There you go, L.R.R., right again. These kids never stood 10 feet from Jimi or 6 feet in front of Ginger Baker or in the front row at the Garrick Theater for one of the Mother's matinees. Or anywhere at a Led Zep concert. Cause if they did, they wouldn't be voting for these woosie bands. (And BTW, the Doors sucked big time in concert, and so did the Beatles, Big Brother, and lots of the other 60s bands.)
The Stones kick ass in concert, although the last time I saw them live was in 1972, with BB King warming up.
Top 15 live rock shows (in this order, the original bands): Mothers, Zep, Stones, Jimi, Little Feat, Floyd, ZZ, Genesis, Arthur Brown, Cream, Velvet Underground, Van Halen, Canned Heat, Santana.
But the truth is this: the best band of all time is the one that's playing right now. |
