highly debatable.

In a live setting? Hmm...
Radiohead
Daft Punk
Phish
Sigur Ros
Secret Machines (Black Cat show)
Smashing Pumpkins
Thievery Corporation
Justin Timberlake (9:30 Club show)
Crooked Fingers (Black Cat)

I can't say that any particular band or performer has blown my mind, but John Cage truly changed how I think about and approach music. That's mind blowing.
-
Planet Drum
The Grateful Dead
-
The Verve, 1995 old 9:30, 1997 new 9:30
Comets on Fire, Black Cat, 2005 (6?)
-
Butthole Surfers @ old 9:30
Dead Kennedy's circa '85 in a tiny club atmosphere
Cows @ The Underground Railroad in Morgantown
Salo @ old 9:30
Clash @ Ritchie Coliseum prior to the release of London Calling. They tested some material from it though.
Psychedelic Furs @ Ontario Theatre - Forever Now tour.
The brass at the end during the encores was face blown off mind blowing.
It could go on. My minds been blown at shows many times over the years. Those stand out at the moment. My intake probably helped.
Edit: Lux and Ivy must also be included. Love me some Cramps.
-
ok, i can do one
Metallica at Woodstock 99.
i thought i knew what rock was...but man was i wrong, they brought the rock that night like no other band could ever bring the rock ever.
and having Rage as openers really made the oh, 120,000 people in the crowd even more amped.
i dont think we said a word for about 3 hours after that show.
-
Norah Jones at Millenium Stage
-
sigur ros (2001 fillmore SF)
bjork (1998 warfield SF)
portishead (1998 warfield SF)
pj harvey (1998, 2001, 2005 warfield SF)
-
Love @ Birchmere in 2003
Best. Show. Ever.
-
The Jesus Lizard at the old Black Cat was pretty mind-blowing, as was Nashville Pussy the first time I saw them (prior to the schtick getting old). I left covered in light fluid, beer and sweat.
Beyond that, I'm not sure. Even my favorite bands haven't really blown my mind.
-
Nick Cave at 9:30 in 98 or so pretty much killed me to0.
-
the very first year of lollapalooza, when it came to some park in fairfax. every band that played that day.

Cmon now,Living Colour? However, the block that started with Butthole Surfers followed by Ice T and then Nine Inch Nails was pretty mind blowing.
It was my first time hearing Ice T and he did indeed blow my mind. I went right out and bought Power. Jane's Addiction and Suzie were none to shabby that evening either. Good call walkonby, I forgot all about those first 2 Lollas at Lake Fairfax.
The HFStival with the La's @ Lake Fairfax was way cool as well. Not quite mind blowing though.
-
Goldfrapp. Any and all shows.
PJ Harvey 2001, 2004, 2005, 2007.
Tori Amos at the 9:30 Club in 1998.
Daft Punk at Red Rocks.
Bjork at Radio City 2001.
Jill Scott at the 9:30 Club 2004.
There are so many I can't think of right now.

oh yeah, and of cource every phish / widespread panic / dark star orchestra / flaming lips / ween / polyphonic spree / sonic youth / david bowie show i've ever seen.

I thought about the Lips shows I've seen as well, best probably being my intro to them on 2nd stage Lolla 3. Although I think I'd categorize them more as a rip roarin good time or maybe a spectacle. Always a good time. Wayne aims to please.
Unfortunately my experience with Bowie was quite underwhelming as I caught the Serious Moonlight tour. What a crap release that was. I'd have loved to have seen him in his hey day. Live @ Tower Theatre in Philly being a great live release IMHO.
-
The Sugarplastic @ The Derby in LA
-
Ok, given the fact that I come from South America, it'd be pretty silly not to mention a couple of bands from down there
Soda Stereo @ Estadio Nacional (1997)
Roger Waters @ Estadio Nacional (2002)
Cafe Tacuba @ Teatro Providencia (2002)
Babasonicos @ Teatro Providencia (2003)
Aguaturbia @ Sala SCD Bellavista (2004)
Chemical Brothers @ San Carlos de Apoquindo (2004)
PJ Harvey & Morrissey @ San Carlos de Apoquindo (2004)
Los Jaivas @ Kennedy Center Milennium Stage (2005)
Cerati @ State Theatre (2006)
Tool @ Verizon Center (2006)
Patti Smith @ 930 Club (2007)

My first Bowie show was on the Serious Moonlight tour. I thought it was great. That Glass Spiders tour wasn't all that impressive though.

Wow, it looks like a vast majority of us have just lucked out when seeing mind-blowing shows.
Or, we're easily open to hyperbole. Shrug.
-
I've had other things blown at shows (or just, blow) but never my mind...

Is that your way of saying you'll be at BLOWOFF tonight?

Flaming Lips was amazing.
I was REALLY impressed with the Yeah Yeah Yeah's.
But the only band that blew my mind was Iggy and the Stooges at the 9:30 Club. That was the only time where during a concert i thought to myself, "I'm actually witnessing one of those once in a lifetime concerts."
-
I could blow all of your fucking minds
-
I used to like Muse until I discovered they were sympathetic to the 9/11 denial "movement."
But as for mind-blowing, I'd have to say Bauhaus at the Club a few years back is right near the top of my list.
-
A few... some coming to mind...
Flaming Lips
Muse
Queens of the Stone Age
The Hives @ Black Cat [!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
Gogol Bordello
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
M.I.A. @ Sonar
Wolfmother @ Black Cat & 930
The White Stripes
The Killers [Total surprise]

I took the original title of the thread to refer to bands that had a period of time where they could seemingly do no wrong with what they released as opposed to particular shows but since that's the direction that the thread has taken I won't veer off course haha; however I'm going to change it up slightly and list shows that kicked my ass where I had very little to zero knowledge about the band beforehand, sometimes those are the most rewarding.
Melvins DC Space Summer 1990
(If you know the volume of the Melvins and knew the size of DC Space then nuff said)
Five-Eight 15 Min Club DC Summer 1993
(actually the openers Kepone were pretty goddamned amazing as well)
Dwarves 9:30 Club Fall 1990
(Best 20 minutes of live punk rock I've ever seen hands down, will still kill for a video of this show as I saw and collided with at least 2-3 people filming)
Ernie Isley Riverpark Tulsa OK Summer 1990
(opening for SRV and IMO blew him off of the stage which I know is blasphemous given SRV's deceased status but I saw Ernie Isley again at the Ritz in DC 2 weeks later after begging them to let my then-underage ass in and it wasn't a fluke)
Shudder To Think 9:30 Club Summer 1990
(I wished I had seen these guys a little earlier on as opposed to catching them when I did but in retrospect I was glad I got to see them a few times before the original lineup started to disintegrate)
Nation of Ulysses St Stephens Church DC Fall 1991
(Starting off riffing on Coltrane and then descending into chaotic noise for the next half an hour but it worked)
Eric Gales Band 9:30 Club Summer 1991
(Opening for King's X, I think he was like 16 at the time and I figured he was destined for future guitar god greatness but haven't heard much from him in the past decade unfortunately)
Chris Duarte Club Dada Dallas TX January 1994
(Why this guy doesn't get more recognition is beyond me, what he can do with a guitar is beyond all fucking comprehension)
-
I stand by my notion from the other thread, that while I have seen some AMAZING live shows, I just don't get the whole "mind blowing" experience. Maybe I just don't do the right drugs or have enough booze in my system, who knows?
There have been a handful of shows over the years that have been life changing in the sense that I was sincerely won over as a lifetime fan, but I've never left feeling like I was just witness to something so unique or ground breaking that my mind was blown:
Clutch (9:30 F St.)
Ray Lamontagne (9:30 V St.)
Alice In Chains (Ritchie Coliseum)
Tool (Hammerjacks)
Teenage Fanclub (Hammerjacks)
Prong (The Bayou)
AC/DC (The Capital Center)
The Jesus and Mary Chain (Lalapalooza â?¢ Lake Fairfax)

I think you might be taking the whole "mind-blowing" concept a bit too literally/seriously. It's pretty much as hyperbolic as saying a performance was life-changing.

But I think that's the whole point...to move beyond "great shows" and think about the ones that were just completely over the top, taking you places you never thought music could go, making you totally rethink everything you thought you knew about music, changing the way you experience every aspect of listening to music from that point forward. It's more like a religious experience than anything else.
Of course "mind-blowing" is hyperbolic. "Life-changing" doesn't need to be though.
-
I agree that a concert can be life-changing (but then, a 10%-off sale at Olssons can also be life-changing). The point I was making was that Shadrach was crapping on the "mind blowing" concept, but then says he's had life-changing experiences, and I'm saying that they're the same thing, in terms of how we're using the concepts.

joe, you go to more shows than anyone else here (with the possible exception of ixkpd-bk), all over the country although mostly on the east coast... but you've only ever been to mind-blowing shows in SF? really? :p
-
this goes back to the early 90's but I cant quite remember years on most of these shows:
Erasure @ Cow Palace, SF - the cowboy tour was just awesome! But I think their earlier shows had even better costumes.
Morrissey @ The Greek Theater (Berkeley) - 1991
Catherine Wheel @ Slims, SF
Manic Street Preachers @ Bimbos, SF
Dandy Warhols @ fillmore, Sf - an evening with.. 3 hours of dandy warhols bliss!
Jesus & Mary Chain/Mazzy Star @ Palladium, LA - 1994
Gene - San Diego - 1997?
Polyphonic Spree, Im From Barcelona, Daft Punk - Lollapalooza 2007
Stereophonics - 9:30 Club
Basement Jaxx - Webster Hall, NYC
Faithless - Webster Hall, NYC

No, I admit that I am taking things a bit literally. I guess I just hear that term tossed around all the time and I was just curious from one live music fan to another what qualified a show as mind-blowing.
I think a few folks did an admirable job of explaining their concept of mind-blowing; something they've never seen before, a show that leaves them speechless, a once-in-a-lifetime performance. That's all well and good, I get that and I'm definitely not trying to poo-poo anyones taste or style.
As for me, if I say a show was life-changing, I'm basing it on something tangible, something that I can see the effect of on my life, something that others can see. For example, I don't think it's any secret that my favorite band is Clutch, well since seeing them the first time, I've traveled all up and down the east coast to see them. In the process I've met people and made friends. I first talked to my fiance because she was wearing a Clutch shirt and the first time we hung out together was at a Clutch show. I traveled to England and followed Clutch around for nine days and experienced things I may not have if the Clutch bug had not been under my skin.
So for me life-changing means something about that time and place and the overall experience is so intertwined with the music that they are forever connected. I've just never left a show thinking "wow, that was mind-blowing."

Peeping Tom (Coachella)
To name a few...

I guess if I had to pick just one instance, it would be My Morning Jacket at 9:30 on 11/27/06. Pretty much the most transcendent live experience I've had.
As for bands which have blown my mind (which I think was the original purpose of this thread), I would go with Radiohead from the years 1997-2001. They were truly doing things no one else could even begin to imagine at that time.

Gotcha, not the same shows then but figured I'd ask. And talk about underrated bands...Course of Empire was fucking amazing live but I'm probably a bit biased due to my North Texas tenure when they were at their peak popularity-wise.

fine...
Andrew Bird @ 930
Rollins Band @ 930
Broken Social Scene / Do Make Say Think @ 930 (the last time they were at the club)

I agree. I thought Rollins was great that night. You missed nothing by skipping X; I thought they were pretty bad that night.

I would have to say The Clash in 78 and Ian Dury and the Blockheads in 79 and Japan also in 79'ish.
Ian Dury would probably take the #1 spot by a nose.
I put these three over the gazzillion times I've seen Bowie, because I expect an amazing show to see the great one, but wasn't expecting too much for these, so they in effect "blew me away."
-
wesley willis/ jmu campus/ april 2003.
just seeing him... actually 'perform' and the banter with the audience was figuratively mind-blowing. also, literal mind-blowing would be the headbutt i got pre-show.

Muse (Metro Club)

Bob Marley and the Wailers-Halloween Nite 1978 at the Colgate University Gym- a truly religious experience

Not touchy at all...just wondering how to respond.
Yes, Japan were amazing in concert and still one of my all time favourite bands. Shame they split so early in their career. I was hoping VH1 would try to reunite them when they were doing that show, but it wasn't to be I suppose.

Yeah, to see them live must be a lifetime highlight. About the VH1 thing, or any reunion tour, its highly unlikely. I have read a couple interviews of DS and he seems a pretty reclusive guy. But then again, theres always hope

There's some great live performances by Japan on youtube.

Malcolm Holcombe at Red Eye Fly's at SXSW 2008. (His tooth fell out mid-set, and he KEPT going. Not to mention, he was probably my favorite, the most refreshing act I'd seen the entire festival. And older guy from NC with a guitar and a harmonica that managed to turn it OUT.)
