i would take out the boss out put the dead at number 1. i would also put in funkadelic. check out the houston 76 show and you will understand the awesome power of a fully operational mothership. george clinton is trully amazing live especially in the late 70's

u2? Really? I've seen concert footage (no, I'll never go to one of their concerts, even if it was free) and I don't see the draw or why they'd be ranked so high. Bono is nothing special as a frontman, Edge just stands there, same with the bassist. *shrug*. I'd really like someone to point out a concert vid to me showing why they deserve to be on this list.


And I'd also put KISS a lot higher. Not just because I'm a fan, but they put more energy and showmanship into a concert than ANY other band I've ever seen. The who? no. The stones? no. Kiss? Yes, the most energetic and fantastic stage show on earth. Pink Floyd puts up one of the greatest light shows ever, well they used to. I think Trans Siberian Orchestra has everyone beat in that category now.

mick jaggar is a great frontman he ia in his 70's and still puts out amazing energy and im sorry kiss is just awful maybe they have a great live show but i would never go due to the facy that i can not stand the music

AC/DC?? I may be biased but 70's AC/DC with Angus and Bon was some show! No pyro, no frill......just rock n roll mayhem!

Still that is a pretty good sample, of older bands...it's not really fair to a lot of the newer bands though.

I haven't really seen any major "newer" bands in concert ( outside of occasional TV broadcasts), but judging by what I've seen this is perfectly fair...and there's certainly no reason to assume it's NOT fair.
