Best Band Live????

Pearl Jam. There is no greater live band than them and they change the set list every night.

i was sure you was going to say, van halen.

Nine Inch Nails - no matter who the 'live band' features, always packed full of true musicians.

Radiohead & REM are also worth a mention.

RUSH
Pink Floyd equal to that..... but must say that Frank Zappa was excellent back in the day.

Yes mate I agree and paradice garrage next door, what a venue P.O.W ! The Dammed put on a good show there as well..!

DJ Tiesto live was the best gig I've been to. Rollin' Stones and Kasabian were also good live. Scratch Perverts rocked the venue when I saw them back in the early 00s.

Oasis, kasabian and the enemy,

Cramps - Top Rank
Cramps - Leicester
Theatre of Hate - Top Rank

Oasis were boring.

The best gigs I've been to are the ones in small clubs, referred to as intimate venues.

Anyway my most intimate were Skids, SLF at Granny's and UB40 Birmingham Rumrunner 1980 along with UK SUbs at cheltenham Whitcombe Lodge and also a cdownstairs club in Port Talbot Shopping center.
The Opppressed in Berlin and Bad manners .and the Pogues in Brixton Acadamy and Dublin

Big bands in big venues just turn into mass anthem. singing

No, they weren't a football team, they were a punk rock band

The Jam at Sophia Gardens, November 1980. No band has bettered that night for me.

No they were banned from the Top Rank, so they played in Caerphilly instead, Johhny Rotten played there a few years later with his band PIL

Pink Floyd

Oh and uk subs in Caerphilly checkmate late 80s

Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Guns N' Roses (original Line up)......all excellent Live

Saw many of there gigs including that one.

1.The Clash on the white riot tour

2. Saw Doctors Glasgow Barrowlands

3. Levellers at Edinburgh liquid rooms

All were in small venues. Much better than stadium gigs in my opinion.

I did some work with Budgie and those lads always put on a good show

Also saw John Martyn in a pub in Perthshire a year or so before he died awesome

U2 at the millenium stadium/wembley stadium

There is no better live band yesterday, or today than ZZ Top in the 70's

the prodigy for me. not even a particular fan of them. can remember seeing them at a festival when they were playing the same time as kasabian. heard kasabian were good live but they were utter gash, seriously awful. wandered along to the prodigy and had an awesome night
