Besides being one of the greatest musical performance acts in all of history, skilled at their craft in both composition and improvisation, these guys are also masters of delivery -- not only a great act, but a great show. They've historically and routinely incorporated special antics into their shows and stage presence, and have structured entire antic-y events.

Note that, often, the antics are something of a distraction. For example, yes, Mike and Trey are playing their instruments while bouncing on the trampolines, but pretty steadily; meanwhile, Page is wailing away. And some find Fishman's playing the most interesting during the It's Ice gliders, on which Mike and Trey slide but don't play a whole lot.
