Greatest live acts list - Wilco number 12


Recommended Posts

well that was when Pete was playing acoustic, and they had people like Billy Idol playing parts (i think he was the bell boy). my wife went to that, as well as to the recent one...it was pretty clear which she preferred.

 

The 90's shows had Entwistle, 'nuff said!

Every time RS makes a list I get pissed. For example - Rush is a Top 5 live act and has been for nearly 40 years.

I bet if you shared your thoughts about live acts that other people might reply to them.  Even if Jules doesn't, it could be fun.


My top live acts:

 

1. Trampled by Turtles (local, but I love them and that seems to make the shows more fun)

2. Bob Dylan (hit and miss obviously, but when he's on there's nothing better)

3. Tom Petty

4. Bruce. Duh.

5. Belle & Sebastian - since they got over themselves they've been a gas

That's a good idea. Mine:

 

1. Paul McCartney - I rarely play the Beatles anymore, unless they come up in my iTunes at work. But Sir Paul's nearly 3-hour shows, all 3 times I have seen them, were life-affirming, life-changing events. Amazing.

2. Wilco - Yep. I'd rank 'em that high. They are in a zone.

3. Bruce Cockburn - Still gets my vote for best living guitarist in the world. He could play an instrumental-only show and it would be mesmerizing. But he also has a million great songs.

4. The Who - Well, what's left of 'em, anyway.

5. Buddy Guy - Going to see him for the 5th or 6th time in November, and can't wait. When it comes to blues, nobody else has a tone like that. Closest I will ever get to hearing Hendrix live.
