Weezer and Muse are incredible at sounding exactly like you know them. Who else besides Journey?

I'll say Carrie Underwood.... she hits every note and sounds so crisp.

Alt-J and garbage are probably the two most technically perfect bands I've seen.

Pink floyd too

Dream Theater
Coheed and Cambria

You can also divide this category into entire band v vocals. Plenty of bands will sound perfect live but vocals not so much.

I don't really want a band's live performance to sound just like the album. I prefer to see outstanding musicianship and unique presentation. That is what sets apart bands like The Who and The Doors. You always knew you were getting something special when they played a concert. You can hear the studio versions any time. You may only see them live once. Make it memorable.

Why I really like the 78 Dylan bootlegs, he really changed it up and the arrangements are awesome.

I've seen RHCP twice and was impressed at how good they sounded.

Steely Dan sounds exactly like their recorded music.

A band that sounds exactly like their album during a live show is a crappy live band imo. A Live band should have some extra grit or soul, otherwise why go see them?

Tom Petty in a bad way (agree with the other poster about adding something new at the live show--exception would be ramones...hard to add to a 1:30 song). bands that sound like the album tend to be boring on stage too.

I mostly agree with this. If I wanted to hear the album note perfect, I would stay home and put on my headphones. A live show should have that extra energy that you feel rather than hear.

Jethro Tull were great in the Municipal Auditorium in the mid-70’s.
