Best live bands Options

[edstipe]

Which current bands do you consider to be the best in concert?

My list:

- Pearl Jam
- R.E.M.
- Arcade Fire
- Wilco
- Radiohead
- Nine Inch Nails

Of course, there are many others that I haven't actually seen live, so I have to omit them until I do...

You know, I had the exact same experience with Muse. I like their music and had heard that they were great...but they were a huge letdown when I saw them.

However, I decided to give them a second chance and will be seeing them in L.A. in April. Perhaps a different night/venue/crowd will make the difference. We'll see.

Jeez, that's so weird! I saw them at Rock Werchter and they were awesome, then I saw them again last December in Antwerp and they totally blew me away!! Honestly, I've seen quite a few concerts, but I've never felt so much energy flowing between a band and the crowd! (must say: I wasn't at Live's HMH show in Holland last year; that probably would have topped it) The music and Matt's voice sounded awesome, the light show was really cool and they were definitely having fun! Do they play in big venues in the US?

They're in my top 3, together with Live and Admiral Freebee.
