's Amoeba Records show is one of the very few videos there are from this era of Om. its hands down one of the most visually heavy shows i've ever seen, Al Cisneros, (who also plays bass and sings in Sleep) at this show has a rig that includes: A DOD Overdrive 250. Boss ds1 Distortion. Three Custom Electric Amp 180 Watt amps, one as a normal amp, and Two as power amps. Two 4x12 Cabs. A 2x15 Cab. And two absolutely gigantic 4x15 cabs that make up a literall wall of sound. This show just based off of looks was already one of my favorites, but once i found out about the almost 30 minute long version of "At Giza", i just about lost my shit lol. I'd add more shows but i dont want to turn this comment that no one will see into a whole ass history lesson.

[@Ghoulstille]

Carpenter Brut live at Hellfest 2023 with numerous guest vocalists including Greg from Dillinger Escape Plan and Mat McNerney from Beastmilk and Grave Pleasures.

[@owenchapman7478]

I can't stress enough how good kanonenfieber are live. Ive seen them both times they have come to my country but the first one was the best because it was in a tiny basement venue with no special effects, no smoke machine, flamethrowers ect. Also the fact that noise (vocalist and records/produces everything for studio releases) doesnt make the other members play the part like he does makes it very fun to watch because you can tell theyre having a good time. Only other bands Ive seen with the same level of stage presence has been Batushka (the real one) and Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult.

I'd say GHOUL Live in The Flesh is a really sick one! Recorded back in 2018 but edited to look like it was recorded with a 90s camera. The music absolutely rips, the performances are incredible, i absolutely need to buy a physical copy!

[@Hamring]

For me, i've kept coming back to Sepultura's under siege live in Barcelona show for almost 20 years and it still blows me away. The band was on fire playing an amazing setlist and the production is great as well. Igor's snare sounds like a 50cal rifle shot each time. A couple other ones are Bloodbath during Wacken 2005. Michael's best sounding vocals ever IMO and Nile live in St. Petersburg 2012. A bootleg recording, but sadly the best available sound wise from this era.

[@hhfamily7528]

Opeth - Ghost of Perdition is a top moment. And Death's entire set haha

[@user-dw7eb3kz5h]

Cynic live at Berkeley is really good, also I watched Children Of Bodom Stockholm Knockout like a thousand times, the quality is insane

Soundgarden - Slaves & Bulldozers (Live Pink pop 1992). Absolute time capsule. The late Mr cornell and the rest of the band in top form.
