For me its The Who, I saw them three times in the seventies, and their stage dynamism, and sheer presence, remains unmatched by any other band I have seen( LOTS!!)
So, who does it/ did it for you?

Muscle Bitches.
strobe-lit mini guitars, g-strings, lucha libre masks, alto sax, flaming cymbals, they really delivered.

The Mars Volta. fecking amazing.
Queen. World class at wembley! I was in the second row!
i actually saw them live!
but it wasn't my fault, they came to my school and inflicted themselves on me.
Rammstein and Metallica
Haven't seen many rock bands live, when I started gigging my musical tastes had moved on by then, but the best one I have seen was Def Leppard in Sheffield back in the early nineties, they were brilliant. great stage presence and great atmosphere.
Wished I'd seen Metallica in their prime, they're a bit shit now so I probably never will, oh and Queen, I would have loved to have seen them too

The Boss of course
Rammstein is a good shout if you're into their music. Absolutely brilliant concerts to attend.
Crazy germans

Good shout, I would go with U2 they were absolutely excellent when I saw them
Metallica of about 14 years ago
Of today's bands, undoubtedly THE FLAMING LIPS

I saw Bon Jovi at Croke Park a few years ago, they were brilliant. 80,000 people singing along to Livin' On A Prayer was amazing.
Going with Ivor and Alex here...Springsteen and U2 know how to put on a show.
Would have said Bowie, about thirty years ago, not sure about now.

what do you mean with best live act? if you refer to the show -lights, moves and that- i'd say rolling stones were ace here in buenos aires, now if you talk about the music performance roger waters hands down, he put tears in my eyes when he sang confortably numb and wish you were here -amobn
I liked the Who circa 1972. Depending on your mood, Alice Cooper and Black Sabbath had interesting stage presentations.
Aerosmith at Hyde Park last year kicked ass
I think the Who in 72 would have been better than anything I've seen posted on this thread.Must have been amazing.
Always got a good show out of Elvis Costello...can't remember a duff one for any of the twenty or so times I've seen him. Nothing flash, just value for money (averages about 2 and a half hours per gig), great back catalogue to draw upon and the Attractions as a group were as tight as feck.
Not the best by a long shot...but even though in record form they've become shite.
Lost Prophets put on an amazing live show.
