I'm really surprised that it took that long for someone to mention the Flaming Lips. I've seen em twice, once was their UFO show. There were teletubbies, naked women, Led Zeppelin covers, more confetti than you could EVER imagine in your life, and just general craziness all around.
The White Stripes are absolutely incredible live. Jack White is a fucking blowtorch on the guitar.
Beck, Ben Harper and My Morning Jacket also all put on incredible shows.
And if you've never experienced the majesty of Wilco live, then you should do yourself a favor and get to their next show near you. They have the best lineup they've ever had. Nels Cline on guitar writes the fucking craziest solos in the biz right now. Not so much crazy for their speed etc, more the technical proficiency with which he plays, and the unexpected modes he uses.
