Yeah
Loads of New Order gigs, couple of Kraftwerk ones. Oh, and Goldie Lookin Chain supporting Kasabian at Brixton at the start of the year. Had never seen them before, nor since, but had a big old smile on my face for the whole of their set: you knows it.

Liam filled in for What's her face during their dance practices while she was off doing solo work
Dancing being such a vital part of music of course...ask Mozart.

Let's see, if I remember well, I've only seen 3 gigs from "Internationa artists", so it's not much I can compare...
2 times New Order and 1 time Depeche Mode.. wanted to see U2 but I had to keep my money for plane tickets to see New Order, so...
There's one thing I regret is probably not following the usual suspects up front to have the "full experience".. photo pass is cool, but to be honest, it's fun for 3 songs only ;)
The Depeche Mode gig was an arena one, so completely different context.
One of the best "gig" I've seen recently, although I think it was November last year and not in 2005, was the opera version of the rock opera Starmania, that was seriously amazing... but I guess most of you have no idea what I'm talking about ;)
