Some of the bands I'll see live any chance I get:
Drive-By Truckers
Wilco
Jason Isbell
Sturgill Simpson
The Mavericks
Dawes
Margo Price
Ryan Bingham
But hip hop artists normally sound pretty bad live. It's basically a studio medium. Although I found both Cypress Hill and Outkast to be rather good live. Even then, not as good as on wax.
Guess that's what I was trying to say.
Love many bands, listening to their recordings, then I see them live and they can't come close to what I liked about them and they're almost cringe.
Love U2, but there not a great live band, at any age.
Love Tool, hated them live.
Saw Wilco, last fall outdoors, and he/they were better live than recorded.
But I'm sticking to hardly any bands sound good live, especially when they're over 60
