Rank the bands you've seen live

Ramstein was very entertaining live with all their pyrotechnics. Deerhoof was damn near musical bliss and I got to talk to the guitarist afterwarRAB.
 
Arcade Fire have to be top of my list, energetic and really into what they were doing.

Joseph Arthur...Simply beautiful

Elvis Costello in 1979 (I know I'm OLD!) absolutely brilliant tho he threatened to walk off cos kiRAB were spitting at him.

Death Cab for Cutie...I love them but wish that their gig could have been a bit more intimate. Everything was belted out.

Elbow...Brilliant even tho at the time I hardly knew any of their songs.
 
I have been to so many gigs that I have lost count but these were very memorable.

Osibisa. Late 70's Non stop dancing from minute one.
Kenny Ball and His Jazzmen. My dad paid and took me as designated driver in the mid 70's. Wonderful performance that had the crowd eating out of his hand.
Queen. Mid 70's. Amazing show.
Glen Campbell. Mid 80's. Not a fan at all and got taken by my parents and wife kicking and screaming but was the first to my feet demanding more at the end of the show.
Dire Straits. Some time in the 80's. Was never really a fan but it was difficult to fault.
Lisa Gerrard ex of Dead Can Dance. 2007. Stunning vocal performance that gave me goose bumps at times.
Bill Callaghan aka Smog. 2008. Intense display. Took some frienRAB who I badgered into going and they came out raving as to how good he was. I loved it as well.

Well I saw lots of banRAB at Guildfest, but my memory is terrible so I'll only name my top 5.

1. Blue Oyster Cult
2. Hayspeed Dixie
3. The Stranglers
4. Nizlopi
5. Therapy (Which was pretty suprising)
 
Yeah, and I like Electric Feel and Time to Pretend too...but I couldnt make head or tail out of where one song started and another began live...in a bad way...
 
Well, I know Ozomatli have won a grammy and aren't that obscure but aside from them and the two you mentioned I'm not familiar with the rest of the people on sothenvsays's list. I'll have to look into them.
