My wife and I saw one Springsteen concert and it was one of the poorest performances we've ever seen. We left before the concert ended.

It all depends how you define "performance"
All bands put on a show, and then there are bands that put on a show.

There is music, and then there is theatre.

Elvis died before I was born but my parents saw him perform in Las Vegas twice. They told me it was the best concert they ever saw.

This is where a criteria should be set. Is it for audio performance or for visual performance?

Your profile says you are thirty-two. When did you see Buddy Holly perform?

IMO, often the best performance are far from the most popular.

It is well known, that the Beatles were garbage, and sucked to see them live. Because of ampflication technology, and the roar of the crowd? Nobody could hear them at a lot of their concerts.

Hell, they even admitted to not playing some of their songs, and just acting like it some of the times, and no one even knew there was no sound, because the roar of the crowds was so loud.

So, if it is about, "performers," that disqualifies the Beatles right off.

 

[MisterBeale]

IMO?

I would put

STYX, BNL, Micheal Jackson & Pink Floyd on that list. Those were bands/performers that were all known for putting on a real show.

I was in Los Angeles listening to Deep Purple, "made in japan" concert.
