Please, only 4 votes for Genesis?
The best show was presented by Peter Gabriel witrh his costumes and stories, the concerts were so great that there's a band that dedicates their whole career to recreate those great shows (Talking about The Musical Box)
Genesis Live and Archives I are great musical expresions of what Genesis was, some tracks are even better than in studio.
You can't get better than this!!!!! And remember everything in the 70's!!!!

You can't be serious about that, Cesar... gosh, more than any other band I've seen in the last few years... he practically put me to sleep. I thought his voice was horrible.. and the theatrics a bit like bad off-broadway....It was more like the lamb lied down and died....

The lunatics are playing on the grass! Rush or anyone else - Yes are the greatest live band in the business it's not even close.

Yep, you just hit the head of the nail. It's a matter of perspective. Yes ain't better than Rush or than Grobschnitt or you name it who... it's just being conscious and dare telling excellent, well crafted pieces of work from crappy, out of the blue works. No matter who you support or like better.
Cheers!

"Hold Your Fire Tour"? "Power Windows Tour"? "A show of hands"? Yeah, they pretty much suck to me. I have gone through this one... maybe you'd like to check out my review on "A show of hands", come back here and scoff a lil' bit more about it. Maybe Rush playing live along a Mariachi will improve their sound and instrumentation!
You're a Rush fan to the bone, and I respect that. Just try to enlarge the picture where there are people like me that hate the sound of Rush live. I'm certainly not a big fan, but I enjoy plenty of their studio recordings. (BTW, whenever you're in Mexico I'd be glad to be your tour guide and take you to Plaza de Garibaldi and listen to great Mariachi!) 
Peace!

I've not seen Yes a lot but the times I have they gave an oustanding performance each time... Jons vocals are still near enough perfect..and the other musicians are equally excellent. They always give their fans a night to remember each time and wanting more.
Quite simply Yes are the best band live without a shadow of doubt.
Then its Mostly Autumn , they do great live gigs.

King Crimson are truly impressive on stage. My vote goes to them.
However, today I listened to IQ's 'Forever live' and it blew me away, nice performance by these guys and last year I saw them live in Paris and they were still on top form.
A.C.T. is also a pretty good live band.

Looks like the poll's been "nobbled" by the Rush fans, they're even ahead of MC!!

OK then... but if I had been given the chance to give three votes instead of just one, I would have included GG and JT - even though Ian Anderson's voice is now very lost, and he can't jump that frantically due to old age, he and the rest of the band still rock on stage.
And GG... well, the legacy of GG's live performances has a spectacular greatness that still shakes me 25 years after - that combination of skill, humour and inventiveness has to be seen to be believed (it's already unbelievable when only heard!!). Somehow the found the "formula" to be pretentious without getting over-pretentious and applied it.
No discrimination intended for Yes, ELP, KC or PF... it's just that I prefer these three acts better!
Regards.

That sums up Rush Cesar 
They look after themelves physically and mentally and continue to challenge themselves and each other musically in their writing. Thats why they've never lost it IMO.

Once I watched 'Rush in Rio', I had no doubt about who are and always have been the most explosive prog live act. Not that others were useless or numb, which they weren't, but Rush... well... they're almost as old as other prog veterans such as the Andersons, Emerson, Howe, Fripp, Collins,... and you can tell the Lee/Lifeson/Peart combo steals the limelight (without intending to live in it, as the Moving Pictures song no. 4 states...)
Regards.

Oh well.. the only of those bands ive seen recently was Jethro Tull but it still wasn't as memorable as seeing Rush many many years ago.
Maria Carey?! I think i may have missed something there..
Oh BTW i saw Hawkwind a couple of months ago and they were absolutely brilliant!

Its good to see the Hawks still going, and actually getting better. Well, better than they were ten years back or so. If someone had told me, back in the 80's, that they'd still be going in 2004,I would have laughed. They looked at deaths door then!
Only seen them twice and with the same line up. It was good tight line up, but not their most varied in terms of sound. They were pretty metal at the time, but very good nonetheless. I would imagine they're better nowadays.
I've got tickets for Rush next month. Its their 30th anniversary and they are apparently doing 3+hour long shows
