Quite simple, just name the best live bands you've ever seen (except for Rush of course).
For me, its got to be:
Queen
Queensryche
Levellers
Fairport Convention
Thin Lizzy
Diamond Head
Whitesnake (pre 1987)
Hawkwind

Triumph

Kiss (reunion tour #1, when it was all fresh.)
And believe it or not, Cinderella and Bon Jovi put on excellent live shows.

I've only seen Bon Jovi once and they were pretty poor. The again, I've never been much of a fan anyway.
A few I forgot to add.
Marillion (agree with you there Ogg - seen them 8 times, all Fish era)
Clannad
Ladysmith Black Mambazo (unbelievable)
Romeo's Daughter
Saraya

That's 2 L's, buddy!
Peter Frampton was good live
I remember watching in amazement as Geddy sang, played bass, and played the keyboards with his feet. I thought, "Who is this guy???"

U2, best band I've ever seen live.
