Best Live Bands Right Now

Totally agree on Goose. They are fantastic. Phish has been amazing these past few years. So tight. Was at the 12/29/18 show at MSG and set 2 was breathtaking. Trey Band is phenomenal. His College Street show last year was awesome!

I agree. I was at the 12/29/18 show and the Tab College st. Seeing Tab again in may, and seeing pigeons with Goose at the Cap in April i think. 2 nights. Between 18 and 19 plus Mexico, ive seen 41 Phish shows...saw 4 Ghost of the Forest, 2 Trey solos at Carnegie, MGB, and a ton more... Im gd broke now... lol

Yep. Bridge St. Live....right on the Farmington River.

It was Dec. 2017. The Reverand's annual Holiday Sleighride Tour.

Rachael is a fricking queen.

Yes she is, but the weakness of the band is exposed when they play on a larger stage imo. They were one of the headliners at Rhythm and Roots a few years ago and I was so psyched to see them because I had been a fan for a few years already by then but had yet to see them live. I loved the videos I had watched, all of which were from tiny venues (or street corners). A then relatively unknown band, Dustbowl Revival, preceded them on the same stage at R&R and it was unanimous among our krewe and all the people with whom we spoke that Dustbowl Revival put on a better show on that stage. I've since seen Dustbowl Revival at Cafe Nine and they were also great in that tiny room.

Rachel is a great talent, but I think she deserves a better band.

Have enjoyed seeing Tedeschi Trucks Band the last few summers. Before that used to love to see Dave Matthews Band and as always Phish. Does anyone have any recommendations for good touring acts at the current moment?

A CT based band that has recently been surging on the festival scene incl. opening for Dead & Co. in Mexico is called Goose. Highly recommend.

Here's a recent live show:

goose is crushing it right now.
 
The Word is dropping a new album in early May. Their 2007 show at the Webster in Harford was legendary (1 of only 4 shows in that tour). A few years later I was lucky enough to win an auction on Jam Cruise for a signed poster from the show for $75. Best value memorabilia purchase ever. Hopefully they will tour in support and not forget their fans in CT

Correct. Kras stopped touring with them years ago, but he’ll sit in from time to time, he’s still real close with those guys. Lettuce is my favorite live band going right now, they’re on fire.

The dusters are awesome too, my favorite blue grass group going. Anyone looking to get into a blue grass band that aren’t huge blue grass fans, they’re a good place to start.

Marcus king band, the fritz, caamp, sunsquabi, and dumpstaphunk are some other bands I’ve seen lately and liking these days.

Love me some Lettuce. Recently saw them with the Delvon Lamar Organ Trio absolutely slaying it as the opening act.

Supposed to be seeing Snarky Puppy in Barcelona in a couple weeks if the whole world isn’t sick by then.
 
My wife is a concert junkie. Grew up with a dad in the record business and so went to every show for free, usually with backstage passes. So we go to a lot of big venue shows.

For this list, thinking about small venue acts, I’d include:
  • Cheap Trick. Always good live.
  • Gary Clark Jr. saw him once. Impressed.
  • Pat Benetar and Neil Girardo
  • Chris Isaak
 
The Oh Sees. They are one of the best bands playing now
 
Lettuce and Big Sam have been mailing in the same boring shows for 10 years.
Snarky Puppy brings it. Grateful Shread is lighting it up now. They don't leave New Orleans often but check out Iceman Special if they're anywhere

I was there!
Only after I bought tickets I read what The Word was. Luckily, no vocals!

Pearl Jam tour postponed.. damn

Already told my friend to let me know when they reschedule.

1) I now have a $300 Southwest credit (but will probably be used for a trip to MN for my nephew's graduation).
2) I was really looking forward to the show.

On the other hand, I will have more time to absorb Gigaton.
