Re: Who\'s The Best Live Rock Band In The World Right Now?
Rush is there because of the length of show they put on (typically 3 hours), and because you can make an argument for the three musicians in the band being the absolute best at the instruments they play.
Springsteen is there because he's been a live rock legend for 25 years now, and because it's a huge band of great musicians who put on a really long show. Pearl Jam is there because they consistently put out a very long, completely unpredictable setlist (they did three nights in Boston with only one song repeated, playing something like 8 hours of music over the three nights). Radiohead and U2 are the only two I had to stretch to put on the list. They don't do anything remarkable with their live show in my opinion. Radiohead is better in the studio, and U2's shows are pretty repetitive. |

I have The White Stripes live on dvd, and am going to see them in person on the 24th...I couldn't be more excited about the show.

Re: Who\'s The Best Live Rock Band In The World Right Now?
I'll probably get totally flamed for this, but I've seen several of the bands listed here, and I must say that Metallica - on their worst day - puts on a way better live show.
Metallica. And it's not even close. |

I get that some (many) people don't like them... I get that some (many) people are into the SUPER DUPER WAY KOOL ONLY THE SOPHISTICATED TRUELY GET IT bands and music, but suggesting U2 suck live probably says more about your judgement then anything else... but I could be wrong... Best Concert I've seen was U2 - Elavation Live 2001 - Hamilton, Ontario (and it's not even close) |
