    Also just to add on , I find it amazing when people are upset over other's picks , I may not be into DMB but hey if you are more power too you , live music is amazing and if you enjoy it then more power too you.

    I should have added Bane as a close third even though they are broken up

    Or New Found Glory as a back up for my third.

    Exactly.  Phish is nowhere near my favorite band but you have to respect the work and following they have built with their live shows. They are band that the average person has never heard of yet can draw 60,000 fans. Also DMB had been grinding it out nearly every year for like 50 dates a year since 91 and still pulls a good audience. Honestly with Pearl Jam, it’s the reason I’m here. Mixing up sets and putting on a great live show keeps you coming back for more, not sure why more bands can’t grasp that. I really didn’t know or care about Pearl Jam but I kept hearing rumblings that they were a great live band, being a fan of live music I bought Live in Tokyo 3-3-03 on a whim and haven’t looked back since. Release was the first songg I heard and remains my favorite to this day.

    Springsteen has been playing 3 1/2 hours per night with no breaks and no encore for 40 years. I saw him at Wembley in 2012 or 2013 and a 30-something guy behind me said, "That sucks. I have to go the rest of my life knowing I will never see anything better than that." 

    Go to the bathroom when he starts introducing the band.

    I would hope that nobody is listing any artists they haven't seen live... I have not seen MMJ.
