Really tough choice, but U2 at Compton Terrace in 85 was amazing. I also saw Cracker at a tiny little spot in Tucson(Club Congress) and they blew me away - fun, crazy and irreverent. And my freshman year in college, Jane's Addiction played in a small little venue at the University of Arizona Student Union. There were only about 50 of us in the audience and it was great.
Embarassingly though, I have to admit that I saw Huey Lewis in the late 80's. I was taking a family friend to his first concert, and while the show was good, about twenty minutes after the show ended, Lewis and the band came back out and had everyone left in the arena come down and they jammed for another hour. It was great rock and blues and jazz that they just felt like playing. I was very impressed.
