Springsteen - 4th July 1985 Wembley, London (my third Bruce concert was the best by far)
The Ramones - 31st December 1977 Rainbow Theatre, London (Had seen them earlier in the year with Talking Heads as support, now that was out of this world)
Sham 69 - ? May 1978 Harlsden Roxy, London (Night after they appeared on TOTP doing 'Angels with Dirty Faces')
The Clash - 1978 Lyceum Ballroom, London (Give 'Em Enough Rope Tour. )
The Alarm - The Gathering 16 (2008), Wales (a set that lasted over three hours. Awesome stuff)
Slade - Reading Festival 1979 (I think. They blew Whitesnake off the stage!)
Television/Blondie - May 1977 Hammersmith Odeon
The Jam - 1977 Croydon Greyhound (were supported by New Hearts who went on to become Secret Affair. Pretty good band but The Jam were truly outstanding)
The Ruts - actually hard to pick one date because every time they played they tore the house down. If I was put in a corner and had to pick one it would be a show in early 1979 at the Music Machine in Camden Town.
Mention of the Music Machine brings up another fine show that I recall with great fondness: The Psychedelic Furs a few months prior to the release of their debut album.
I could go on but that's enough for the moment.

That was great - went to a gig in Rome. I should also mention Lou Reed playing the album Magic and Loss in a theatre; a bit sad, but awesome. But I guess, in my experience, Pink Floyd shows are the only ones that compare to U2 ones. I've also been to a Nirvana gig - one of the last. That was great too: no screens, but a lot of - admittedly non always positive - energy.
