Ike and Tina Turner Revue (mid 70's)
This may surprise some, given the nature of many of my other music posts, but I'd cite Ike and Tina around '75 as one of the best live shows I've ever seen.
Coincidentally Tina was at her hottest then, wearing that torn leather dress I saw them at an oudoor venue on a perfectly still Summers day, and we were able to position ourselves centre front of the stage. The act began with the core band doing a few long complex instrumental pieces with a lot of percussion, not at all unlike Santana, before Ike and the Ikettes took the stage for a selection of oldies. Tina took the stage last for a very long energetic show. Covers ranged from Alice Cooper to Sly and the Family Stone. The sound was impossible to improve upon, you could clearly hear the bell? or triangle on 'Nutbush City Limits' and the band was as tight as a touring band with their long history could possibly be. Sadly I've never heard a disc or record that comes close to this performance. |

i think that rush has to be top five at least. when they were first starting out, they got their reputation from being a really good band live. and thirty years later they still have it, although they are a little slower than they used to be cheers.

I've been to hundreds of shows, maybe close to or even over a thousand... almost 25 years in the music industry can offer you that kinda perk! I don't think there's a single band that I've seen multiple times that has been great every time... Even the likes of Springsteen & Prince who can stun live, have left me cold on occasion.
Some shows though will stay with me forever... Led Zeppelin @ Knebworth 79 The Rolling Stones @ the 100 Club 81 and The Enmore Theater, Sydney 2003 Guns n Roses (the original line up, Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff & Steven Adler) @ The Marquee '87 The Clash @ Hammersmith Odeon 79 U2 @ Madison Sq Garden 2005 Prince @ aftershow party London 1988, and Madison Square Garden, Paris 87 & Madison Square Garden 2004 Springsteen (with E Street Band) @ Giants Stadium 2008 & Wembley Stadium 1985 Springsteen (with The Seeger Sessions Band) @ Madison Sq Garden 2006 Public Enemy @ Brixton Acadamy 1989 ZZ Top @ The Marquee 1983 Queen @ Hammersmith Odeon 79 Oasis @ The Astoria 94 Jane's Addiction @ The Borderline 1988 KISS @ Wembley Arena 1980 AC/DC @ Hammersmith (with Bon Scott) 79 The Who @ Kiburn 1977 Last edited by jb.nyc; July 24th, 2009 at 04:49 PM..
