Who has been the greatest live act ever? (1 Viewer)

[Dis Amrahs]

I Wish i could've seen them when they had released Kid A and Hail to the Thief.. Those are two of my favourite albums ever

Edit: OK Computer is also a masterpiece but i was very young

There's talk of radiohead coming out late june/early july.
BUT the main reason they don't tour as often as other bands is because of the whole "planes ruin the environment" thing that thom yorke is obsessed with.

 

[Dis Amrahs]

June/July eh? I'm keen.

Unwritten Law.

The greatest performer should be a band who draws the crowd in, whether in an intimate location or not- and just puts 100% on the line, and enjoys themselves.
pyrotechnics and big screens shouldn't be what determines this.

I've never seen anyone come out of a Law gig disapointed, hence, them.

brutal vocals and instrumentals make for a smashing good time in the pit

 

[chelsea girl]

Patti Smith
Sonic Youth
Patrick Wolf (at Shepherds Bush Empire in London)
The Stooges
Queens Of The Stone Age

 

[s-p-a-c-e-d]

the best i've seen have been:
Patrick Wolf (at Shepherds Bush Empire in London)

how was this compared to his sydney shows? because i think the gig at the basement was the most amazing thing i've ever seen.

 

[Dis Amrahs]

Did you see The Stooges at the BDO? Man Iggy can work the stage like a mofo. Too bad hes gone back on his legacy working with jet, releasing the weirdness etc

 

[Beege]

Muse, Rage Against The Machine & Arcade Fire For Me

it was an especially special show because it was the last one of the year and the tour, and just a few days before christmas, so it was like an awesome party. and he had bishi playing with him on some songs. it was just wonderful.
i mean, it was the whole occasion that was particularly memorable for me: being in london, and then going to the afterparty, meeting awesome people... i'll never forget it.

 

[Pantera]

Lamb of God and Pantera were both unbelievable live.

 

[Terlob]

without a doubt it would have to The Ramones - It's Alive

the single greatest live act ever, no question

qft.

They did have a lot of practice though, 2,263 concerts over 22 years.

 

[bliss2223]

June/July eh? I'm keen.

By no means certain, so if it doesn't happen...im not a lying whore.
just putting it out there.
I'm more than keen more a radiohead experience...one of my favourite bands yet i havent had the pleasure of them live.
I personally was hoping for an appearance at BDO next year.
MASSIVE fail.
On a happier note, i'm going to see Franz Ferdinand/The Cribs in Jan.
Word is, the Cribs are bloody amazing live.
Last band i saw was muse, so they're going to have to work hard to compete with them.
