Legendary concerts you were at...?

Oakster

Ever been to a concert that became legendary - even if just amongst that artists fan base?

I have been to many hundreds of shows but cannot really claim that more than a small handful were legendary.

Certainly The Stone Roses at Spike Island in 1990 or Arthur Lee's Liverpool Academy Show in 1992.

Struggling to think of more..am sure there are much better examples from the CL musos.

David Bowie in Prague, 2004. I think it may have been his last concert: he had to abandon it a few songs in due to chest pains.

I liked them. Why they had to switch to being a broadband company is beyond me.
