    So many to post, but I think it may offend some of your gentler musical sensibilities! 😆

    Hah, love stuff like this. Don’t bands always have a tonne of magic about them when they’re fresh and young? I can’t bear Fleetwood Mac’s middle aged tour videos… they just stare sullenly into space and sing for coins. But early days Lyndsey’s talent, Mick’s presence, Stevie’s draw, and the other two, it’s just awesome.

    Great Fugazi clip above, and I’ve not heard that Thin Lizzy track before. Didn’t think of them as a band that played stuff that heavy!

    Speaking of fresh faced, and a bit off topic, I don’t think these boys are even shaving yet:

    Aaaw moose, you must be so radcore! Just because most vids aren’t vile doesn’t mean folk don’t like vile… it’s just I doubt the latest Pig Destroyer live show would count among the ‘Great’ rock performances! 🙂

    Nah, dude. I just like newer stuff. To be fair there aren’t many modern rock bands that cut the mustard live. Fair few metal, but not many rock. Last decent gig I went to was the Foos.

    To all the posters linking to Queen – bear in mind that Freddie based his stage performance on Hitler or Mussolini. Think of that and try to watch him now….

    Congratulations! You’ve just won a years supply of Andrex, to wipe away the bullshit from your mouth! 😛

    hah slackaline I know, I don’t think Mercury ‘based his stage performance’ on anyone, though I’m sure plenty people enjoy comparing his moves to other people!

    this thread wouldn’t be right without some Maiden. This time, some recent stuff, as the old stuff was spoken about a lot in the recent Maiden thread:

    Slade: they brought the house down. Nod ordered clearing of chairs to make a dance floor, we danced, sang, stomped, clapped and laughed to cue. Nod sang, his Telecaster growled, Jim’s Bass shook the place, Don chewed gum and hammered the kit, Dave errrrrr, Dave pranced around and played guitar now and then. I’m not sure if I should blame Slade or high revving engines for my tinnitus.

    I’m going to drop this one in here. I grew up with this band, then to have them No1 on the day my son was born, well it made an amazing day that bit more special.

    Not to everyones taste, but one of the most intense bands live.

    You can’t have thread like this without one of the greatest frontmen of all time…

    You mean one of the biggest c***s of all time Kryton?

    Kryton57

    Depending on your knowledge and opinion maybe. Plenty of others acknowledge him as a complete and utter genius with associated personality disorders.

    I didn’t post it to ram an opinion in, just because they were, and performed same of the greatest rock performances of all time, like it or not.

    Kryton, agreed. He is a massive douche, but amazing frontman. Like I said, not many with that kind of presence today.

    I certainly wouldn’t call him a genius, by any stretch of the imagination. However, he, like the rest of the band, was talented, and as a collective they were a force to be reckoned with at the time.

    Personally, I think he was too erratic to be labelled as one of the best frontmen ever. Maybe I saw them too late (at Wembley Stadium, supported by Faith No More and Soundgarden, on the Use Your Illusion tour).

    Talking of erratic frontmen:

    A personal favourite, but also flawed.

    At a risk of offending a lot of people, who else could have added such presence and justice to this without actually being Freddie? IMHO. Forget the person, close your eyes and turn it up…

    Edukator – you are right, Slade are the best live band I have seen.
    Truly excellent.
    Dio – I rated him as a great singer, but he was rubbish live when I saw him with his own band.
    Dr. Feelgood, early 80’s, a great band then, even without Wilko.

    Dio was an incredible front man. I massively regret not going to see him on his last tour as I dismissed him as being too old and on a money grab.

    None of them ever achieved anything subsequently that came close to the Cream, even though they hated each other.

    Me and four school mates got there at 8 in the morning but we were still about 50 yards from the stage. Great high point of our early teenage years. After then it all got too spendy with ‘festivals’.

    Kryton you’ll be glad to hear that Slash and Axle have made up….. And there is rumour of a reforming of the original Gnr.

    This was apparently the day Cream broke up. The BBC supposedly had a fit as it was completely unannounced. Lulu is the presenter if I remember.

    No one comes close to Hendrix as a performer

    ‘S been going on for 20 years that rumour. It’d be nice to se a reconciliation before one of them cops it, and a reformation concert / tour could make them all millions. But I’m not sure any of them need to, so other than “doing it for the fans” which isn’t at the top of Axl’s method of thinking I doubt it’ll ever happen.

    Never been a fan of GnR; far too much hype in my opinion. The only song of theirs which i think has any real merit is ‘civil war’. That said, I’m more of a Prog fan these days.

    This is much more my thing:

    Soooo many to choose

    Zep – Dazed and Confused live at Madison Square Garden (30 mins of ripping the air asunder like none before or since)

    Santana – Soul Sacrifice live at Woodstock

    Sabbath – War Pigs live in Paris 1971

    Beastie Boys, Sabotage live at Woodstock 1999

    But here’s The Makeup – Live In The Rhythm Hive. Video quality is terrible but the performance is enormous. Wish they’d stuck around 🙁

    77 was a good year for punk, Blondie at Barb’s was a blast. Then the audiences started gobbing. 🙁

    One from Noddy Holder:

    “All the girls wearing black knickers say yeah” – laughing, giggling and a few shouts of yeah
    “All the girls wearing white knickers say yeah” – more laughing and more shouts of yeah
    “All the girls wearing no knickers at all say yeah” – general hysteria and shouting of yeah as they launched into the next song.
