Took me a long time to refine the criteria for this list.
I finally settled on "cumulative joy, with expectation for more".
No order and no annotations for now. But just ten.
AC/DC
Yes
Rush
The Who
John Hiatt
Lyle Lovett
Steve Ray Vaughan
Elton John
Ella Fitzgerald
Barenaked Ladies

Probably my favorite live act that I have seen would be Tool. Not only was the performance entertaining/interesting/wierd but they sounded unbelievable live, unlike alot of live performances I have seen and the special effects used were quite nice as well.

I have seen Tool in concert once before and I must say that I agree.

I'll need to revise my list if it pertains to acts I have actually seen in person. Luckily some will stay in there and in a very similar order.

I don't think that was the intent of the original thread; if so, I'd have to revise somewhat too. I thought there was a separate thread some time ago about favorite live performances.

I have only seen a handful of live shows, admittedly as much as I like different genres of music I haven't been to many live shows. I did go to the Vancouver Symphony over the weekend for the first time, and that was super cool.
Anyway, shows that I have actually seen, in order of best show:
Metallica x 5 (Including once in London, they happened to be there when I was there, super cool)
Megadeth x 1
Godsmack x 4
Nickelback x 1
I'm also going to Motley Crue next week, free tickets!! lol
On the list: Tool, Offspring, Green Day, Rush, Disturbed. Admittedly I have missed them all a few times.. I don't really know what I was thinking, especially Tool.
Does anyone have the Rush R30 Blue-Ray? Is it any good?

I think Mel(onn) has R30 in BR. I've got the DVD, but the BR is supposed to be much better as well as having the entire concert on it.

Yeah, what Adrian said. I knew somebody had posted a glowing review that made me think I needed to get the BD even though I already own and enjoy the DVD.

I had it in my hand the other day, and put it back because I was not sure. I'll keep an eye out for it again.
