Order oldest to latest

Bush an the Ulsterhall in Belfast First ever crowd surf.

Prodigy and Foo Fighters in Tipperary First open air concert.

Reel Big Fish @ Donington Massive circle pits.

Rancid in Manchester. Nearly got knocked about by a dude in Doc Martins who was kicking while crowd surfing, I punched him in the nuts.

Slipknot and Metallica (when Lars was sick an Joey from Slipknot played a few songs with them) @ Donington. Lars may have founded the band but they sound better with a drummer of Joey's level.

Mogwai in Birmingham. Nothing better when high as kite

Therapy? in Dublin Always wanted to see them. Shame they had to stop because of Axel Rose and his ego.

Foo Fighters in Belfast. Just awesome.

Everything Everything @ Limelight in Belfast. A brilliant experience and small crowd. Met the band afterwards.

Without a shadow of a doubt the Rolling Stones hands down, i'm not even that into their music but saw them at Twickenham about 6 years ago.

Have seen the Red Hot Chilli peppers too who put on a great show well worth seeing.

I did take the wife to see Take That at Wembley a few years back, I have to say they were very good and well worth seeing, I did think the Pet Shop Boys were better though and they were just a support act.
 
Most consistently good live band Barenaked Ladies, always a great show.
most often seen band live The Bluetones, I loved to mad in the mosh pit.
Most memorable show Simon and Garfunkel at the Albert Hall.
The "never thought I would see them live" favourites, Arthur Lee and Love, Country Joe and the Fish, Leonard Cohen.
