You instantly had my respect when you mentioned Pearl Jam first on your list of 4 man bands that rock.

To the Beastie Boy nation I retract my classification of them as a 3 man band. To quote the great Michael Scott, “I knew that was wrong the moment it left my mouth (fingers).”

Also since everyone else is doing it I figure I might as well put down my list of concerts.

Pearl Jam
Muse
Incubus
Rage Against the Machine
311
Beastie Boys
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Primus
Powerman 5000
Maroon 5
Live
Veruca Salt
U2
Collective Soul
Big Head Todd and the Monsters
Queensryche
Type O Negative (Rob Morris from BYU was there)
Carlos Santana
BTO
Bonham
Spin Doctors
Counting Crows
Deftones
Neil Young
Korn
Papa Roach
Tool
Weezer
Tori Amos

I’m sure there are more, plus a myriad of local bands. Hey what can I say, I love me some live music.

The McKay center sucks and that happens to be where I saw Counting Crows.<br/><br/>Speaking of venues, if you ever get a chance to see someone play at the Depot in SLC make sure to go. That place is amazing. @ Russ

I have to agree with you that the venue has a lot to do with it. The McKay center sucks and that happens to be where I saw Counting Crows.

I liked the show. I think the venue has a lot to do with it because I saw the Fray at the McKay Events Center, and it was very, very disappointing. I think I've actually seen Powerman 5000 before too. It's easy to forget.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, you have quite the array of shows you've been to with Toad and Type O on the same list. @ Tim

Beastie Boys — Four-man gig. Why you gotta disrespect Mixmaster Mike and DJ Hurricane like that? “We’re just 3 MCs and one DJ, and we be getting down with no delay …” You’re better than that, Tim. :)

A Perfect Circle — Good band with a couple of good songs, but I don’t know if they ever crossed over into greatness.

Silverchair — Any band that evolves to this http://youtube.com/watch?v=79DrGah0GuY
loses all privileges, regardless of how hard they rocked back in the day. I had to watch the video twice to believe it.

The rest of your list is absolutely bona fide, but the list of four (or more)-man bands bands is just way too strong: Pearl Jam, Led Zeppelin, Black Crows, Soundgarden, Metallica, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Collective Soul (that was for you, Trent) and Black Sabbath are the first ones that come to mind.

I’m going to do a little more research on this 3vs4 thing. Good post, Blake!
