    Who is the better live band isn't even a question. Foo will probably take this based on popularity, but when I saw them live they didn't compare. Plus Dave Grohl annoys the shit out of me.

    I like the Foo Fighters BUT
    How can a band that plays the same set EVERY night (outside of a few covers) even be in the same conversation as Pearl Jam??

    Pearl Jam in the lead, we could easily swing it.

    It's sort of an unreliable survey as you can vote multiple times. Whichever band has the more ravenous fan base is most likely to win.

    I think the Foo Fighters do a great live show. One of the top bands for sure. The only different between PJ and the Foo's is I don't feel the need to see multiple foo's shows. The shows are fantastic and energetic but it's the same set. PJ's Live Shows make me want to catch a few shows when they tour in my neighborhood (you'll seldom not find me going to only Vancouver or Seattle. I usually go to both).

    The live show it self is pretty good so I can see how people would vote for the Foo's. Especially if they've never seen a PJ show are only been to the odd one here and there.

    I still can't believe the Foo's are that low in early voting. They're better than the Peppers for sure :)

    I don't think they'll win. We're all nuts and will vote. We won't let it happen!!!

    Ya foo fighters are getting close. But none of us should allow them to win. We know they dont deserve it over Pearl Jam.

    There are maybe 1-2 bands on the planet that can MAYBE hang with the live pearl jam experience

    and The Foo's are not one of them

    and just to win my favor too is like u2
    they do lots of sweet charity work
    which does not go un-noticed
    i really appreciate hats like this..

    I don't disagree. In my own experience Pearl Jam and Springsteen are in leagues of their own. Foo Fighters are really good, but they haven't cultivated the audience to the point where they can play a lot of random non-single tracks and have the crowd sing along on them just like hits. It's taken Springsteen and PJ years of doing that, and creating at atmosphere of "we might play anything on any given night" that puts them in leagues of their own.

    That being said I think the Foo Fighters are the best live show out there that tours on the same setlist. Foo Fighters still feel like they're peaking or at a peak right now. I saw U2 a few months ago and it was kind of meh and felt a bit tired (I think I should pass on the next U2 tour).

    I tried to remove my objectify from it. I'm obviously super PJ biased. If I was the average fan, a fan of both bands, and only bothered to see the 1 show in my hometown from each band, I would think both bands are pretty comparable. It's not until you see them play a plethora of shows that you really start to see the differences (especially if you decide to see multiple shows on the same tour).

    I would expect a lot of us are PJ and FF fans. Most of us are rock fans so we probably like a lot of rock bands?

  • GardLivingston89GardLivingston89 Posts: 942
    Damn 50.02 to 49.98 feel like foo fighters are about to take the lead.
  • ehbaconehbacon Posts: 1,971

    Below are the setlists for Foo Fighters' recent two night stand at the Molson Amphitheatre. Almost the same exact show both nights. This is one of many reasons why the Foo aren't in Pearl Jam's league as a live act.

    I know right? I already checked those out feel sorry for anyone who went both nights. All of there setlists are the same pretty much. And lets not get started on musical talent in both bands. Everyone in Pearl Jam is very talented and put so much into each concert compared to the Foo Fighters where its pretty much just Dave everyone watches.
