2. Queen - If you have ever seen their live concert at Wembley Stadium in London you will know exactly why Queen is considered to be one of the best live rock bands of all time. Freddie Mercury's voice is almost the exact same live as it is on album.
3. The Who - Aside from their famous trademark, smashing their instruments after a concert has been played, The Who can put on a great live show. With members like Keith Moon, John Entwistle, Roger Daltrey, and Pete Townshend playing for the band throughout the years it is easy to see why The Who are one of the best live rock bands of all time.
4. Jimi Hendrix - Ever since his debut in the mainstream when he played live at Woodstock, Jimi Hendrix has put on a show. His most famous example of showmanship is when he played the "Star Spangled Banner" with his teeth.
5. AC/DC - AC/DC is well known for being a band that can put on quite a live show. Angus Young and Brian Johnson have made the band so well known as a live band. They have become famous not only for their hard rock and pioneering of the metal genre, but they are also famous for their energetic and great live shows.
6. The Rolling Stones - The main reason that the Rolling Stones made it on the list for best live rock bands of all time is that they are still touring. This band was formed in the 1960's and they are still on the road doing live concerts.
7. Van Halen - Van Halen has been one of the best live concerts to go to for some time now. Their great solos that Eddie Van Halen can play make them so great to see.
8. Eric Clapton - Clapton has become one of the greatest live guitarists to ever live. The reason he has become so great is that he has played with so many other musicians live but he lets them take the main role in the concert. Though he does do this, he is also a great live musician.
9. KISS - Here is a band that relied solely on their image. This leads to great live shows. This band was never that great of a band, yet they became a worldwide hit because they put on such a great show.
10. Pink Floyd -Here is the greatest psychadelic band to ever. They really did adhere to their crowd with their outstanding laser shows that they had during their live performances.

Post a CommentGreat list. The Floyd should be higher... Best 2 concerts I ever saw...
Good list. I would make one small change by removing Kiss and adding Fleetwood Mac. I never thought Kiss was a band with much musical talent.
No Muse? Or Radiohead? Or U2? Or the Flaming Lips? I love a lot of those bands- but three rising and lowering towers that have have video on all sides, insane light shows, brilliant effects, a reflective-spotlight guitar, and the band's overall energy and brilliance makes them deserve a high-ranking spot on there. Even if most of those bands were around now, few would be able to make anything that could rival Muse live.
Any list of best live bands of all time that doesen't include U2 fails
Muse sucks.. LED ZEPPELIN - MONSTERS OF ROCK!
where's U2
Rammstein? Better than KISS by miles.
great list, and yes thank god for no muse and good job for giving credit to the real classic rock legends
No Muse? Pathetic.
can we have honorable mentions like Guns N Roses and Metallica?
