Depends on the artist. I saw DJ Shadow a few years ago, and I walked out because I was so very bored. There are loads of people who make up for the lack of a stage show with exciting visuals or other things. Basement Jazz, for instance, put on a blinding live show. Orbital used to. Christian Marclay and Alvo Noto do wonderful things. Someone like Francesco Lopez would've been amazing to see*, I imagine. And with someone like Merzbow it doesn't matter about the visuals, the music's amazing.
Personally, I don't get excited by seeing 'live' instruments. For every guitar bands who do very little onstage but are still good (Mogwai, for instance) there are a million say-nothing do-nothing bores.
