Best Live Bands?

[BimboBob]

save your money watching anyone less than Bruce Springsteen and The E street Band..you will never see better live performers.

Unless you think he's a screechy buffoon with as much talent as my little toe. Trying so hard to get into him, but can't.


Great bands/ Acts I have seen play very well live...

The Who.
Faith No More.
Gary Numan.
Quo. Frantic four back in the groove at a slightly run down Wolverhampton Civic Hall a few years ago.

Outstanding concerts...

Depeche Mode. The One Night in Paris DVD. We were there that night and it was outstanding.
ELO. Hyde Park for the Radio 2 gig. A lot of emotional baggage comes from my childhood with that band but it was truly outstanding.
ELO again in Birmingham. The light show, plus the orchestra, elevated it. Brilliant.

Not so good...

Motorhead, a few months before Lemmy died. Could hardly hear his voice.
Sabbath. Once again, shit front man. Mumbling. Constantly.

Saw them at the MEN 5 or 6 years ago and they were absolutely superb

Had a spare ticket and took a good mate who wasn’t a big fan of them and they blew him away

Bruce Springsteen & the E street. Depends what floats your boat. Gutted i never got to see Pink Floyd or Prince live.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Brighouse and Rastrick take some beating.
