There's an obscure one for you- hard core punkers from the 80's, I just had dinner with their guitarist, an old friend of mine from high school....

Enigma
Drivin N Cryin
Hootie n the Blowfish (I went to school in South Carolina, friends of mine saw Hootie back in the days they were a cover band!)
The President of the United States of America
Sponge (best "smaller" live show I've ever seen, bar none : Austin TX, summer 1995)
They Might Be Giants
UB40
Someone mentioning Pixies above reminded me : I know they are a pretty good band and influential and all that. However the WORST live show I've ever seen was when the Pixies opened for U2 back in 1992 (early on the Achtung Baby tour, Charlotte NC). Absolutely zero crowd interaction whatsoever, and the crowd was NOT into it.

I saw them open on Lou Reed's New York tour probably a year or two earlier and thought they were a pretty great band, but to each his own....

I saw The Pixies at Coachella and again in Berkely and they put on a great show both times. It was pretty sweet since I missed chances 10 years ago...

A lot of the bands mentioned in this thread are actually touring right now as stated, Duran Duran, Pixies, Oasis, Dinosaur Jr and Slint.
Also, hi everyone, I live in Sacramento but work like a mile from BlackWRX in Vactown so I am kind of a "tweener".
