One thing, I have talked many times, but not sure if on forum, was Slogun live sets about 20 years ago. When he started to play live, it was perhaps the most active live artists from perspective of someone who did shows around the world. Lots of European dates, Japanese gigs, etc. He'd play France, UK, Germany etc, and also having friends coming along, Control, Sickness, etc.. Most of american power electronics, you could never see over here, but Slogun is something I have seen many times.
The best of the shows were able to capture this menacing vibe, that very few artists do. It wasn't about something ACTUALLY happening, but the that menacing feeling that something is about the happen. Even if it would be artists walking square shape path around the audience. Not just circling around the crowd, but making sharp 90* angle turn and almost like audience would be in cage, and waiting what the hell is about to happen. And this vibe is way more adrenaline rush than kind of "pushing audience PE group hug", heh.. He would could just keep audience wait - minimal noise-drone electronics blasting on PA, and then just eventually starting to do vocals. Not really "a show", but ability to get audiences full attention.
