collective soul has always put on pretty solid shows.. the one fuel concert i went to was pretty sweet.
You guys put on a helluva show RMT. Please post here when you have another show - I will definitely be there!
Thank you sir. We are working on the new Holdouts CD right now. Hopefully it will be out in the fall and we'll be doing a bunch of shows to promote it. I will keep you in the loop.
Rush U2 Pink Floyd (and Roger Waters, solo) I generally don't like DMB, but I've seen them three times at festivals and they've always been amazing live. Better Than Ezra put on a great show as well. And Simon and Garfunkel were incredible a couple years ago.
Well...even if you didn't pick Rush...no band plays longer or more material in concert than Rush. They had to do away with the opening act altogether because it takes from their time on stage. If there is another band that plays longer, then I would like to know who it is out of simple curiousity?
Ween plays for about 4 hours. the last time i saw Rush was at the summit with Primus and they didn't play nearly that long.
In a word: Phish. From Wikipedia: In a 2000 cover story for Entertainment Weekly, three of the four Phish members declared Big Cypress to be the greatest Phish concert ever. It was also voted as the most popular Phish show ever by fans in the final volume of The Pharmer's Almanac. It was also the longest Phish concert ever, culminating in a seven-hour second set from midnight New Year's Eve to sunrise New Year's Day. Phish was the only band at the event, performing five sets of music over two nights.
The guy is inexhaustible! First time I saw him was at Liberty Hall, with a couple of hundred people in the audience and Mr. 714. Easily 3 solid hours+. Made you wonder what his kidneys were made of, because the guy scarcely took a break. (I guess that's what drum solos are for, lol!) Mother Earth, with Tracy Nelson, Powell St. John, and Toad Andrews, played longer, but they had a huge band and could take a breather here and there, taking turns fronting.
Two of the best live show I've seen were- U2-Houston Melissa Etheridge-Austin She rocked the house. Literally looked liked she was in a trance the whole show.
4 hours is a long time. Rush didn't start playing their longer sets until they did away with their opening act. I think the Rush show comes out to just over 3 hours with a 20 minute set break in-between the two sets. You are literally Rush-ed out by the end of the night. Bruce Springsteen does this night in and night out? Or, was this an exception show? Phish was an exception show. I've never heard of Ween.
I don't know if Springsteen still does, not having seen him in years, but he did in every concert I saw.
