My Bloody Valentine at the Palace Hotel, Melbourne, VIC, Australia a couple of weeks ago.

I've been waiting 20+ years for it to happen, and they didn't disappoint.

It was also the loudest thing I've ever heard.

A close second would have to have been Swervedriver in 1998, back home in Perth, Western Australia (Belvoir Amphitheatre).

OP - seeing as you mentioned Austin - have you heard/seen True Widow by any chance?

The best band I've come across this decade, by a long shot.

I know that feeling. My favorite live show was Leonard Cohen after he basically come out of retirement from touring for an eternity. He shattered my expectations, and it was an amazing show. Lucky you.

I haven't - noise and shoegaze aren't primarily my thing. They would appear to be Dallas, anyway.
