I’ve a couple of live albums that are good without any audience sound issues. The sound mixing is important and the band have to care.
I’ve one, where it’s a ‘live’ version of the album but done without an audience (Jeff Tweedy). It’s a nice idea and works as an good alternative to the original.

I know people have forgotten they exist, but I had this great Silverchair live album from like between the Neon Ballroom and Diorama period. It was dope. I guess it also depends on your sound system, and while the EXPERIENCE of being there isn't the same obviously, the sound was. That 10 minute Emotion Sickness was 🤌

Depeche Mode was the first concert I ever saw. I was totally blown away by it. Seen them 4 times since. I'm not mentioning the other concerts I've gone to with various partners as they've tended to be shite girly stuff. Yeah, great live band. Shame their studio output has been shite for a long time now  I'm also not a fan of stadium gigs but saw Prince twice in stadiums and he was utterly mesmerising, talk of the Muse singer going from guitar to keyboards is quite funny compared to Prince who effortlessly went from guitar to bass to drums to piano as well as acrobatic dancing, that incredible voice and those guitar solos. Some fave other live bands I've seen. Peter Gabriel Mercury Rev Mogwai Midnight Oil Wilco Natalie Merchant Idlewild Crowded House |

For SURE
Prince is incomparable
But Muse bro was the closest to that versatility I saw live
But yeah, Prince plays everything, and he was more than happy to show it to you throughout the show.
And bring out Sheila E and The Time.

I will always rank Maiden as the best live band I've seen. The sets, the musicianship, the performances. Everything is just top notch.
A close second would be Rammstein. This was years ago at one of the smaller halls of the secc so it was scaled down a bit. I was so close I could really feel the heat from all those flames...

That's the thing pre 07 Muse were immense live, there used to be a huge list of bootlegs to download and you could go from one show and the next and get 2 totally different gigs. Slow versions of heavy tracks and heavy versions of slow ones. Throw in the occasional Cave or Pink Ego Box. Man I wish those bootlegs were still available, I'd listen to them again.
These days it's all produced and choreographed for stadium shows.
I have an old ithing with some gigs on it. No idea if I could turn it on still and recover them.

I prefer live music to albums. The best example I have of this is My Morning Jacket. Their Okonokos album (which play It Still Moves and Z in their entirety) is a way better listen than the studio versions. |

The Jimi Hendrix Experience recordings are sensational. Recorded for various tv shows but pulled together. It's amazing. And even features Stevie Wonder on drums on 2 tracks. |

I normally listen via youtube uploads, no NOFX concert is ever the same. Mad Caddies live are great too. |

I've seen NOFX be terrible (Mike "I just dropped an E before we came on" springs to mind), but I've also seen them be amazingly mind blowing.

Absolutely they can be horrendous, I once saw them at a festival stand on stage for the first 10 minutes chatting because they didn't want to start until the long hairs on the stage behind finished who I think may of been The Drowning Pool. In saying that one of the better ones is on youtube and it's just after Trump was elected. Mike was so angry and emotional that set was brilliant. Another really good one is from 2013 in Ljubljana of all places. |

Ditto for Led Zeppelin - the version of 'Thank You' on their BBC Sessions album is sublime.
I really like Thunder Down Under by Hot Snakes, which was also recorded live in a studio.

Yeah, the Hendrix sessions are ridiculous. That was the first stuff of theirs I ever heard so that might colour my opinion a bit, but I'm still right, and so is Dougs. |

I’ve seen some top live shows. Most of the band I was into in the 90’s and oughts. Plus a few i got into after managing to hold myself upright long enough for at least a few songs at a festival.
Nirvana, Beasties, Public Enemy, Rage, Pavement, Massive Attack.
Bowie at Glastonbury 2000 was special. As was Orbital at the Megadog solar eclipse festival in Cornwall
Nothing really come close to the transcendental experience that was James motherfucking Brown, however. It was a show that really felt like you were in the presence of an actual god, with powers and shit. Hell, I would have gone home happy as hell if after the 40 minutes or so of just his band the show stopped without JB singing a note. I swear the man materialized on stage. One second the center of the stage was empty, just the band going away like the bombardment preceding the Somme, the next instant he was there giving it laldie

Danno Damn straight. Some of the purest guitar play ever. So raw and yet so perfect. Music as it should sound imo.

I don't know what the kids listen to these days.
Actually that's a lie, I do, and it's not good. There's a reason we only talk about old people music.

I had a proper grandad moment in McDonalds the other day. Listening to the music they were playing I was just head in hands moaning how the last 3 songs had used the exact same drum track but just changed the tempo slightly.
And I had a McPlant and it was okay.

I'm so stuck in 80's music wise I wouldn't recognise anything by Muse or Radiohead and I live in Muse's hometown.

Don't you want to break free from the 80s?

Dave Grohl always has a good chat with the audience - really likeable guy. He's the rock star you'd take your mother to see. And I almost did... but then Dave went and broke his leg and the gig got cancelled.

To be fair Dave Grohl plays music only your mother would want to hear.

Maybe a better chance of their 80s predecessors "fanny batter". |
