Calling Jimmy Buffet "rock" is a stretch. [/ QUOTE ] True, but it's a great show.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, U2 definitely doesn't suck. They're also definitely not the best live rock band in the world right now. Playing nearly the exact same setlist and saying nearly the exact same things to the audience every night is pretty lame when you have as huge of a catalog to work with as they do.

Re: Who\'s The Best Live Rock Band In The World Right Now?
I don't get to a ton of shows, but I imagine there are many better live performers out there...
Metallica is fun live... Ozzie was good... SOTD was suprising awesome and Tool has to be the best I've seen.

Tool. [/ QUOTE ] I almost put them on the list. The tour they put on for Lateralus was excellent. I also almost put on Nine Inch Nails, but from what I've seen, they're more about lighting effects than they are about the music.

Re: Who\'s The Best Live Rock Band In The World Right Now?
I voted U2. While I've never seen them live in person, I really enjoy several of their live songs. I don't care if they're mainstream. I don't care if every teenage girl in this country listens to them. I don't care if their guitar riffs are uncomplicated. I don't care that they aren't "underground" or "on the cutting edge of music." I don't care if liking them makes me not cool.
I like their music and I have since grade school, it's just that simple. That said, I probably wouldn't pay to see them live. At this point, I think they're just too much a moneymaking machine to really do anything exciting. I'm not much of a concert guy though anyway. I'd rather sit in my room completely stoned and listen to a CD. AIC live was probably [censored] sweet live too, but I never got the chance.

Re: Who\'s The Best Live Rock Band In The World Right Now?
fwiw i am tempted to say that as far as "rock" bands NOW, that i've seen live, polyphonic spree is way near the top of the list for me. i might think of another that's better, but for now polyphonic spree is the best that comes to mind.

[/ QUOTE ] is more likely implying U2 sucks live then U2 is a great live band but there are some new bands out there that are awesome live

Re: Who\'s The Best Live Rock Band In The World Right Now?
Elvis Costello puts on an amazing live show. He doesn't have it this go-round, but he used to have this wheel on stage where audience-members would go up and spin it and it would click to a song of his. Then they would tell him what style to play it in, reggae for example and he would do it on the spot. A truly incredible musician.
He has Emmylou Harris on tour with him this time. She's pretty phenomenal too. Oh and he has a hot (and talented) wife.
