To me, I think Distrubed was pretty good. The worst band ive ever been to is Coheed and Cambria. They didn't sound anything like their music albums but I am also not much of a fan of them anyways, I am going to see cannibal corpse and slayer soon so I will rate and review them after I see them. Please tell me the concerts you guys have been to and which bands were the best and worst to see live in person.
Scorpions, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Judas Priest, and Rush all had epic concerts to me. Rob Zombie, Iced Earth, and Korn were also great. But honestly, I think the most bang for your buck can be had at a music festival instead of a normal concert. Granted some festivals are getting way too pricey, but the number of bands they bring in with great shows and great music can't really be topped.
I thought Fall Out Boy put on a good concert. Their lead singer Patrick Stump is REALLY good at singing live.
the most amazing concerts i've ever been to were for a japanese hardcore band called envy. i've had the pleasure and privilege of seeing them once in japan when i was still enlisted in the military, and then again last year in california while they toured in promotion of their latest album. sadly they're no longer the quintet they were for the 24 years they had been together. the vocalist decided to leave the band earlier this year for unknown reasons, and the remaining band members are carrying on without him. here's a sample of what they were like live...

I'd say Emilie Autumn and One-Eyed Doll.
Emilie Autumn is....well, her shows are interesting, for sure. LOL She likes to mix normal concert aspects with more theatrical performances, hence why she actually has her Bloody Crumpets that are there purely for live shows to perform with her. It's only become even more so since her last album is supposed to be a concept for a musical based on her book. I've seen her three times and have never regretted it!~ <3 Though it helps that once I got picked to play the rat game and got to kiss Veronica Varlow. x3 BEST. CONCERT. EVER.

One-Eyed Doll, well, Kimberly (the frontwoman) makes the show. x3 She interacts with the audience so much and is just such a hyper little ball of energy. And she's so funny when she decides to talk! Not to mention utterly adorable at all times. x3 And they're slowly getting bigger as they tag along with other bands, meaning bigger budgets for shows on top of what's already there.

never been to a rush concert but i've seen the videos and... damn!
muse also has a lot of good stuff happening
I have been to a lot of old school metal concerts. The best ones were Megadeth, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.
I went to Ozfest two years in a row, I think it was like 2004 and 2005. There is was huge lineup of awesome bands. Some of My favorites were Black Label Society, Mastodon, Rob Zombie, Death Angel and MAIDEN who headlined with Ozzy.
Pink Floyd had absolutely amazing shows. From fog and lasers to performing behind a giant wall, even setting up a stage on a barge to play at Venice.
Here's one of my all time favorite performances and guitar solos.

Like a couple other shows on our list of the 10 Most Epic Rock Concerts of All Time, the Rolling Stones’ infamous outing at the Altamont Speedway in California on Dec. 6, 1969, is best remembered for something other than the music. Not that there wasn’t plenty of great tunes there — the free show included performances by Santana, the Flying Burrito Brothers and Jefferson Airplane in addition to the Stones’ headlining set.
i would say Versailles because before they replaced the lead singer they had some awesome concerts and the singer was really really good at singing and he sounded just like his album.
