I do not seem to see that many live national level shows these days, but recently I went into a Foo Fighters concert not that much of a fan and came away blown away. And any live clips I have seen of them have been impressive.
I had no idea who Kaiser Chiefs were, but they did a great show, too. Came across much better than they do to me on CD.
I have not actually seen them live, but from video clicks, I am betting that The Arcade Fire lives up to its rep and is amazing live.
Springsteen plus the E-Street Band seems to deliver.
Most concerts of any size probably disappoint. I am not up to date enough to dis anyone, although I have seem quite a few. The Foos were just outstanding, though. The real deal.
