Best Current Live Act

Having seen Michael Franti & Spearhead twice recently - I'd say they are the best live act doing the rounds at the moment. Don't believe me, then download recent concerts (legally & free) on www.archive.org.

Who else (barring the 3121 Las Vegas gigs) is kicking it on tour right now?

Keeping in mind my biases, I'd have to say Prince has been the best live act for about 20 years running.

Nice choices all.

McCoy Tyner's new trio puts on a nice show.

So does the recently-maligned Sting.

So does the never-maligned Maze feat. Frankie Beverly.

Currently, as in touring right at this moment? not sure...

My favorites for putting on consistently good live shows:

Prince

Santana

Pat Metheny Group

McCoy was the pianist in The John Coltrane Quartet (for my money, the best band to ever grace any stage). He still plays jazz.
