is this the greatest live band of all time?

King Crimson

Can't believe they have not been mentioned, Unless I missed it.

 For my money I'll go with Queen

IMHO  Freddie Mercury ruled the stage like no other.😎

Bruce Springsteen and U2

Hey all,
Interesting video. Kinda reminds me of some concerts from the early seventies after appropriate preparation...
Having seen him many times I'd go with Rory Gallagher for most energy, although J Geils was close - at a local high school no less, and Humble Pie whose Rockin' the Fillmore pretty much duplicates the show I saw.
Someone else mentioned (sorry, I can't see the name from here) and I missed, so I've kicked myself for decades - Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic in BERLIN.

No one can pick a “greatest” because every  person has their own opinion of what the greatest live band is.  Each great band had their moments of greatness in concert. I saw Yes in 73 and they were absolutely great, but the Yessongs album which was taken from several tour stops was their Masterpiece. I love that album. And they had many other Live performances that could never measure up to what they achieved those nights when Yessongs were being taped. How about Chicago Live at Carnegie Hall- one of the best live rock performances ever.  But did everything ever come together in other live shows they performed like it did when they recorded at Carnegie Hall? I don’t know. I was at a Pink Floyd Concert during their Momentary Lapse of Reason tour and it was the best outdoor concert sonically I ever heard. The whole area was thundering and rumbling yet with great clarity. Many great live bands were mentioned in the thread. Greatest live band is impossible to say.
