Orbital, no contest. They absolutely redefined what live electronic music can sound like. I've seen them four times, and I shed a little tear when I saw them on the last date of their farewell tour.
Comedy - I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue live. Well-known to anyone who listens to BBC Radio 4, and tickets are like gold dust. I laughed so hard I could feel it the next morning.

While I've never actually seen them live I hear STARS is better live than on their albums, on their albums they use a lot of Synthisizers and Electronica, but in their live shows I hear they focus on classical rock instrumentation with only a single keyboard and not a lot of mixing, and apparently it's a truly awesome experience.
Personally though the best live shows I've ever been too are David Bowie and Bruce Springsteen (seen for free while working as an usher, I also accidentaly got high at a Metallica concert, but that's another story)

Comedy: Lee Evans, that man is hilarious.
Musical: Disturbed, they sound so good live almost as good as in the studio. Perhaps they were too good, hmmmm.

Haven't seen a comedian yet and see Disturbed next Friday. However, to date, Muse and The Killers are my pick, they were fantastic live.

gwar and rammstein are tied for a close second
tho Mike Patton's projects are always good

Dream Theater's live shows are nothing short of epic.
That said, in my experience, the live shows that I have enjoyed the most have been bands that play in shithole bars and underground concert halls. I saw 3 Inches of Blood not too long ago at such a shithole, and it's an experience I'll never forget.

MSI has an incredible live reputation, I've been lucky enough to see them twice and it does live up to the hype. I could count it as comedy too seeing that Jimmy Urine likes to crack quite a few jokes throughout their performance. He once asked for cigs from the crowd, "The gods are in need of smokes!" someone threw a pack of menthol's at him, "The Gods DO NOT like menthol!" and throws it back at the guy.
I saw the Summer Slaughter Tour 2008 (the American leg of the tour) and loved it. Born of Osiris, The Faceless, Whitechapel, The Black Dahlia Murder, and several local death metal/deathcore acts. The best modern death metal and deathcore music around, it was great. So much brutality. Unfortunately I did not get to stay for the entire thing because if I did, I would have died of dehydration and exhaustion. I spent all my money on a Despised Icon shirt and getting my friend in, then after that, I had no cash only a debit card, which they did not accept. And also you couldn't leave and return. So, I would have been at a 8 or so hour long death metal concert, moshing, throwing down, sweating everything, without water.
I would've died. Still a great show, I'll never forget it. Crowd surfed, throwind down, shook hands with the Faceless singer while he was screaming out stuff, all in all a great time.

Arcade Fire, in the Super Bock Super Rock 2007 festival in Portugal. It wasn't as awesome as that concert - in Montreal, I believe - where they left the stage and went on playing through the streets, but the band knows how to draw the audience into them in a wonderful way.
Public Enemy - Brixton, May 23rd 2008
Performing the whole of "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back".
I've been to a lot of shows in my life but there was something amazing about how Public Enemy made the album (released 1988) still seem fresh.
Comedy wise ? Paul Merton presenting the Silent Comedy Festival in Bristol was pretty good.
