Thingy from Maximo Park, Paul Thingy. Their live version of My Velocity remains one of the highlights of any live gig what I ever went.

Noel Redding could have been performing bollock-naked with his hair on fire and no-one would have noticed. |

I'll say Rod Stewart, and before anyone says anything I'm not thinking of the crooning slush he went on to perform.
Get on youtube and type in The Faces BBC, you'll see footage from 1971. Pure gold. |

Managed to see Audioslave live a couple of years ago. Chris Cornell was epic.
Glen Hansard in his Frames days was outstanding before he became a bit of a tart. Billie Joe Armstrong, Bono and Dave Grohl would be the others that stand out from what I've seen live. Brandon Flowers was carp. Never saw Queen but Mercury would have to go down as one of the best frontmen, if not the best. |

By:
Here are the clues, he looked like a demented old fagan type tramp on stage with long matted hair playing flute stood on one leg, an amazing musician who had the audiance in the palm of his hand and was " Thick as a Brick ".....

From the 60's Jagger, only one to come close after that era, Mercury.

Mark E Smith in control in 1983. You don't see things like that on mainstream tv now. Still doing it now, saw them a few years ago, felt like they had levitated the building. |
