Excellent price on mics I like for live performance.

The Rode NT1A is currently my favorite mic for live sound. Not so much in the studio because I don't love the top end that way. That very flaw makes it nice and warm on live PAs with piezoelectric tweeters that tend to crackle and be harsh with vibes. It has excellent off axis rejection and a very strong signal. It does require a board that can provide phantom voltage.

If you are in the market, there is a good deal being offered by Guitar Center right now. For roughly $500, you can get a pair.
