That's not really the point is it?
I saw Dire Straits at Woburn and was really disappointed - I could have been sat listening to an album in my lounge. I like some edge to my live music experience.
That's why Muse are so fantastic - forget all the snazzy sets and amazing lights and lasers they use - they make their music edgy and epic and totally in the moment.
I agree about Arcade Fire as mentioned above though - their shows are almost spiritual to be at. Honourable mention should also go to Elbow of modern acts - couldn't be more different to Muse and Arcade Fire but Guy Garvey is superb - the natural hier to the John Peel role of being the bloke you'd most like to go down the pub with!

I once saw Neil Innes roundly booed by a group of feminists at a show he performed at a NALGO conference in Blackpool. It didn't help that he had called them a bunch of inflatable women.

I was trying to say the quality of their live performances were very good
ive seen loads of bands now including the stereophonics, oasis, ocean colour scene, manic street preachers, sex pistols, stiff little fingers, arctic monkeys, chillis, the enemy to name but a few, however, the best band ive ever seen were the foo fighters, hands down. the gig was absolutely amazing, starting with death cab for cutie, then the awesome biffy clyro, only to finsish with an outstanding set from the foos, who invited roger taylor and alice cooper to play in the encore. i paid fifty quid for a ticket to that, and would pay twice that again to see the exact same show.
Been to a few of their gigs. Always enjoyed them, even if they did play a little too fast for dancing.

I was on a Xmas TV show with the Bootleg Beatles in 1980 and the Barron Knights
Black Sabbath at Ozzfest (Ozzie, Iommi, Ward & Butler)
Tool touring the Lateralus Album (think it was at the Astoria)
Fear Factory touring Obsolete (definitely the Astoria, got a mention in the Kerrang live reviews)
earthtone9 at the Concorde 2. Had to do an extended set as the main support (Guano Apes(!?)) didn't turn up.
