Many bands are often discovered once they are defunct and/or past their prime. Some bands, however, are known as much, if not more, for their live shows than their music. KISS, Phish, and the Grateful Dead come to mind immediately. While they each have produced some great music, they are as known for their concerts as they are for the music they produce in the studio.
With the passing of Jerry Garcia in 1995, the Grateful Dead are no more, Phish have likely broken up for good, and KISS, while I am a fan, are little more than their own tribute band at this point.
Do you think that, as time goes on, some bands who are popular now will lose some popularity as they can't be experienced live, or do you think their popularity will be unaffected by this?
