Lol brain, I saw gwar once. Everyone in the pit got covered in blue "blood".
My favorite live shows were: Darkest Hour, As I Lay Dying, Kataklysm, Thrice, In Flames. In that order.

I can't believe I'm the first person to give this answer: the hands-down best LIVE band in the whole friggin' universe is the heart stoppin', pants droppin', house rockin', earth shakin', booty quakin', Viagra takin', love makin', air conditioner shakin', heart breakin', history makin', legendary, E STREET BAND.
Nobody else comes close.

I've seen a bunch, and I think the best live show was the Deftones.
No, wait - the best live show was the Blue Man Group. Saw them in NYC and in Jax, and they were amazing. NYC was the better show, smaller and more mind-fucky.
But as far as music I'd listen to, Deftones, 311, Metallica, SOAD, etc. in that order.

Blue Man Group, really? Saw 'em in Baltimore 2 years ago. Meh. One other that made the list that I'm shocked with. Red Hot Chili Peppers. They were horrible when I saw them at the WHFS Festival in Baltimore.
I'm a hair band guy and saw almost every one back in the '80s. I saw someone mention Poison. Funny thing is they ripped off their whole act from a local Balt-DC band Kix. Kix was the best live band ever. I probably saw them 30 times at the legendary Hammerjacks back in the day.
Great shows I've seen. AC/DC, Metallica for Master of Puppets tour, Scorpions, Iron Maiden. I've had fun at some hippie shows like Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. I saw Jimmy Buffet at Margaritaville in Key West when he just showed up and played a set for unsuspecting guests at the bar. The Firm (Jimmy Page, Paul Rodgers) was good and I got the biggest contact buzz of my life.
I've mellowed a bit in my old age and saw Pat Monahan (lead singer of Train) at a small venue in VA and he kicked ***. Great voice and he does an incredible cover of Led Zep's Whole Lotta Love.

Saw him 2 years ago with the Flecktones - going to again 12/13. The man can play.
I saw X, Zappa and Sprigsteen/E-Street all in the same month years ago - that was an amazing stretch.

naarlevin - agreed with arcade fire. i saw them in here in 2004, in a smallish venue, and it was the best show i'd ever been to.
until i saw radiohead. everything about that show was incredible.
