Oh man. Whittling it down to the three. These two would absolutely make it...
Primal Scream, Chicago, IL (The Metro), 7-1-00
PJ Harvey, Washington, DC (9:30 Club), 9-10-01
I'm not sure who I'd give the nod for third though. Fuck it. I'm going with this...
Janelle Monae, Chicago, IL (The Vic Theatre), 10-21-13

I saw Primal Scream in 2000 too, Lament; that show was mind-boggling good (with Kevin Shields from MBV on guitar to boot). Absolutely one of the best shows I've seen.
I don't think anything comes close to Neil Young and Crazy Horse in 2013 for me, that was pretty much the top of the mountain.

BSB'99 was THE greatest lineup I've ever seen, but it included PJ, so it doesn't count.
