For me Nirvana at Reading festival 199..something.

But to be more topical 3 Daft Monkeys @ Beautiful Days last year.

They were only supposed to be doing a gig in the bimble inn but with another band cancelling only days before the festival they were promoted to 5pm ish (a good time slot for all ages) on main stage and in front of a big Levellers following they did a cracking set and took the roof off!!!

erm...sorry no roof but you know what I mean.

I have since read on their forum AND heard it from the lips of Athene herself that it was probably the best gig they have ever done!
