What are some bands that sound much better LIVE?

And inversely, what bands suck live?

the grateful dead almost always sounded better live than on their studio albums.

i saw led zeppelin in 1975, the sound sucked and they only played 9 pr 10 songs. they may have been having an off night, but i was very disappointed.

    I’ll have to go with The Ramones. They were always louder, faster, and heavier live.

    Phish and Umphrey’s McGee are amazing live (basically any jam band).

    Apparently, Hoobastank is awful live.

    Four Year Strong and Set Your Goals sound amazing live. New Found Glory is pretty sick live too.

    i’m not saying Aerosmith isn’t good in the studio, but they are an amazing live band.

    and GNR sucks live. They’re strictly a studio band.

    I wouldn’t say suck but close …… Bob Dylan, Moody Blues

    I heard what I just said several times by others.

    One to note: have not heard this one: but by people that attended the same concert that I did in about 72 …. The Stones were not as good as studio recordings. Not heard complaints other than that.
