There are definitely some good artists on that list but almost all of those shows are just the band replicating their albums with the same setlist night after night. Phish's improv and legendary tourong from 1993-2000 puts them at the top.

Uriah Heep


Another great live band, saw them on 3 straight tours in N.O. back in the early 70's. I remember there was talk in record magazines about the loudest band in existence, and I think the Heep beat out Deep Purple with the highest decibel recorded level at live shows.
