Best live band you have ever seen?

[cornish seagull]

Steve Miller Band, Knebworth 76' was my best live band. Great line up with Captain Beefheart, Linda Lewis and Pink Floyd being the headline act, but Steve Miller just rocked!

ha, when life begins. Instead of the sarky comments then, I'll throw in Ocean Colour Scene, who while somewhat ordinary at times on studio albums, were dynamite and completely improvising live. I did see Spiritualized at the Concorde2 a couple of years ago who really did blow me away. Oasis in Las Vegas were special (but I was out of my mind), Pink Floyd at Earls Court although I was too far back to fully appreciate them, Faith No More nearly bought the ceiling down at Portsmouth Pyramid centre in the '90's.
