    Oasis are by far the best live band I've ever heard!

    I'm gonna get slated for this, but I dont care.
    The Sawdoctors :D
    Consistently a great live show.

    Feeder were good this year, Oasis were too.. probably the best live I've ever seen them.
    I hope Jet come back this way soon - they were fantastic live.
    Phonics put on a great show at the point also.
    Have to agree with Interpol also.
    Oh, and if you were in the pit at Croker (like me), U2 wasnt that bad ;)

    To see that nobody has said Led Zeppelin or Smashing Pumpkins is shocking. Both band full of talented musicians. They can both brutalise you live. I've seen neither unfortunately but hey Pumpkins are coming back. Great stuff!

    Pearl Jam, no need for massive flashy stages or anything, just solid 2 1/2 to 3 hour shows with multiple encores with an ever changing set list, no boring set routine with maybe one or two alterations each night like most bands, PJ's set list is changed every night

    Best I've seen would be Sigor Ros, Air, Arcade Fire and Muse. Moby was up there as well!

    The question asks whos the best around at the moment lizzy.Pumpkins are no more my friend and the Zeppelin havent put on a fantastic show in quite a while now.
    Jeekers you come in here and get smarmy and shocked for no reason whatsoever.You should take a long hard look at yourself buddy.
    Anyway the answer is obviously Muse as stated already

    Best ever live band not around would be KISS - there is no other show that can match what they do but for the best live band around I would probably say Iron Maiden.

    damien rice, but before anyone beats me to death he is so class live! I've been to see him maybe 8-9 times and he has been amazing everytime....it makes you appreciate the music more. I don't think you fall in love with Damien Rice without seeing him live.

    Also, Stars were brilliant live as was Devendra Banhart

    Turn are great for a bit a fun too!

    Right, I haven't, but I presume it's about how good they are live.

    well put it this way, i've been to about 20 concerts (4 of them have been of biffy) (5th time in december :D)

    they never put on the same show twice, it's difference every time, they put so much energy into playing live and for the lucky few who live in glasgow get to see them play their last show of the year where they do something special (last year it was a b-side/rarities gig, this year they are playing their new album in full). they live by the motto "when you start to repeat stuff in your music it's time to stop making music

    they are tour-a-holic's they've played 5 shows in ireland this year already (dublin, belfast, derry, cork, limerick) and pencilled in another 4 for december (dublin, belfast, galway, limerick).
