    So many that my answer is just listing most of the concerts I can remember going to

    The Midnight
    Roosevelt
    Tycho
    DJ Shadow
    deadmau5
    Perturbator
    Rush (RIP Neil)
    Celldweller
    The Crystal Method
    Psychostick
    Above & Beyond
    Kodo (Japanese taiko drummers)
    Lateralis (chiptune musician and indie game dev)

    If I had to pick the three most memorable, it'd be Kodo, DJ Shadow, and The Midnight

    +1 for The Midnight. About halfway through the show all but one person went backstage. For about 20 minutes this guy had the most killer synth solo. I was mind blown how well they incorporated the synth into a live concert.

      I'll bet they are great live. I actually have only heard one song of theirs, which I found by accident years ago when trying to find something else. Everlasting Light, played live.
      One of very few songs that completely makes it obvious how much mp3 compression sucks, and even if you download the FLAC (sadly not high res) you can still hear everything wrong with your speakers and if you listen to it on good headphones then you can hear the deficiencies of the mic they used to record it.

      Truly a huge amount of audio information in that track. I love it!

        Dada Life. Wouldn’t call them a band just a DJ pair. Only one of them played, but the show he put on was incredible. He had all of the things to keep your hands on the air. He was throwing out beach balls, big blowup bananas (which I managed to keep one and he signed it after the show), big balloons and had a big flag that he had the crowd hold up over their heads, he also handed out pillows for a pillow fight we did.

          Hell yeah!

          I remember the audience just absolutely losing it the first time the sax came out, and also every time after that. Such an excellent band, and I was so thrilled to see how much they blew up

            Not a band, but Patti Smith, with Philip Glass.

                  I saw that live. I remember thinking "man that was a good show they should be wrapping up soon" but it was like halfway through. They played a 3 hour set. Insane.

                      Buddy Guy. the concert was pretty posh (think bankers in suits), with everyone having arranged seating, audience sitting still and quiet like at a classical music concert.

                      he was like 'fuck this, this isn't a proper concert, my guitar is wireless, let's stand up, go to the entry hall and jam'. so he's just standing in the middle of the crowd and going nuts, at like 83 years of age. That was amazing.

                        Dj shadow vs cut chemist at the Hollywood bowl. It was experimental but quite the experience

                          In the vein of the second one, I saw George with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra at the Opera House, performing with Jon Lord a symphony that wrote. Fucking incredible.

                              Tool, always. Propagandhi were also great.

                              I saw Tool live at a festival in 2019. I had never heard of them before, I'm more of a punk rock guy. Their show absolutely blew me away. Surreal experience. I've listened to their albums a lot ever since.

                                Muse. They are almost too perfect live. It feels uncanny.

                                  I have seen them 7 times between 2002 and 2024, and they were exceptional each time (even if they only played my favourite song for the first time in the '24 gig). I also love that they don't allow phones at their gigs. It's great to not have a sea of screens in front of you. They usually have great warm up acts too.

                                      +1 for above and beyond, saw them at the o2 in Greenwich. Amazing musicians.
