Okay, from now on lets make a rule that anyone who has no fucking idea what that child porn case was about and what happened during and as a result of it should shut the fuck up.
It has NOTHING got to do with the quality of their shows I am afraid...;)

One of my favourite bands at the moment, but I've never seen them playing live. So I would really like to know something more. It must be hard to play that kind of music live and it must be even harder to sing that way. I absolutely love them on the records, but I don't know what to expect from a live show.
When i saw them as an opening band they only got 45 minutes to play so that really cramps them.
When i saw them on their own headline tour it was incrediable. 2 hours of nonstop music. They would just blend one song into another it was one huge jam. They took Drunken Lanterns and turned it into a 15 minute jam. They tend to do a lot of improv live.
Cedric sounds incrediable he hits the notes you would think he can't hit live. Omar for the most part i thought was great. I saw them with Jon theodore and he is a drumming machine. I loved his work. They are worth seeing espcially if you catch them on their own. I am honest when i saw them at the tabernacle in atlanta it was not just one of the coolest concerts i've seen.

By far the biggest disappointment for me at a live show was The Smashing Pumpkins. After adoring all their albums, I saw them on their last tour through Canada and they were horrible live. Sound, singing, set list, etc all left ALOT to be desired.

Nearly everything I've ever heard live from Smashing Pumpkins is mindblowing.
Billys voice has to be the worst in rock ever!! it sounds like nails on a chalkboard...
I love his voice but I'm not gonna argue that he's a great singer... same goes for Bob Dylan and Neil Young though, so think about my affection for Corgan how you might see those 2 and maybe you can understand
I think the Chili Peppers pretty much always win (lose?) these threads.
I am going to say Green Day, as of American Idiot. Having seen them twice before, they really kinda sucked, could have played a good 5-7 more songs if Billie Joe hadn't spent the entire night leading the crowd in "Heeyyy... Ho..." and other such stupid shit. They made their most grown up record yet, and then went on tour and played to the 12 year olds... good job guys.
The Man has a branch office in each of our brains, his corporate emblem is a white albatross, each local rep has a cover known as the Ego, and their mission in this world is Bad Shit.
Bob Dylan. I'm a Huge Dylan fan, but his live show could have been alot better. It wasn't all his fault though, the Sound in the Houston Astrodome sucks, that's why the seats are cheap. But, Bob didn't say a single word all night, and the band messed up lay lady Lay (they should have started over). I'll keep in mind that this was part of the Rodeo, so the set was short. I'd like to see Bob again cause maybe he just didn't get a good vibe from that whole live stock rodeo setting. I'm hoping to see him in a theater type setting at a show in the future, hopefully it will be better. His album Modern times is amazing. Being a big Dylan fan, I was a bit dissapointed. Hopefully I won't get reemed for this.
Dylan is really hit or miss these days, and he relies on his band a lot to drag out the songs so he doesn't have to sing much. I still go see him every few years just out of principle, but still. The show I saw in 2002 was fantastic, played 20+ songs, right around 2 hours... lately he only plays about 15 and every song gets dragged out for 8 minutes

Cheap Trick. I read rave reviews about their live shows, but was totally bored when I saw them in concert five years ago.
Counting Crows. zzzzzzzzzzzz... left a lot to be desired.
Cracker. Dave Lowrey didn't interact with the crowd. At all. It was like we weren't even there, and the band was rehearsing in a garage.
Direngrey. Don't know what all the hype is about (on certain metal forums). They sucked hard.
Eminem. Went to the Anger Management Tour five years ago and left unimpressed. For someone so "controversial," Eminem's live show seemed rather ho-hum. Ludacris and Xzibit blew Em out of the water in terms of stage presence.
The Black Crowes. <ducks> Talented musicians for sure, but methinks I caught them on an off night.
The Roots. Ditto. Will be seeing them again in a few weeks so they'll have a chance to redeem themselves.
