Great list! I envy your Keane concert… Hopes and Fears was the soundtrack to a poignant time in my life. My best concert was probably Patty Griffin in 2005 at a relatively small venue. Her voice, the lyrics, the intimacy—it was transcendent.
I don't know enough about concerts and concert history. I love the Keane flashback, and I love me some Jack Johnson, Chili Peppers, and had many an Enya CD in high school (really). I've always been interested in being there during the conversation where bands settled on their name. Just hanging out, observing, and realizing how they landed on Hootie and the Blowfish or the Goo Goo Dolls or A Tribe Called Quest. Those seem like fun stories.

I love Patty Griffin’s voice! A smaller venue is probably best for her sound. I bet it was an incredible experience!

90s bands had the best (and most unusual) names! Sounds like you had a great CD collection.
