After seeing numerous live shows, I'm gonna have to go with these bands as a top three (in no particular order):
-Avenged Sevenfold: I've seen em twice and each time they put on an amazing show. They pull off excellent guitar solos that I couldn't imagine playing, and they do it in style. Also, M. Shadow's vocals are very impressive. Each band member delivers to their fullest, and it shows.
-Green Day: I really respect these guys as performers. I saw them live a couple years ago and they were amazing as well. Billie Joe is one of the most energetic frontmen I've ever seen, but he's also very talented and does a great job controlling the crowd to however he wants them to act. As a band, they function very well and play their songs flawlessly.
-Fall Out Boy: Despite getting a bad rap in general, these guys are really good live. Their songs sound excellent live and watching them perform is even better. The guitarist/bassist put in an incredible amount of energy into all of the acrobatic moves they pull. Overall, they sound great and put on an even better performance (visually).

nothing and i mean NOTHING can top the rolling stones in concert...even if i had nosebleed seats in madison square garden, it was amazing. these guys are such good performers, no offense to the rammstein and green day fans...
they are pretty good live. i was impressed.
Mindless Self Indulgence was probably the most fun i've had at a concert (all 3 times i seen them).
Mars Volta - simply amazing. probably the best show ive seen.
