Never saw The Smiths.
Never saw New Order.

To be honest, if that was the O2 show in Dublin, you picked a bloody good one to see. That was my favourite DM show ever, inching out the Manchester MEN gig on the Playing the Angel tour, which would be a close second.

Good idea. I saw the other thread, but after attending about 30 shows per year for ages now, there's no chance to write all these great shows down. Here's the ones I go/went regularly:

Carnivore (5x)
Type O Negative (6x)
Guns N'Roses (4x)
Metallica (10x)
Megadeth (5x)
Die Ärzte (11x)

My favorite 5 shows ever that I attended:
- Carnivore (Wacken 2006)
- Guns N'Roses (Mannheim 1991)
- Type O Negative (Bremen 1994)
- Miley Cyrus (Dublin 2009)
- Die Ärzte (Berlin 2002)

yeah, was my first gig ever. I thought they were better in 96 for the Load tour, but CoC supported and made it a really good night. I'm kinda sorry I didn't go and see them on the death magnetic tour just for old times sake. Really good setlists.
If I had been a bit older, I would have seen so many good bands around 92 in Ireland...
