THIS is the best band ever watch :  http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ryxfVB_MIfA&feature=related

 i no it 9 mins long but its worth it

i go by the saying that a band has to be good in the studio to be gd live
but thats just me

THEY SOUND BETTER LIVE THAN ON CD

I was going to come into this thread and claim Muse beats whatever you said... but you said Muse

Stockholm Syndrome is one of my least favourite songs though.... Sunburn FTW!

I dunno, I've seen so many great bands live :P I'd have to say Sevendust or Rise against take the show for me ^_^

Man they are so good live >< Muse is pretty damn good too :P 

My two favorite live bands are:

-The Hives
-The Tragically Hip

Saw them at Wembley in the summer and they were very good.

Supergrass and Radiohead are also excellent live.

I was in Stockholm last 4th of december for the Distant Worlds concert of Uematsu-san and Square Enix
it was great!
there was a famous swedisch choir and the famous philharmonic orchestra of stockholm played the songs

the climax was One Winged Angel.. :)

Muse are good but i find that im hardly ever in the mood for their songs. I prefer more uplifting tunes.

Like by the Cat Empire!!!

Nine Inch Nails destroyed Muse's live performance when I saw them (Reading 06 for Muse, Reading 07 for NIN).

Muse were a huge let-down for me, but that was more the fact they played so much off Absolution and BHAR, leaving OoS and Showbiz to rot. Ever since they got the 4th guy to help with the live show it's never felt the same.
