Nice list, Michael. I'm only slightly jealous.
I had a relatively quiet 2014 gigwise and here are my highlights in chronological order.
Joe Bonamassa, Aerosmith, Thunder & Richie Sambora at Calling Festival, Clapham in the company of Michael (at the front, of course)
Govt Mule x 2 at Brooklyn Bowl (with Mr Curryman, Ian916 and his son, Will on the first night and his wife on the second)
Aynsley Lister at NewCrawdaddy Blues Club, Billericay (15 years and a lot of gigs since I first saw Aynsley)
Virgil and the Accelerators at The Borderline, London (album launch with more Gig Buddies than I can remember) Virgil tore the place up 
Beth Hart, Robert Cray, The Hoax, Q&A with Marcus Bonfanti and Jon Allen all on the same day as part of the RAH Bluesfest - what a fab day (with Curryman, Pete, Kenny, Maggie, Lydia and Roger)
The best gigs are undoubtedly those shared with the friends made on this Forum.

I'll have to agree Wooders.
Blackberry Smoke-twice- once in New Hampshire and once in Maine. Absolute great live and like Joe always touring!!
Joe-New Hampshire-not as big of a fan of this venue as others but a little Joe makes everything better!!
Anthony Gomes-Rhode Island-Anthony is just pure fun and energy-probably have been to 5 or 6 shows!!
Robert Cray/John Hiatt-Maine-This was the best co-headliner show I had ever seen. Great respect for both!!
Keb Mo-Maine-Not my usual but he is one hell of an entertainer!!
Wow. Just 5? (I had a big year - again )
In a year where for the interest of the forumites here, I got to see Joe, Govt Mule and the Dave Matthews Band all of which were brilliant, my top 5 were:
The Rolling Stones - Hope Estate, Hunter Valley
Queen + Adam Lambert - Allphones Area, Sydney
The White Album Concert (4 different Australian singers and 34 piece band / orchestra) - Sydney Opera House
Jimmy Barnes, playing two of his early albums (For The Working Class Man, Freight Train Heart) beginning to end - Enmore Theatre Sydney
The Delta Riggs (my favourite "new" band), playing their new album Dipz Zebazios in it's entirety on the day of it's release - Fitzroy Workers Club, Melbourne. (Well worth travelling for!)
Special mention to two of my heroes, Deniz Tek (founder / guitarist from cult legend Australian band Radio Birdman) and Don Walker (piano, brilliant songwriter from Jimmy Barnes original band, Cold Chisel) each doing intimate acoustic shows in 50-80 seat rooms.
Joe B. at the Verizon Dallas
Alter Bridge at HOB Dallas
Winery Dogs at Granada Dallas
