Best live band

Any poll like that, you're gonna have zillions of fans pointing out omissions from the list!  My first reaction was, where's Hawkwind?

Sadly, I've seen none of the listed ones  so I shall be seriously ethical and not vote. But, if they were all gigging in town simultaneously, I'd plump for Crimson.

Everything from the earliest appearances, through the Lamb, and into the the Collins era up to Duke If you ever go to the forum of the  Hit & Run Group  (Official Genesis rights owners) you'll see that about 40 or 50% of the members are Gabriel era fans, and we ask for that material ten times a month. But Hit & Run doesn't care, they say there's no Lamb video and never read a convincing reason about why they don't release the material they have. I believe they are only interested in 3 men era music. So, I'm almost sure they won't release that material ever, even if hey have it. I know for a fact that they played 'In the cage' and 'Unquiet slumbers for the sleepers' at that show, and they cut it out of the recording This proves my fears, they only want to release their crappy 3 men era music, even when they have the material they mutilate it.

Must admit I've only looked at the site once and it plastered with 'We cant dance' logos. That was a while back. It was enough to make me think it was only aimed at fans of very late Genesis.

I have to dissagree with with your hatred of the three man band. They were still good on ATTWT and Duke IMHO.  But, I agree, crap thereafter...

Out of the entire list, I've seen KC, Yes, Rush and Jethro Tull... but still, I think both Pink Floyd concerts in Mexico City were outstanding! a pretty high fence for the others to leap...

I dont believe that more than 10 of the current members list have seen the classic Genesis line up live.

I'm afraid you're right, thanks God there are quite a few good Genesis concert bootlegs in DVD format and The Musical Box are on tour (The closest experience to a Classic Genesis concert).

By the way, the only prog' bands I ever saw in person are Yes, ELP, Jethro Tull, Kansas, Rick Wakeman, Pink Floyd and Crimson and a couple more I can't remember.

Great bands don't come very often to Perú nor I'm old enough to have seen most of them in the 70's, but thanks to technology I saw most of the great bands on DVD.

VISUALLY = GENESIS
