It depends on what makes a show good for you, and though there are many older bands I never got to see live (only saw on video) I could gaurantee put on a sick show, but I'll only answer based on shows I have been to.
In my opinion:
If you enjoy high energy, raw preformances that are as good or better than the record then
KoRn was a must see during their KoRn, Life Is Peachy & Follow the Leader albums. KoRn built their fan base of the strength of their live shows so as you can imagine that was a wild show. So good in fact I saw them more than 8 times. Not sure about their live show after, and I am not sure how Head's leaving effected the group dynamic & live preformance. Back in the day they were awesome.
If you like a frontman who's a good showman (along with his band members, theatrics, and a band that plays as good the record sounds
Marylin Manson put on a sick sick sick show I loved Manson live both times.
If you just want to rock out to a high energy show of amazing music then
Soundgarden,
Deftones,
Red Hot Chilli Peppers,
White Zombie, and
Skunk Anansie were amazing shows to see everytime.
U2 are in a class of their own also great live show.
It's hard to pick honestly, because I like quality bands so it's rare that I haven't loved a concert and I haven't been to a rock concert in a while so I am drawing from memory here Lol.
