Most enjoyable probably Asian Dub Foundation 2004 Manchester Academy or The Vandals at Highbury Garage in 1996.

ADF were a great live band. Saw them do a very interesting live soundtrack of the classic French film "The Battle of Algiers" at Brighton Dome. A few years later they did the same with "La Haine", but i missed that one.

I met Satpal Ram (the Indian waiter who was banged up for a murder committed in self defence and who was ADF's cause celebre) in HMP Full Sutton once.
 
Can't nail one down but this has to be up there.

The Smiths at Salford University in 1986. The day after the festival of the tenth summer.
 
Not in any particular order but:

Queen, Free Trade Hall, November 75, the night Bohemian Rhapsody went to no.1
Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Crucuble, 1976ish
Bowie, Bingley Hall, think 1976
Bruce Springsteen, NEC, 1976
The Who, Queen Elizabethan Hall, 1977, probably the best gig ever until Nick Cave came along
The Clash, siousixie and the banshees and Magazine at the Elizabethan Hall, 1977ish, £1 entrance
Kiss, FTH, sometime late 70s
Bob Dylan, Earls Court, 1978
Joy Division, several times 79/80, best at the Russell Club
