far far too many to really narrow it down, but some of favourites, and have excluded all Cope and Festivals!:
Frank Sidebottom
3rd May 89 at the Marquee
One of the funniest nights of my life! Pissed, stoned, got to kiss Little Frank, and ended up on the wrong side of London
Nitzer Ebb
20th March 90 ULU
Sweaty, groovy, hard beats, and really great sex at the end of the evening!
Happy Mondays
7th April 90 Wembley Arena
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Ian McNabb
23rd October 91 Camden Underworld
Made loads of new mates (was abandoned just before gig, so gave tickets away) and got to sing some old Neil Young numbers backstage with McNabb
Kraftwerk
20th July 91 Brixton Academy
It's Kraftwerk!
Ash
19th May 96 Sheffield Uni
Spent the weekend stoned with my little brother, and was the last time I saw him before his breakdown
Space
20th January 97 Astoria
Live, they were just so much fun
My Life Story
1st May 97 Astoria
Election special gig, with a wheel of fortune for the songs they played, and glammed up ladies everywhere
Madness
7th June 98 Finsbury Park
Had forgotten just how bloody good they were! Danced my pants off, and got to see Finlay Quaye bottled to fuck!
Glide
26th April 92 Spitz Club
Spaced out night ;-)
Kraftwerk
18th March 04 Royal Festival Hall
Took my son, who made up little dances for songs, wore his Orbital-like glasses, and had a great time
Kraftwerk

It's bloody Kraftwerk!
Ian Hunter
