Not counting festivals... let's see.

Sunset Rubdown - Fantastic.
Wolf Parade - A little underwhelming compared to Sunset Rubdown.
Arcade Fire - Absolutely amazing, and this minute I'd swim the Atlantic to see them play again, even if it was on fire.
Metric - Great fun live, but I'm kind of over them.
Feist - Solid, better guitarist than I realised and a nice lady.
Foo Fighters - Exactly what I expected, no more no less.
Man Man - Unlistenable on record, but a total riot to see play.
Final Fantasy - Mesmerising dude, does amazing stuff.
Dolly Parton - and by God, I regret nothing
RHCP - were really not great.
CSS - Sweaty laughs.
Parenthetical Girls - Clever and fun.
Radiohead - Great, but they don't really do anything different onstage than they do on disc, and I don't feel like I need to see them again.
Clinic - Playing too big a venue for the kind of music they play, and couldn't engage the crowd at all.
The National - Good, but I didn't quite enjoy them as much as everybody else around me seemed to.
Klaxons - Surprisingly moshy live, which is a good thing.

Missing a lot, but that's off the top of my head this minute.

Always fun to remember the gigs. I have a few beers on me or I would avoid this kind of indulgence.

The festivals:-

Memories from Reading
- Charlatans at their peak, fantastic
- The Music at the start of their career, impressive
- The Fall with a drunk Mark E. Smith and seriously pissed off band members (never a boring band to watch)
- Chili Peppers, meh
- Chemical Brothers, hard to get worked up over some guys playing CDs

Memories from Féile
- Happy Mondays, my Gods at the time I stayed up front for hours dying for a piss waiting for them to perform. Well worth it but my kidney was numb
- Rage Against the Machine, simply amazing

Slane
- REM, well worth it but I doubt if I'll ever visit Slane again.

On their own:-

New Fast Automatic Daffodils - for a fiver. They were some band and to see them in a small venue for such a small price....a gig I will never forget. Nobdy else remembers them anymore.
Ride - in McGonagles days before their debut album was released. A special band imo.
Inspiral Carpets - another great gig where my glasses got crushed in the mosh but I didn't care. One of those rare times where I joined the moshing at a gig.
The The - unfortunately no Jools Holland but great to see Matt Johnson and argue with a bored Dave Fanning we spotted afterwards about how good they were.
Smashing Pumpkins - for about 3 or 4 songs. Yes that gig.
Pavement - simply one of my favorite bands in my lifetime. I'm happy I saw them at least once.
Stephen Malkmus - and happy that Malkmus is carrying the torch.
Mercury Rev - one of the greats for me but a little dissappointing in this particular gig.
Arcade Fire - Got to see them at the Phoenix Park and they easily live up to the hype.

Multiple Visits:-

The Wedding Present - will never tire of The Weddos.
Spiritualized - I'm too old to know the right people these days but if I did I would be spliffed up every time for these guys.
Teenage Fanclub - so many good albums, so criminally ignored.
The Charlatans - have outlasted so many of their peers and deservedly so. Love any chance to see them. Last time at the Academy they were on top form.
The Fall - I've seen Mark E. Smith and his various ensembles many times and it never gets old.

The ones that need to be chalked off:-

Eels - absolutely top of my list. I must see E before I die.
Beck - Sadly if I get a chance to see him it will probably be with 80000 kids but so be it.
Sigur Ros - I think I'd prefer to travel to Iceland and watch them play in a small village but will probably have to make do with the same mewling kids as Beck if I do get to see them. Oh well.

One of the best artists I've ever seen was Pierce Turner from Wexford, a great Irish singer/songwriter.
