Well, let's see... I'm deaf, of course, so I don't "do" concerts, but oddly enough I used to, back in the days when I was a hardcore hippie, yeah :-) I had lots of friends involved in that world, and I used to get into concerts free. They let me stand up next to the amps, and I'd absorb the music through my skin :-)
Generale, I was at Altamont also :-) Small world...
At the Fillmore East I remember Jim Morrison and the Doors very well. I once spent a whole night (and into the next morning) drinking with Janis Joplin (and a bunch of other people) and that was a strange experience. I knew Jerry Garcia (not real well but a little more than "hi, how are ya") and many people assume my screen name is a Deadhead reference, though it actually isn't. I remember Bob Dylan, I remember Pete Seeger, I remember Arlo Guthrie and Joan Baez. I actually met Joan, I was friends with her sister Mimi's husband Richard Farina (God rest his soul, if you are interested in counterculture arcana locate a copy of his incredible novel Been Down So Long it Looks Like Up to Me)...
I am getting long winded. This is all so long ago it's like in another country. Modern music? I haven't a clue....

Have twice tried to see U2 and somehow, for some reason, the fine line of the law prevented me. What a waste of good tickets.
Oh, and of course this list does not include the at least 3 dozen orchestras, chamber groups, classical and jazz quartets seen along the way.
In other situations:
Brian Eno twice on lecture tour
