A nice change of direction as there is zero chance that the Roses finish top when it comes to live performances........... ;-)@BlueHammer85 How about a top 10 live bands/artists thread?

Not one for me in the charting (I wasn't surprised as my choices are based on deep concepts, lyrically, mostly)...
In NO particular order...
1 GOAT RODEO SESSIONS - GOAT RODEO SESSIONS

3 PUBLIC ENEMY - FEAR OF A BLACK PLANET
4 RICHARD ASHCROFT - HUMAN CONDITIONS
5 JERU THA DAMAJA - THE SUN ALSO RISES
6 BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS - THE BLUEPRINT
7 TALK TALK - SPIRIT OF EDEN
8 ROBERT CRAY BAND - TIME WILL TELL
9 ERIC CLAPTON - JOURNEYMAN
10 TERENCE TRENT D'ARBY 0 INTRODUCING THE HARDLINE
11 SEAL - SEAL
12 ROBERT CRAY BAND - TWENTY
13 PRINCE - DIRTY MIND
14 BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - THE RISING
15 SEAL - HUMAN BEING
16 WU-TANG CLAN - ENTER THE WU-TANG
17 MILES DAVIS - ROUND MIDNIGHT
18 PAUL SIMON - GRACELAND
19 GORILLAZ - PLASTIC BEACH
20 DAVID BOWIE - HEROES
Never really thought about it until now, but whilst I picked some albums that had an influence to my ear, I would have had to have a deep think about what changed me as a person. That would have been too long!
Also, I'm quite surprised my, somewhat, unexplored choices are split quite evenly along a race demographic, but no women? Even when I thought of one another artist forced them back a bit.
I surprised myself!

The Happy Mondays, at their peak, should absolutely fuck that poll all over the place.
They were fucking magnificent live.
@manimanc and @nickmcfc1 will no doubt have some words of wisdom on the topic of live performances.

Agree with you about the Monday's, proper show from a proper band.
The Charlatans are right up there for live performances and James also.
I'd also throw in Depeche Mode for being great live, seen them about 10 times.
Doves are magnificent live too, really tight and sound perfect, can't wait to see them next year in fact.
The Roses live performances aren't up there for me but just seeing the four of them walking out together on stage again at Heaton Park after thinking I might never see it was enough for me, Ian Brown live isn't Pavarotti as we know but the other three carry him through.
I'd also like to put forward The Saw Doctors live are very very good, full of energy and full of belting songs.

Totally agree re The Charlatans, James and Doves mate. Real bands who can really play.
The Inspirals have always nailed it every time I've seen them. Really tight, especially the drumming and vocals.
Madness have been immense every time I've seen them and they also "entertain" visually and put on a great spectacle.
Others I've come away from thinking "proper band" are Editors, Elastica and Tricky.

Lots of great live performances but in terms of live albums 2 that spring to mind straight away are The Band Last Waltz and Joy Division at Les Bains Douches. And anything by Kiss of courseThe Happy Mondays, at their peak, should absolutely fuck that poll all over the place.

Thin Lizzy Live and Dangerous my favourite live lp.
Ryan Adam's has loads of great live shows on Ryan Adam's archives.
The Drive by Truckers have a great live album as well.
Cannot believe I missed them out in my top 20 list as well with The Southern Rock Opera.
