Best live band

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Well, actually seen none of them. Grobschnitt are said to have been one of the live bands ever - but I'm to young to have seen them (just a short concert on TV, which was quite good).
Focus (the new one) are a cool life band, and the Steve Hackett band is quite good as well.

	In the words of the wise old man (well Fragile anyway), "playing live, Yes have no equals".

	Why does everybody always forget ZAPPA's band?! His bands were always TIGHT and they PRACTICED very much, so they all new what was GOING ON. YOU KNOW! I am reading The Real Frank Zappa book at the moment and FZ had all kinds of signals and then the band started playing in a "Metal"-way or SKA. And of course his compositions were very complex.

	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!
	Don't hate me I'm not special like you

	Out of that lot I've only seen Rush, so I'll have to vote for them. The other proggies I've seen are not on your list. Rush were excellent anyway, as were Pink Floyd, It Bites, Hawkwind..
	Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

	My vote goes to King Crimson with Grobshnitt running in at a close second.
