Live Music for a Wet Dream

Thought that would get your attention.
If you could pick the ULTIMATE live festival line up, featuring any act from the last 30 odd years, who would make the cut? It's one of those hypotheticals that make music nerds (i.e. me) start to drool with ideas, our minds brimming with creative possibilites. National youth broadcaster in Australia, the ever cool Triple J are asking their listeners to compile such a list, with the top 10 'gigs' they have recorded from the last 30 odd years, played "festival" style over the last weekend in August.

So this is what I came up with:
BEASTIE BOYS (1995)
FOO FIGHTERS (1998)
JEFF BUCKLEY (1995)
MICHAEL FRANTI & SPEARHEAD (2001)
NINE INCH NAILS (2000)
PLACEBO (2004)
QUEENS OF STONE AGE (2003)
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE (1999)
RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS (1999)
UNDERWORLD (1999)

...with humble apologies to Elvis Costello, The Whitlams, Jurassic 5 and The Roots. Still, you can't lose! Obviously this list has a very rock orientated feel, but they all deserve to be there me thinks.(Hate mail can be left in the usual comments place below.)
