Not too many, I don't live in a big city and it's very expensive to travel to São Paulo and Rio (all bands usually go only to these 2 cities).
But I've had the chance to attend:
Oasis (5x) Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds (5x) Beady Eye (2x) U2 (4x) Coldplay (3x) Paul McCartney (3x) Muse (2x) Iron Maiden The Strokes Maroon 5 (please don't judge me haha) Radiohead Green Day Pearl Jam Travis Alanis Morissette

Most were in my grunge 90s
Ramones- my first and only time that I crowd surfed and got ridiculously high got on stage when Joey later joined pj on stage to sonic reducer.. epic moment Pearl jam U2 Foo fighters Faith no more Alice in chains Rage against the machine Counting crows Aerosmith Neil young Smashing pumpkins No doubt John mellencamp Elton John and Billy Joel Better than ezra- 10x local band Courtney love The toadies Tommy Lee- random gig bc friend worked at the bar. Went backstage, Smoked a rather large joint, he had a boob cam that thankfully I refused to be taped
Stone temple pilots- it was Scott's bday, they brought a cake onstage, he stripped nakef and proceeded to be chased on stage and off by new Orleans police... good times
Just a few that I remember

-Rolling Stones - not bad for a first one! -Johnny Logan - was at a free festival, Donauinselfest -Bon Jovi - stopped being a fan soon afterwards as they became too boring, still, good concert -The Pogues - no Shane MacGowan, I think we had Spider Stacy as lead singer and no Joe Strummer, still great! -REM, twice - a highlight, as REM were my undisputed favorite band until those pesky Mancunians came along -Sonic Youth -30 seconds to Mars - see Bon Jovi, with the difference that the concert was rubbish -New Order - entered liking them, left as a fan, the magic of live music! -Gossip -Peter Hook & The Light - "Unknown pleasures" *faint* -Pain of Salvation/Arstidir/Anneke van Giersbergen -Beady Eye - my first Liam and/or Gallagher concert and the first one abroad, so very special and a brilliant concert -Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - out. of. this. world! -Pearl Jam - almost needed a sick day afterwards -Kasabian, twice - get loose indeed! -Sleaford Mods, twice - was better the first time in a tiny venue -Charlatans - who knew they could rock like that?! -Foo Fighters -Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, twice - again, the magic of live music, finally "getting" DLBIA first and then CS the second date -DMA's - my first one in UK! -Mumford and Sons -Patti Smith - that moment when it started to rain the second she sang "manna from heaven", God is a fan, good on her! -The Who -Disturbed/Avenged Sevenfold -Liam Gallagher - still THE concert highlight for me
Most of those were within the last 5 years, because for a long time I thought concerts were no longer for me. Thankfully New Order cured me of that stupidity.

Oasis Beady Eye x2 NGHFB x2 Klaxons Black Kids Stereophonics Arctic Monkeys Stars The Wombats Kasabian Los Campesinos In one of those shows you got a good story. Tell us about it. Make this thread happen. Klaxons was my first ever gig back in 2007. I went to Stereophnics, Black Kids, Stars, and Arctic Monkeys with the same girl I was crushing on throughout Uni.....Arctic Monkeys with her was beyond an epic night! Beady Eye first time I got a picture with Gem, and second time I shook Liam’s hand. Los Campesinos was the first ever gig I went to by myself and fucking had a mental time. Best gig I’ve ever been to. Mega band. Both Kasabian and The Wombats I went to by myself and got fucking wasted there that I barely remember either, shame cos I do love The Wombats. Brilliant.

There ya go. I was looking for some personal stories here, not just lists. I gotta pretty big list. Might have to work it up after mimmihopps post. I might be a couple years older than some here though Funny thing about going to a gig by yourself is, sometimes it can be more fun. When you are hanging with buds or a date, that's where your focus will be. If alone, you really got no choice but to be more social and interact more with randos. The key though is to not get too fucking wasted

Didn't make it to either, which is a shame, because both are fucking mega.

Paul Weller at the Brighton Centre in 1995 (I think) was my first ever gig - supported by Simon Fowler, lead singer of Ocean Colour Scene, just before the release of Moseley Shoals. Then saw Oasis for the first time in March 1996 in Cardiff. It was the second night, support by the Manics (who I've seen lots as well). First night was supported by Heavy Stereo, Gem's old band. Remember standing in the queue to get into the gig, and people were saying there was a rumour the Manics were playing, and me and my mates (big Manics fans) couldn't believe our luck.
Lots of other gigs, including Doves 5 times in one year.

Supporting Oasis I've seen: The Redwalls (actually really like them, don't think they're around any more) The Subways (meh, alright female bassist) Doves (epic) The Bees (ok, few decent tunes)
Fulfilled my ambition of seeing BRMC last year, love them but I think next time I'd go to London to watch them, the crowd was a bit dead in Brighton
Saw Tom Jones after the races once, was fucking awesome
Went to a festival thing at the Olympic Park, Bruce Springsteen headlined and went on for hours and hours and I got fed up. My sister in law was the one who wanted tickets and got so drunk she couldn't even remember any of it afterwards. Black Crowes and Alabama Shakes also played and were ok I suppose.

Paul McCartney Bob Dylan Neil Young Radiohead Arctic Monkeys U2 Guns N Roses (with Slash and Duff!) The Verve Blur Gorillaz Coldplay The Who Arcade Fire The Libertines Stone Roses Paul Weller Kasabian Morrissey Johnny Marr Richard Ashcroft Primal Scream The Pogues Blink 182 ELO Public Image Ltd Motorhead (my first ever gig, a bit of an eye opener!) Jamie T Jake Bugg Stereophonics Fat Boy Slim The Streets Kaiser Chiefs (my first big gig, Earls Court) The Vaccines Last Shadow Puppets The Enemy The Killers (when they were good) Ray Davies
My only real regrets when it comes to gigs was never seeing David Bowie or Lou Reed. I also really want to see The Rolling Stones, and REM if they ever reform.

Probably easier to say who I haven't seen as I go to at least two festivals a year (Glastonbury and whichever has the best lineup elsewhere) where there's usually at least 25 bands who I'm into. So I'll just go off who I've seen at their own gigs the most and who I've enjoyed the most...
The National Yeah Yeah Yeahs Everything Everything Idlewild Muse The Shins Wolf Alice Frightened Rabbit The Joy Formidable Foo Fighters The Cribs The Libertines Sigur Ros Elbow First Aid Kit Super Furry Animals Primal Scream Suede Stone Roses Arcade Fire King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard Alvvays Ride Slowdive Arctic Monkeys Kasabian Beach House Franz Ferdinand Embrace Coldplay Springsteen Father John Misty Public Service Broadcasting Manic Street Preachers The Verve Blur Jack White Metallica Pixies Doves Charlatans The Coral Ryan Adams The Courteeners Biffy Clyro Royal Blood
And that's just off the top of my head. Ironically the only bands who I wouldn't bother with again are the ones that will mostly appeal to Oasis fans - Kasabian, Ashcroft, Courteeners, Charlatans etc. I just don't enjoy gigs with a "laddish" element to them any more.
