James Brown,
Amy Winehouse,
Glenn Frey with the eagles,
Keith Flint with the prodigy (unfortunately)
Chester with Linkin Park (like all teenagers at the time I had a phase)

There are probably plenty more that will come back to me but interesting to see what older legends from years back people got to see

I saw the following that are now deceased:

Freddy Mercury (with Queen) - Knebworth in 1986

Philip Chevron (with The Pogues) - Croke Park in 1987

David Bowie - Slane in 1987 (Glass Spider Tour)

Stuart Adamson (with Big Country) - Slane in 1987

Frank Sinatra - Lansdowne Stadium in 1989

Sammy Davis Junior - Lansdowne Stadium in 1989

Prince - Páirc Uí Chaoimh in 1990 and R.D.S. in 1992
Tom Petty (with the Heartbreakers) - The Point in 1992 and 3Arena in 2012
Howie Epstein of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - The Point in 1992

Glenn Frey - National Stadium in 1992

I am sure I have seen Ronnie Drew and Barney McKenna of The Dubliners at some stage too.

I saw Crowded House at the Point Theatre at some stage in the early '90s. I'm pretty sure the lineup included their late ex-drummer and founding member Paul Hester.

There is already a thread about this under the music sub-forum:
