Default Most Influential Live Band
Who's the most influential live rock band? Personally, I think the Who kinda made the show interesting first. Before that, live music wasn't quite as entertaining. Yeah, you had Chuck Berry and the like, but really the Who gave rock the rock image in a live context. At least in my opinion. What about you?

The Stooges, I believe, primarily Iggy Pop, and the Doors, ditto Jim Morrison

if not for them, we really wouldn't have outrageous behaviour on stage

The Who probably. They're one of the first to make rock n' roll a truly destructive art form.

I agree with everyone concerning The Who and The Doors. I believe The Who were like Sun Ra stated, maybe one of the first bands to ever resonate Punk on stage.

Mick Jagger is one of the most influential frontmen of rock, so I'll go with The Rolling Stones as well.

A lot of people will get confused if you just refer to me as 'Sun Ra'.

Pretty much go with all the bands and front men mentioned so far but of course one of the most obvious focal points will always be Led Zeppelin.

Without doubt the 1970s was the era of the live album and nearly every great live band worth its weight put out at least one great live album, I`ll probably make a must listen to list later for essential stuff from the period.

Its popular opinion that 1975s Kiss-Alive! Is considered their breakthrough, as well as a landmark for live albums.

I'll mention Little Feat-Waiting On Columbus as well.
