Best live bands.....
- Thread starter Full court press
- Start date
I've seen PJ several times and it's always great. Will be going to the Dallas show next month and can't wait. Their my favorite band so I'm biased I know.
Rage was an incredible show. I remember being exhausted when I left and just wanting to lay down and sleep.
Blue October doesn't play in big venues but if you ever have a chance to check them out it's worth it.
Beastie Boys are up there for me. I think part of their energy is the crowd because most new almost all of the lyrics and rapped with them.
I also love Dave Matthews. Great band, great energy and not many concerts have better looking girls bouncing around singing.

Saw the Dolls in 74 or there about. God we were blitzed. I heard it was a great show though. One of the first Punk bands on the scene,they were much different than the status quo.

Long Live Rock and Roll :Yep:
Dude, that's an iawesome list. I might be good for 15% of the list. No Roxy Music? I'm surprised that you missed them.
My top few favorite pre 1990 rock bands were:
I tried to recall how many times I've seen each ( )
Beatles (never saw)
Roxy Music (7)
Brian Ferry (3)
Devo(8 or so local home town boys)
The Pretenders (3) Chrissy H also from here)
Queen (5)
Mott the Hoople (4)
Grand Funk Railroad (2)
ZZ Top (3)
Kiss (1)
Black Crowes (1)
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band (3)
I really loved Mott and Queen actually opened up for Mott on one tour...
I'll bet you and me may be the only 2 here that liked and saw the NY Dolls.
Also Loved and have seen live on your list
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
CSNY
Stones
Heart (surprisingly excellent concert at U of Akron)
and a few others....
Would have loved to have seen Alice in Chains, I'll bet they were great before Stanley died.
Really impressed with your list though, it's quite diverse in rock and roll terms. :Yep:

As much as we don't care a whole lot about the Bobcats up here you are correct, they're terrific.They actually entertain their audience and are not like every other marching band in the land. There is a pretty good rivalry between them and the Buckeye band and dispute as to who is better. I like them both, kind of an apples and oranges thing.
anyone seen the new MTV Nirvana" Live and Loud " concert in Seattle VH1 just put out ?..great stuff, played both Nevermind and In Utero material... classic tearing up there gear and the stage to end the show....VH1 still airing it every few days......
Agree, although I put Metallica a tad bit in front of them. Another great live band with nonstop music is ZZ Top. Other great live performances I have seen are Stone Temple Pilots, Jackyl, Aerosmith, Suicidal Tendencies, and Alice in Chains.
One band that won't be mentioned here is Iron Maiden. I have seen a lot of bands, and they were the worst. I mean, I put bands that I have seen ahead of them like The Violent Femmes, Richard Marx, Trisha Yearwood, and the B 52's. they absolutely sucked ass.
Give us an update brother steve and hoping it's a good one. Hope you had a wonderful time.
Nobody better then Greg and the boys.

The Piano player on the left .... was amazing, great show!!!! Greg said, "I ain't slipping yet" :lol: Shitty Pic:facepalm:
I agree Saint! Seen this band and Dave Matthews more than any other and they are great in concert.
:toast:
the whole story behind that concert was awesome. I saw Tom Morello open for Rise Against 2 years ago in Manchester on Guy Fawkes night (5th of November) and he put on a great show.
