I've been to a few Rush concerts, and I thought they sounded fairly close to their studio recordings, and I liked that.

There are a couple songs where I tend to prefer the concert version over the studio recording. One of them is "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band" from Paul McCartney's 1990 'Tripping the Live Fantastic' concert tour. They did an extended version of it with a long jam in the middle, and I think it just sounds good overall too.  Another is The Talking Heads' "Take Me To The River" from their 1984 "Stop Making Sense" tour - They made that one faster and more upbeat in that tour compared to their studio recording. 

Another band I like (some of their work, anyway) is Kraftwerk.  I haven't been to any of their concerts, but from what I can tell, their live concerts tend to sound pretty much the same as their live recordings (except for some tweaks here and there).  It seems that part of their act is that when they play live, they're basically playing audio samples & such from their laptops in much the same way they'd do their studio recordings.
