These are all bands that I have been fortunate enough to see live in concert. I have some all time favorites that would surely be on this list if I had ever been lucky enough to attend one of their shows (Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Radiohead to name a few). I hope you enjoy the list and encourage you to post your own. Without further ado...

I can't rank them, or even keep it at 10, but the best shows I've been to would include: The Tragically Hip Dr. Dog Cloud Cult Pearl Jam Wolf Parade Sunset Rubdown Sigur Ros Arcade Fire Jeff Tweedy/Wilco (cant decide between the whole band or Jeff solo) Bon Iver Deer Tick

I've seen hundreds of live shows. I'm sure a lot of you have too. But I am usually very critical of live shows, and these are the ones that stand out to me as being great.

I don't understand how Ozzy gets mentioned twice in this thread. I've seen him before and while it was funny for a while, I couldn't call it a great gig. Let alone one of the greatest live acts out there.

I saw Ozzy in his early solo days and the shows were phenominal. He could actually speak and sing then, and wasn't a caricature of himself yet.
Same goes for The Who. The show I saw them do in 81 or so was amazing and by far the best show I've seen. The Tommy reunion tour sucked.

the one time i saw him he sucked pretty bad. would kill to see Black Sabbath in their prime though.
My dad still rates Black Sabbath as one of the best gigs he's ever seen. 1973 I think. Along with AC/DC's first tour in Europe when they were quite unknown just before Let there be rock was released.
