Nothing ruins a show for me quite like drums and bass that drown out everything. I agree it should be vocals guitar then bass and drums. Other than that the thing I look for is musicianship and sincerity on the stage. Also, it's usually best when the lead singer doesn't talk in between songs because usually they just end up annoying me, unless they really know what they are doing.
