mc_squared Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I would have to think what is the best live act I have seen overall. That has nothing to do with it.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 It has, you can't say band X is the best live act of all time if you haven't experienced it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyduckette Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Radiohead, for me anyway. Of course there's older bands but I don't know about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 So Kara, got many gigs lined up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonus_mosher Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 For me it's gotta be Coldplay, tenacious D or Taking Back Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc_squared Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 It has, you can't say band X is the best live act of all time if you haven't experienced it Then the question needs to be changed, as it's confusing.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawberry Swinger Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Who has been the greatest live act ever? The Stones, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Queen, Pink Floyd, Bowie, Nirvana or someone else? This Day in Music have just started a poll to find out. If you fancy voting for who you think should win go to http://www.thisdayinmusic.com You can vote for any act, just go to 'other' on the list. It's Michael Jackson - but you are too dumb to know that, with your lame avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnspieler1012 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 hmmmm, the Doors. Would have loved that:rolleyes: LOL. the doors are considered one of the worst live acts of all time. They were the only band who had to leave the stage in over 50% of their concerts because Morrison had overdosed and passed out on stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsing3112 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Queen (Freddie Mercury-Era, of course, Paul Rodgers sings good, but doesn't have so much charisma). And Radiohead (not really objective about them, actually xD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirrus Minor Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 ^^ i actually agree with you. i was watching some gigs by muse from 2001 and they used the same improv that they used at the end of stockholm syndrome on HAARP. but i chose Muse on the basis of their musical ability and chemistry on stage. i should add The Chemical Brothers. what most people dont realise is that the duo do all their mixing live on stage and if u listen to the complexity of some of their music it is unbelieveable. That's right. I saw them live, and they kicked ass, unlike Daft Punk or Justice who just make up a mixtape back home and press play at the beginning of the concert just to put their arms in the air for two hours...

HorrificAttack Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Sorry but Daft Punk was one of the best things I have ever seen live Radiohead are better than Muse live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 ^^ u cannot compare daft punk to chemical brothers. yeh they are both electronic but otherwise they make completely different brands of music. daft punk arent about beats and awesome mixes they're more about melodies and catchy tunes that dont require brilliant mixing ability. daft punk are great at mashing songs together, the chemical brothers are amazing at mixing. if they ever combined and did a show "i would like sooo totally die" haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirrus Minor Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Sorry but "mashing songs together" sounds a lot like "making a mixtape" to me. After I saw them, I listened to other performances from the Alive tour, and they were all the same. I mean, each second is the same. This shouldn't even be called a 'live performance'. It's no more than a mixtape being played in front of an audience. I think I've never been more disappointed in a band... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZooTelevision Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Best live act...easy... U2, ZOO T.V TOUR 1992 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n061Ua6K7M&feature=related]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n061Ua6K7M&feature=related[/ame] Educate yourself This thread can be closed, conversation is over :smug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 so when we meen live act we're including their stage set ups and everything? if we are i think thats very unfair. not every band has money like U2 or bon jovi does and therefore cant afford stages like theirs. i still feel that if u take away multi million dollar stages and 80 000 ecstatic fans, U2 are very average. best ever live aussie band : INXS and john butler trio and obviously AC/DC especially before the death of Bon Scott in 1979 (ie before Back in Black) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stemot1978 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Oasis. The best gig I have ever been too was at their gig at Finsbury Park where they were supported by:- The Coral BRMC Proud Mary The Charlatans fucking amazing gig and an even more amazing atmosphere.

crawlinwithin Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I'm sorry, but no-one in this forum can answer this question. The best live act ever? That's a pretty hefty statement, because lord knows there have been great live acts of the past. No one here I'm sure has seen bands like Cream, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones in the late 60s, early 70s when they were in their prime, or even Genesis and the Police in the 80s. Unless you've seen those shows, there's no way you can say that Muse, Radiohead, or Coldplay can beat them. Sure, as of recently, Muse has really been the powerhouse and an arena rock giant. I think even Thom Yorke would agree with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
