Post up who you think is worth the price of admission LIVE. I mean clean, solid, tight. Not all shitty, and nothing like thier albums like many bands are.
My vote prolly has to go to these guys..

Been to 3 summer concerts with them, and everytime it just rules. They sound amazing live. Great time at these shows, lots of beer, and fun. Jimmy Buffet, without all the queer songs, lol.

I could die happy if I had a chance to eat a bag of shrooms, and sit in the audience in a lawn chair, and just watch the show....THIS would be #1.

The strangest and yet most well known song of theirs.

Their recordings pale in comparison to their live show though, which is why I picked them.

not a big fan but marlyn manson does amazing live shows and so does tool.
The drummer is a speical effect creator and did the Terminator 2 graphic for t1000. At their shows they have all this lighting effects and lazers. its more like the theatre than a gig.
as for my best ever gig either ignite at underworld (camden) or send more paramedics islington acdy.

Saw Manson and Tool and I must say Tool were far better.
Send More Paramedics are good for a laugh aswell.

his anti christ tour was by far the best, then he went and turned into an alien. hahah
Yeah Send more were funny as fk.
i know their a kiddy type band but avenged sevenfold were brilliant live. they had this moving back drop and these rised floor levels.
i see prefer small smelly gigs with to much sweat and little room to hold your beer.

Yeah I like to see big bands perform large venues for a good show. But nothing beats the intamacy of seeing a top quality band play in a run-down shack.

True. I saw the Dead Milkmen once, in a puny little club, it was fun.

Pearl Jam would be pretty cool
Jimi hendrix is amazing but good luck getting in on one of those. Gotta see the rock god when you get to heaven.
So, you're asking for bands who sound nothing like on their albums live but do so in a great quality? I'm gonna go with Pearl Jam and Rammstein (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpJ4Fecjops) in that case because if you listen to the Album, you don't get peed on. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASXXv3dfqpY)
Pearl Jam would be pretty cool
+1, especially some of their acoustic/unplugged-gigs.
edit: can't find the one for which rammstein got sued. too bad.
