I'd say Gary Clark Jr. Check out his songs "When My Train Pulls In" and "Don't Owe You a Thang" live. Any artists you can think of? I'd like to listen to them as well :) (I somehow think blue musicians do better if it is live.)

I saw Gary Clarke junior live once. Muse is definitely the best live band. Even if their music sucks, their live performances are amazing.

all the bands i've seen in concert in my opinion (silversun pickups, nine inch nails, primus, tool, death cab for cutie, vinyl theater, against me!, breaking benjamin, starset, young guns)

though i wouldn't say this about all of their material, the live/acoustic versions of pretty much all of the songs off of death cab for cutie's most recent album are far better than the studio versions (especially the vocals!)
