I've never been to a gig outside of Ireland but I just bought a ticket to see LCD Soundsystem play Webster Hall in New York in June. I'm really starting to look forward to this holiday now.

saw....
Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros live at Liverpool Uni. November 22nd 2002. It was a riot ! most people never understand how great that band were as a whole, or in fact how brilliant they were live, atmosphere was something else. Incidentley this was the last ever gig they played, Joe died exactly a month later. 
The only other gigs Ive been to would have been Oasis @ le Zenith in Paris 2002, great Venue, great performance.
