Beastie Boys at Reading (same year The Prodigy played, possibly Deftones too?).
Buck 65 at The Charlotte with full live band.
Neurosis at some venue in London, basically sounded like the end of the world, was fucking amazing.
Mastadon supporting High on Fire after their first album had just come out, blew the headliners clean out of the water.

1992 Nirvana at Reading, fucking awesome, still can't work out how three guys can make so much noise.
1993 Paul Weller at Glastonbury promoting Wild Wood, showing why he is the bawce and always will be, think it was the moment he put down his guitar after playing an incredible Wild Wood then went and sat down at the piano and banged out the start of Holy Man, I swear you will never see such a sea of young men dabbing tears out of their eyes!

Radiohead at Glastonbury 1997, just after the release of OK Computer. Had just finished my A-level's and was my first ever Glastonbury. Incredible Saturday night headline performance.
Others worthy of a mention: Lauryn Hill at MEN in 1999, Oasis at Maine Road in 1996, REM at MEN around 2000.
Don't really go to gigs anymore nowadays  Meeting the missus sapped the joy out of everything.

Gonna talk about a current concert now, saw Spiritualized in Bristol a few weeks ago, fucking incredible, J Spaceman is simply peerless at what he does. I was spirited to get this down as I've just been looking at waywt thread in which astro boy says "Musics music. Does it matter who its come from and the hype around them or whatever. i like music for the music not because people say its cool or not."
Now Spiritualized are not a cool band, however they are at the top of there game for the kind of rock music they play, but it struck me deeply and I've mentioned it to many friends that their wasn't one single guy there under the age of thirty, no question, so it seems to me that young guys only like the type of music that they are told is cool. Weller is dad rock we all know a bunch of old men go to his concerts (even though he still goes harder than most guys half his age) but guys in their twenties don't have their ears open, if they did I would of seen at least one at the Spiritualized gig.

Spiritualized just aren't marketed these days so they're kind of lost in the ether of 'old music'. I'm not debating their talent but they were a proper hype band of the 90s so people knew who they were then. Even that Ladies and Gentlemen... album was released in pharmaceutical style packaging. There probably wasn't any under 30s at that gig because people of that age group don't remember them the from the first time round.

I love spiritualized. Mind you im and old bastard I've no doubt I'd be posting their gig at the barbican in 09 when they performed ladies and gentlemen in it's entirety as the best concert I'd been to but my son was born a few days before so I had to ditch the tickets  (non) CSB

It was Abbey Road. I was stood about 3 yards from him. He playend 'Lately' and I saw tears rolling down his cheeks - pretty emotional and a one off experience.

You lucky bastard! Three yards from Stevie Wonder and he plays lately while softly crying! No two words about it the man is a true artist, and true artists give their all while playing, as a modern example I'd site Bon Iver. If he was crying don't tell me for one second that you didn't have at the very least a "manly misting". I saw him in a crappy barn venue in Birmingham a year or so ago (nec) and when he started playing isn't she lovely after intoducing his daughter onto the stage who he wrote the song about well, I looked around and I have never seen so many grown men cry, such moments as this for me make life worth living.

Lightning Bolt at Nottingham Trent Uni. Amazing band live.
Slayer at the ATP thing at Alexandra Palace the other weekend was pretty cool too - reminded me I've been neglecting attending gigs recently and should make more effort.
