My fav live bands to date are:-

1. New Modal Army - My wife took me to a gig last year and they were amazing. They only play small gigs so it feels really intimate.

2. Bon Jovi saw them at Huddersfield in 2001 and they were s**t hot! Wanted to see them again in Manchester last month but was working.

3. Manic Street Preachers.

4. Ocean Colour Scene.

pink floyd... too bad you cannot see that anymore. i'm not a big fan of pearl jam (i've never even owned an album) but they put on a great live show. when i go to a live show i like to hear some improv, maybe a little extra in the solo or something. i feel that when i go to a concert and it sounds like the band sounds on the radio... why go to the concert? i want something different from a live show.

system of a down
slipknot
pantera
rage against the machine
fear factory
mudvayne
slayer
machine head
nothing face
soul fly

Yeah I definitly like to see what the band can really do when they're live.
As a sel taught guitarist I've learn't more from watching live guitarists play than I ever did from a book.

Nice list Backfire!

Insane Clown Posse
Our Lady Peace
Finger Eleven

Pink Floyd was a really cool show
Rush always kicks ass live
Neil Young

PRIMUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only concert I've been to was Everclear, and IMHO, the opening bands stole the show.

Led Zepplin and Deep Purple were awsome live so was Marillion when they had Fish as lead singer There are a lot of great live bands and many of the good shows are recorded as well.
Queen had some good live recordings, Manfred`s Man live in budapest is great. Pink Floyd The wall live at earls court from 1981 is excellent.

I aint seen many live bands but nickelback rocked

My band are apparantely very good live tho!

Here's our logo

blink 182 rocks live but are really profane but that is actually the fun

Tom Petty is fabulous live.

There is nothing like the good ol' Grateful Dead. Musically, they always took it to another level live, and witnessing the scene, the parking lot, all the freaks and hippies. It was great. Has to be the best live experience there is.



ChinanNiki-Saw Tom Petty last year and he was awesome!

My super fab cousin gave my sister and I tickets for our birthdays a couple of years ago. He's so lucky Tom Petty's coming back through his neck of the woods this fall. I will so not be able to go.

Sis saw the dead twice and totally loved it. She went with a group of friends and they just traded for stuff they needed with other Dead Heads.

Dave Matthews Band
Dream Theater
Rush
Genesis
Yes
Planet X

Cake

1. Oasis(Take their already amazing songs to a new level when played live)
2. Flickerstick(nobody uses more energy on stage)
3. Travis(Actually like their songs live than on CD)

I thought Travis were better live too. Ash are the best and totally kick ass.
I'll post a piccy if i can find one.

never been to any good concerts but i got some tapes with awsome concerts:
Orgy
Korn
AFI
Slipknot

and i can image that
Mindless Self Ingulgence and Murderdolls Concert would be AWSOME!!

I'd have to say Linkin Park, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, Static-X, Mudvayne, and Green Day. I'm going to see Kiss and Aerosmith next weekend so I bet that'll be pretty good.

Tom petty and the heartbreakers is great live

I really wanna see them live.

out of the bands ive seen live my favorites are, DISTURBED, 3 DOORS DOWN, JIMMY EAT WORLD, A NEW FOUND GLORY, and even though i only saw manson at ozzfest he seemed like a damn good performer , but no one gets the crowd going like KORN. tom petty is the man, i wish i could have eben around to see FLOYD or ZEPPELIN though

Best live performers in no specific order (sorry if our styles clash) are:
Brian McKnight
J. Timberlake
Nsync (I know your thinking *Those gay mother...* but they do nearly impossible things live and remain on pitch)
Celine Dion
Craig David

The Darkness
Sum 41
Nirvana - Although i never got to see them live ( ) - i have seen reels of there concerts and wow.

Janes Adiction

You've seen them live Minxy?

I enjoyed Rage Against the Machine live. I saw them in a real small club in B'ham and I was within spitting distance of the stage, what a mosh!

Yellowcard live is ****ing awesome. Best band live. Also Sparta is great live

Rhapsody - the ultimate phantasy band

and

Blind Guardian

Two best live bands I can think of off the top of my hear are Primus and White Zombie

the best live show has to be ramstein by far!

Turbonegro

pardon?

I stated that in my opinion Turbonegro is the best live band.

GWAR! you guys havent seen a live band till you've seen these nuts!

Pink Floyd, fullstop.

I dont mean to be silly here but what does full stop mean?

It means, look no further, issue closed, etc etc.

got ya, pink floyd is really awesome!

Metallica....

System Of A Down are awesome live, absolutely amazing.

I'd name some of the other bands I've seen live but none of them were anywhere near as good as SOAD, so I won't bother.

Slipknot, SOAD, pantera, slayer, korn, fear factory, machine head, mudvayne, nothing face, soul fly, rage against the machine.

this is an australian 1 that i went to on saturday

LIVID!!!!!!!!! performing - LINKIN PARK, white stripes, goldfinger, the living end, jurassic 5, less than jake, for amusement only and many more. and that was just this year, it was great but it was like 111 australian dollars which is, wat, 50 US dollars or is it double, u work it out

and also if u did that kind if thing reguarly u would have a bad hearing problem, i mean com on, i can enjoy the music better live when its not that loud, and im 15.

i go to shows all the time and my hearing is better then most

today linkin park gonna perform at my place .... cheers mate!!

i haven't been to too many big shows - mostly local bands & bands no one's ever heard of. the best live performance i've seen was by scaterd few. when we lived in kansas city, my husband went to see phish. i wish i could have gone. he said they were incredible.

Who would be the best live band? Who gives the best show?

I haven't really heard anyone that I thought was incredible live, but I can tell you that Evanescence is terrible live.

Best show of all time.........Nirvana (Heart Shaped Box tour), without a doubt. Coming in second would be ICP (Milenko tour)..........

Slipknot, Pantera, Soul Fly, Fear Factory, SOAD, Mudvayne, STP

The Dave Matthews Band puts out one of the best live shows you can possibly see...you really get your money's worth. Ive seen them live 3 times.

Also Disturbed puts out a really kick @ss live show. I saw them on Music as a Weapon 2 with Taproot, Chevelle, and Unloco.

good live bands well Deep Purple was awesome, so was Led Zeppelin and Marillion. thank good for the master mind that taped their shows

Pantera (although reinveting the steel wasn't as good)
AC/DC
Live (go figure)
RHCP
Jackel
Megadeth
Nickelback
Dave Matthews Band

Turbonegro

for me the best live band ever will be Kind Diamond/Mercyful Fate, Depeche Mode, Morning Again and Glay (Japanese Glam Rock Band)....

cheers mate!!

Im so jealous; you saw Zeppelin...I so want them to kick off a US tour....


Best live band live band Ive seen is probably 'Rammestein'... they so blow you away; but I cant listen to them at home strange.

But I go see bands all the time... but most are local.
