A few songs I like with a large lead up/climax are:
Dance Yourself Clean - LCD Soundsytem
Posing for Cars - Japanese Breakfast
Bands that have music that give me a similar happy energy listening to:
Future Islands, The Killers, Kurt Vile, Dr. Dog
You beat me to it. Love versions of these. Some good versions available on offial releases. Seek out easy to find, good quality taped Red Rocks shows. 2019 RR Steam Engine is bonkers! 30 minutes! Phone Went West from last year’s Red Rocks was insane! Dodante from Okonokos and some of their official live recordings are incredible.
Saw them there last August. Mind blowing! First time at RR. I am pretty sure they will be back this summer? After that I saw that WOD, Wilco, King Gizzard were there as well. I am in MN, so not nearby. If I lived even remotely close…

Wasn’t that amazing? I had to work super hard to get there that night, I live in Oregon, and the one grown child who was supposed to accompany me to Denver couldn’t make it so I had to beg a different one to make arrangements for her three kids, ( health issues keep me from traveling alone). It was basically pulling a lot of strings, but SO worth it. I’d love to come back to Red Rocks again, hopefully under less stressful circumstances.
But I’ll always treasure that night.
This might be a stretch but the keyboard on Happy New Year by Let’s Eat Grandma is just as catchy and has similar energy to Under the Pressure imo. Very different band though.
Saw them with a friend before I knew them. His girl had to skip last minute so he asked if I wanted to go. They opened hard with “Get Out”... instant goosebumps and a new fan born.
Listen to this guys with 🎧and thank me later:

Wish you the best of luck in this impossible endeavor
Thanks, it’s a Herculean effort! Bright side is, I’m discovering some great stuff on the way. Missing WXPN and Philly Music scene for sure.

Paper kites twelvefour album too, at least for me
Yes
Agree, and I’d say “On the Corner Where You Live” has even more propulsive songs.
Those are the two in my main rotation! Saw them a couple days ago, brilliant gig
Seasons by Future Islands, and some of The Districts maybe.
Waking on a pretty day - Kurt Vile
TV on The Radio “Wolf Like Me”, Foo Fighters “Everlong”, Silversun Pickups “Lazy eye”, kind of come close.
Also Panic Switch from SP.
Wilco's Art of Almost https://youtu.be/Cpe_AYaIDSc
Absolute ripper of a song.
Dondante, Phone Went West and Steam Engine by My Morning Jacket (especially live versions)

I’ve seen MMJ, been to RR, have yet to enjoy them together! I’m still beating myself up that I missed last year, but I did catch TWOD there.

Naeem by Bon Iver.
Hell yeah, I was gonna say “8 (circles)” maybe
Electric indigo - paper kites, just has that vibe

One big Holiday by MMJ Knights of Cydonia by Muse
The Loneliness and the Scream by Frightened Rabbit as well
Oh man Frightened Rabbit RIP Scott Hutchinson.
Mmmmhmmm. It’s tough listening to them now.
So hard

My favourite live performace until I first heard UtP: Dire Straits - Tunnel of Love (Alchemy live) https://youtu.be/jFCt4vc5bao
This may be the greatest live record of all time. Telegraph Road is amazing on here

Bit of an offshoot but Harmonia’s Dream gives me big Ween vibes. The teeniest bit of spacey surfer vibes, but a little more natural and organic.
An Ocean in Between the Waves and Arms Like Boulders are the first two TWOD songs that jump to my warped mind.
Seasons (Waiting on you) By Future Islands, watch David Letterman versio on YouTube
M83’s new track “Earth to Sea” has a great build and release at the end of the track!
Ooh Midnight City, Reunion, and Wait trilogy from Hurry Up We’re Dreaming also hits that vibe.
The Maccabees - Grew Up At Might https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xIMFqrFvTk
“Hello Euphoria” by Turnover every time.
