is this the greatest live band of all time?

I've seen lots and lots of top notch musical acts over the years, from Tony Bennett to Led Zeppelin to Miles Davis to David Bowie to Jimi Hendrix to Dave Brubeck to Bob Marley to the Vienna Philharmonic.  The greatest I've ever seen?  A tie between Herbert von Karajan leading the Berlin Philharmonic and Bruce Springsteen leading the E Street Band.

1995 Wynton Marsalis septet

So many great bands, hard to pick best the concert, but undoubtedly the best (non) entrance was Pink Floyd. Saw them at the Cleveland Municipal Stadium, late 70’s I think. Had four banks of speakers, the main stage and the three other points. The intro music stopped and, softly at first, the sound of a jet airplane began moving circularly from speaker bank to speaker bank, getting progressively louder. Suddenly the sound stopped for a couple of seconds only to suddenly start again super loud at the main bank of speakers, simultaneously their own full size jet, complete with the pig painted on the tail section, flew extremely low over the stadium from the direction of the stage toward the opposite end. Of course, nobody (ok, few) saw them come onstage and immediately start playing that day, as was their rep at the time.

The “World Series of Rock” shows there were also amazing, Trickster, ELO, Foreigner, and Journey on July 15th, 1978, all in one event, was right up there with the best I’ve seen.
