I don't think I've ever seen a band live :P I once saw Pavarotti live towards the end of his career but the show was cut short due to rain and/or his health.

Wow. It wasn't quite as bad as that... you could just tell he really wasn't into it, Flea was doing all the talking and they just played the songs and left... but it wasn't long after John had left them and I think that hit him hard...

Yeah, John had just left when I saw them that time too.

The saving grace was they had this unheard of (in the midwest anyway) group opening for them who's first album had just been released three days prior, and they tore the roof off the fucking place!

I can't remember their name unfortunately. It was.....Pearl something.

I am terrible at remembering which artists I have seen live :-( but reading your lists makes several ring bells ('oh, I've seen that one') but now I already forgot again :-D

Madonna was so so. I feel no need to go again
Kraftwerk (twice) were good but both shows were so same, just one song difference, same show despite many years apart
Jean-Michel Jarre was fantastic
The Tiger Lillies (several times) are always amusing
Black Sabbath had me wondering what I was doing there but it was an alright show
Dream Theater was a nice surprise for me as I had never heard (of them) before

I am sure I forgot a bunch of internationally famous artists but my memory is awful.

Haha, oh yeah, I forgot this wasn't the first time he had left...

Nice opening act though, I'd love to see Pearl Jam live.

My biggest regret is not going to see RHCP when they played Slane Castle years ago, the Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age (and looking it up now, Feeder too) opened for them.. but it was before I was into any of the other bands and I was quite young, and the friends we were planning to go with dropped out...
Would have been an awesome gig :/

Metallica, at the rocking venue of.... Whitley Bay Ice Arena. Lol.

It was cold....
My feet were frozen from the ice....
Metallica were very late getting on stage....

But, at least it was long before that hideous St.Anger.
