How many of the bands/artists mentioned above have I seen live?  I guess we're all about the same age.  In addition to the ones mentioned in my post above...a sampling -- 

I saw Pink Floyd a couple times.  I liked them a lot.
Wynton Marsalis at the Hollywood Bowl.  Outstanding.

The Dictators were bad to the point of being unlistenable.  I still got their record, though.  A cut-out.

Weird Al.  Cute.
U2.  Just too damn serious.
I loved the Grateful Dead's atonal psychedelic jams, but everything else they did left me cold.  I couldn't help but tell the truth when folks asked me what I thought of them.  I'm sure it's one of the reasons I got so little action in college.

The problem with live gigs these days is most start playing after 8pm. Need some matinees.  Good night. 

Unless I missed something, not one person here has mentioned this incredibly tight group, Khruangbin. 
And yes, they can back their recordings with equally, if not more impressive live sets- in the present day!
