Greatest Concert Bands

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

Which band would be known as the best all time concert band? I guess that is a tough one, unless you been to a lot of concerts and you have a clear winner. Is a band like Pink Floyd or Lynyrd Skynryd the best concert bands of all time? Which one of these two bands would you have most like to seen in concert 40 years ago? 30 years ago? 20 years ago? or today?

Fans like going to concerts where they can sing a long to a lot of the songs. A band who has a lot of songs in which most people know the lyrics to, will be the bands who rank the highest on the best concert bands of all time. I know Pink Floyd would have a few songs most people could identify with. The song list would be very long for Lynyrd Skynyrd and a lot of people would know Free Bird, Gimme 3 Steps, Sweet Home Alabama, and Simple Man to just name a few of the songs by them. I believe a lot in the crowd could sing-a-long to a Skynyrd Concert, so they would have to rank high amongst the top bands in the world to go and watch a concert from.

Guns N’ Roses and Metallica had a concert together one time. This is probably the biggest two names who have ever came together as one for a concert before. I can’t remember any conert bigger than the one GNR and Metallica did about 18 years ago. I saw them over in South Carolina, where the University of South Carolina Gamecocks play their home football games. It was a wild night with Faith No More as the opening act and then was followed up by Metallica. I think most of us got tired and reached our maximum levels by the time Metallica was done playing, we didn’t have a lot left for the greatest band ever; which was Guns N Roses. Both Metallica and GunsNroses have songs you can sing a long with and most people know several songs by each band.

Which band or bands do you think could make a powerful combination in concert together? If Pink Floyd and Lynyrd Skynyrd announced a 2011 Concert Tour together, would you make sure you were there to watch them? If you had free tickets to the event, but it was a few states away from your hometown state, would that be a problem for you?
