title. i'm seeing porter robinson and madeon's 'shelter' tour tomorrow and i'm SO excited to see what they have in store. porter's worlds tour was super important to me back in 2014, which got me thinking, what's y'all's favorite show youve seen? what made it so special?

I'm going to see Shelter in November, crazy hyped!

I first saw Worlds at Bestival a few months ago and that's gotta be the #1 spot for me. I met up with a bunch of people from /r/porterrobinson and we hung out at the front right at the rail all day from noon til Porter closed. Madeon went on right before Porter and did a great show there too. Back to back they were amazing, I can't wait to see them play together.

Normally I stick with whoever I go to a show with, but at Bestival I met so many new people and we all became best friends by the time Porter came on, I still have some of them on Facebook and plan to meet some at whatever Shelter shows we can manage to all make it to.

Obviously Porter's show is renowned for being "life changing" and I know the term seems crazy and maybe overused but that's exactly what it was. It was on a whole other level compared to any other live show I've ever experienced for sure.

Coachella was really awesome and my first EDC (2014) was revolutionary in terms of how I experienced music festivals. Seeing Tyler the Creator live was absolutely insane, seeing The Bloody Beetroots live was incredible, getting to see Worlds when Porter came to SF with it was also a huge highlight.

There's tons of others, but those three have always stuck out in my mind.

OMG that's so awesome, i used to go on that subreddit all the time back when worlds first came out, glad you had such a great time!!

side note, i love how y'alls experiences range from giant festivals to tiny dark clubs, very cool

GWAR during the 2008 election was amazing

Russian Circles and Cynic aside from that. Crazy musicianship.

I find electronic music boring live. Basically just listening to music I like on a shittier system. When I go to edm shows now I really just sit back and take notes on how everything is put together.

The only producers I've seen live that really held my attention were Skrillex during the mothership tour in 2011 (right when he was breaking so the energy was crazy) and Porter/Zedd on the Poseidon tour (when Porter was like twice as big as Zedd haha...those days). Every other edm show I've been to since those I've kinda gotten bored and left about a half hour in. I've seen Zedd and Skrillex since then a few times, but it just kinda sucks standing in a crowd of 30,000 instead of being pushed against the front stage of a club that holds 500 people. Live electronic music has become a very impersonal, meh experience overall.

ok dude, you're officially fucking dank.

Haha us music nerds have to stick together.

I'm mildly shocked; after spending most of my childhood on the Gulf Coast I can't believe someone in Lafayette is aware of any of those bands haha. I always felt like I was on an island musically down there until I moved to DC.
