Best show I ever saw was Built To Spill this year...unreal
THE LEGENDARY ROOTS CREW
I've never been to a roots show that wasn't amazing....
Three of my favorite live bands are having reunion tours this summer:
Genesis
The Police
Van Halen (with DLR)
Don't let the Phil Collins solo BS (the later stuff - his first two solo albums were awesome, IMHO) put you aff - these guys know how to put on a BIG show. Coolest lightshow I've ever seen was the tour for the "Genesis" album (Mama, Home by the Sea) and they actually managed to make it look like it was raining on stage. Big sound and they jam (very extended flights of fancy - don't merely try to sound like the album version.) Chester thompson is their Tour drummer and when he and Phil get into it together it's fucking thunder.
The Police are just ... incredible. Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers never got the widespread recognition they deserved, IMHO, but are virtuosos at their instruments. Sting is a much better bass player than you might think, and that voice is even more expressive live than on disc.
Van Halen is back. As long as Eddie doesn't have a heart attack on stage it's guaranfuckingteed to be awesome.
Other Artists that I love live:
Peter Gabriel
Big Head Todd & the Monsters
Violent Femmes
The Samples
Southern Culture on the Skids
Chuck Brown & the Soul Searchers
Donna the Buffalo
P-Funk Allstars
The Chieftains
Seldom Scene
Primus
Rage against the Machine
Neil Young
Pearl Jam
Blues Traveler
...and on...and on....

Tea Leaf Green is an up and comer that puts on an amazing live show. As does the John Butler Trio.
Tea Party...
Guitar work will blow your mind.
Other than that, any decent punk band will get things going energy-wise. Dropkick Murphys/Flogging Molly are both awesome as far as energy goes.

I think reggae is also great live, especially roots reggae. Some reggae acts that I have seen over the last year that have been stellar:
Toots and Maytals
Isreal Vibrations
Lee Perry
Jr. Gong
Eek-a-mouse
Buju Banton
Pato Banton
I think reggae is so good live just because it is super easy to dance to, always positive and irie....
Not necessarily even close to my "favorite" bands, but hands down the best shows I've ever seen:
Bloodhound Gang
Beck
Type O Negative
In that order.
Combine the hip-hop, reggae, and rock....
STS9, best modern JAM band.....INCREDIBLE live shows....you NEED to see them if you haven't....
Yes, I am a Sector 9 head, and proud of it....
Flaming Lips
Les Claypool/Primus
The White Stripes
The Roots
YMSB
Keller Williams
Larry Keel and Natural Bridge
Burning Spear (in his 80's and still brings it)
Rev Horton Heat (just missed him in Pittsbugh last week) :(
oh yeah, and Clutch..... :)
[QUOTE=ScottG;348072]If you miss wandering around following phish or the dead, you can check out this band.

Their fans call themselves "the Herd"
I have only seen them once, but good music, mellow crowd and good clean fun.
I would see them again.
Wouldn't mind seeing them open for Ratdog in DC.
...My buddy is the drummer...going to the show in a week to drink many beers
Glad to see 311 getting a little love. They sound perfect everytime I have seen them (probably 7 or 8) Their 311 day concert every other year is sick. About 6 to 7 hours straight.
I don't have too much else to say here but in a few months I will get to see a few more potentially good shows. Mastodon and Kings of Leon
Red Hot Chili Peppers are amazing live.
Flaming lips are good too, saw them with RHCP a few years ago.
Edit: RHCP Live video, Can't Stop plus a little jam. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWEWl9N8JQw
man man at neumos Saturday was pretty fucking good.
WEEN!!!!
Fishbone
Project Object
Prince
On a mellower note,
Leo Kottke
John Scofield
Benny Golson
Tool and Mew. :)
GWAR (on halloween!)
Slayer -they are always good but when they play with other good metal bands it's f-ing epic
Bad Religion- old shows were better though I can't believe they opened for blink-182:mad: :mad: :FIREdevil BLASPHEMY!!!!!!)
Nofx- nuff said
Slipknot- Fucking blown away, I didn't really like these guys until I saw them at "the tattoo the earth" tour in like 2000
RATM, god I miss that band
SEPULTURA is worth twice the price
These are my favorites. I'm not just into metal, but for live shit it's the only stuff that gets my rocks off:the_finge :the_finge :the_finge
Oh yeah, and 'les claypool's flying frog brigade'- saw them at dobson arena in vail and had an awesom time!
