Ok gig fan let's have em,
Here's mine,
David Ford at the Cockpit Leeds - simply one of the best gigs I've ever seen and I've been to a lot.
Calexico at Manchester Acadamy - My first Calexico gig.
Flaming Lips at the Birmingham NIA - My first Lips gig and great fun.
Muse at Birmingham NEC - I saw Muse as a support band in 1999 and they were the worst support band ever. This gig confirmed their reputation as the best live band around.

The Blind Boys of Alabama at the Shedd Institute in Eugene, OR.
The Shedd used to be First Baptist Church, and was the perfect venue for them. Reasonable sized (seats a few hundred) hall, and, well, it looks like a 100 yr old Baptist Church...

Oh, it's been so long since I've gone to a concert, sniff. Still,
here's some favorites (all venues in San Francisco, CA):
Cake at the Great American Music Hall, right after Motorcade of
Generosity came out.
Neil Finn at Bimbo's 365, on his Try Whistling This tour
Mojo Nixon at Slim's
Billy Bragg, and Robyn Hitchcock's brilliant opening show, at the Orpheum.

Hmm:
Muse @ Sheffield Hallam Arena
Tool/Mastodon @ Nottingham Arena
Opeth @ Nottingham Rock City
Seeing Metallica play the whole of Master Of Puppets at Download
probably some others I don't remember too.
...and next year we have Incubus, NIN, Mastodon and Deftones.

Only two really great ones:
Lizz Wright at Cosmopolite (Oslo, Norway)
Beth Hart at Jelling Music Festival (Denmark)
The Lizz Wright gig was absolutely magic.
