I've seen a bunch of bands live myself and all have delivered without one disappointment. Coldplay, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Kenny Wayne Sheppard, AC/DC, Van Halen, The Rubinoos, and The Makaha Sons

I'd have to say my favorite by far has been AC/DC's Black Ice Tour last December. I never thought I'd have the chance to see them live, but I got my wish. It was awesome. I couldn't hear myself afterwords let alone speak my throat hurt so bad. During the concert, me and my buddies we rocking out to one of their songs and this chick came.... jiggling into us (literally). She was up to my pits and just... bouncing and jiggling all over the place with her hair wacking my face. Her boyfriend was a seat over but didn't bother putting a leash on her as she collapsed into the lap of one of my buddies. We all stopped and looked, she said sorry, took a sip of water, and jiggled her way back to her boyfriend.

I was also able to catch Van Halen in the World Tour '07. That was a treat. They were great and I was way more deaf coming out of that than AC/DC's (tho that's what I get for getting seat next to the large speakers )

I also went to a local festival held by a radio station. It's called Bonebash and is held annually. I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd and Kenny Wayne Sheppard live. Kenny did a tribute to Jimi Hendrix which is probably the only time I'll ever hear anything close to having Jimi himself on stage. That was the most memorable part of that entire concert for me... IIRC, they did All Along the Watchtower... During a particularly looooong rift, Kenny put the guitar behind his head and played it for a minute or two

Later this year I'll be seeing Kylie Minogue and Metallica
