In answer to the question above, yes, the White Stripes are quite entertaining live. Jack gives everything. Meg is one of the most interesting drummers to watch. The downside is stupid crowd members as they have grown in popularity.
Two of my favorites haven't been mentioned yet:
Yeah Yeah Yeahs who are simply amazing live.
The Hiveslive up to one major music publication's billing as "the best live show."
There is so much great music being made today. So many great bands are playing small venues. I am an old guy but I think the music scene has never been better. It just takes a little work to find it instead of being force-fed by your local radio DJ.
