I voted for King Crimson, because they are unpredictable (not programmed) and they have a real live presence, in short: a real live band. I liked the Pink Floyd concerts a lot too, but they were much more thought out, not spontaneous. King Crimson: when they play live, it's really happening

I would have thought of voting GENESIS too. Of these I voted Rush even if it's not among my highest favourite bands. All Rush live albums that I've heard sound amazingly fine (for a trio! How do they make it?).

Voted Rush.

Off that list I have only seen Rush, Pink Floyd, Metallica & Judas Priest live, so cant judge the others.

Despite not being an ELP fan, the footage I've seen of Emerson on stage is quite staggering. Spinning in the air, strapped to a grand piano, while playing it note perfect, is quite something!!

Metallica are the only band in the list that I've seen live, but, from listening to some of Live Scenes in New York, Dream Theater seem like they'd be awesome live. (So I guess I'm voting for Dream Theater.)
It's only knock and knowall, but I like it...

I chose Deep Purple as they are the only group on the list (besides Rush) that I've seen perform. That was back in '73 and they were absolutely fantastic! The stage literally shook and the players sweated through "Smoke on the water", "Highway star", "Women from Tokyo" and many more. The best word I can use to describe it was passion, these guys played with a vengeance!

Rush were technically superior to Deep Purple but didn't show the same spontaneity. I found them more "mechanical" and "by the numbers".

Listen to Porcupine Tree live albums, or WATCH THEM LIVE!!

I've seen bands like DT, Jethro Tull, Ian Anderson by himself, and Robert Fripp, and so on...

I've never seen so good perfoming precision as PT's one. I try not to rely on the power or sound of the live perfomance, but just analyzing the quality!

My personal favourites are PT and Jethro Tull..

And sorry..I FORGOT ABOUT GENESIS....it's a must be....
