if i was in a band i would interact with the audience all the time. it's something that i always look forward in a concert (but it never happens).
saw a local band once and they stoped one of their slow songs to put 2 couples on the stage to do a 'slow dance contest'.
it was something rare but very amusing.
anyway, that alongside with green day in the nimrod tour (lots of interaction)
and pearl jam for the first time last year.

By far, the first time I saw Pearl Jam in Milwaukee at Marcus Amp. in 1995.
I haven't seen many other bands in concert besides Pearl Jam. I've seen Pearl Jam 6 times.
I saw Tori Amos in Columbus, Ohio in 1995 also and she was awesome.
NIN in Columbus in 1995 kicked ass.

standin above the crowd
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way

front row
excellence beyond compare
Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green

Besides Pearl Jam I would have to go with The Decemberists. They know how to put on a damn good show.
I have seen them last year, good gig.
Do you like the last album?
I do!
