Cool stuff

[Chacco]

nice article thank you edgette!

 

[ponkine]

Which were the other bands?

IMO, if the list didn't include Queen, Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, The Rolling Stones, and others then the list is forgettable

It seems that I'm one of the very few here who think the best performances were in the first half of the 80s

 

[coemgen]

Awesome.

Is Mute Math on there?

A great show.....an earth shattering spiritual movement of a show. they never cease to lite the fire within.

The Spin article is on best live CURRENT bands. So Queen and Pink Floyd are out. Peter Gabriel too, since he has not toured in a few years. The Stones are the only one of those bands that could really be on the list, and they may not be at their best now. At least Spin does not think so.

But Arcade Fire made it on #3!!! I'm dying to see them!

Wow, why is there a huge gap of empty seats in that audience pic?
I understand that maybe they took it before the concert, but the surrounding area seems fairly full. Kinda odd.

the sound system and shirts stalls block their view.
