Who has been the greatest live act ever?

The Stones, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Queen, Pink Floyd, Bowie, Nirvana or someone else?

This Day in Music have just started a poll to find out. If you fancy voting for who you think should win go to http://www.thisdayinmusic.com

You can vote for any act, just go to 'other' on the list.

Yeah they're pretty good, God.

From what I've seen, I'd say:
Radiohead - definitely best live band I have ever seen
Flaming Lips - really awesome experience, but I have a feeling it'd get old after a while
Decemberists - different every time you see them

I'm sure more of the "classic rock" type acts are amazing, but I haven't seen too many. Also, I'd put Death Cab up there since they sound great live, but it's pretty much the same thing each time you go.

First of all I just wanted to day that I look forward to the day when I finally get to see the Decemberists live. I have only heard great things and I only one day they come close enough to me on a day I can go see them!

But for the concerts I have seen...
Ben Folds- Wow, he can just interact with the audience and it's so obvious that he is having a great time so the audience has a great time as well.
Tegan and Sara- They are great story tellers and are so relaxed on stage, plus they rock.
Also I would have to stay Death Cab for Cutie- the third time I saw them was so amazing, I was just blown away by them even though I had seen them twice before.
