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.

I saw Motion City Soundtrack when they were supporting the release of their first album. Their keyboardist spent more time in the air than on the ground. He was on another level. The show was killer. So much enthusiasm, so much passion, and when it was over they came into the audience and talked with us and hung out while Story of the Year did their set. It was one of the most “real” experiences I’ve had a show. Not some fever dream of energy and strobe lights. Just connecting with the artist afterwards and seeing that they are real people, too. I’ve never forgotten it.
I just looked at when that album released. 20 years ago. Goddamn.
