is this the greatest live band of all time?

tomreep -- Thanks for bringing up that Lou Reed Sweet Jane cut.  Truly one of finest rock numbers ever committed to vinyl.  It also blew my mind that an avant-garde/art house guy like Reed would next be heard heading up such an effective, powerful, straight-ahead rock band.

Supertramp in the 70's/ 80'shad the best sounding show I've ever heard. Great concert but, the Boss puts on the best performance.

Hi,
your mood in the night, but i can include, The Clash, King Crimson, Rush, Nick Cave, Laurie Anderson...

For me bands were different in different years saw Zeppelin 5 times 73 was the best saw the stones 6 times 72 was the best from Texas so I saw Top well over 20 tomes but 76 was unreal. And anyone at the 1978 Texas Jam?
Led Zeppelin 1973
ZZ Top 1976
Stones 1972
John Mellencamp 1985
Texxas Jam 1978

What a "loaded" question!
So subjective. Best recorded live show - Allman Brothers @ Fillmore East.

At the show: Grateful Dead when touring with that insane equipment known as the Wall of Sound. Look it up, mostly McIntosh amps.
Sting at The Bottom Line w/original Dreams of the Blue Turtles band.
Steely Dan at Red Rocks

Floyd was excellent, but stuck to the script, same goes for the Stones.

Too many more to list.
