Twelve years ago (1996 Freedom Festival), I saw them for free in Windsor in a park on the Detroit River.
 
Kamelot - The Black Halo (and just about everything else written by them)

Iron Maiden - Brave New World

Sonata Arctica - Winterheart's Guild

Gamma Ray - No World Order
 
The Clash-The Clash
Joy Division-Unknown Pleasures
The Bats-Daddy's Highway
They Might be Giants-Flood (but last year's "The Else" might just take over)
Big Black-Poor man's 8-track tape
Glen Gould playing JS Bach's Goldberg Variations (1961 recording)
Bob Dylan-pick one of his first three albums...hmm... OK, Highway 61 revisited
Greg Brown-Dream Cafe
Sex Pistols-Nevermind the Bollocks
Nirvana-Nevermind
Pixies-any album
The Specials-The Specials
The Chills-Submarine Bells

This could go on all day!
 
Easy:

Wire - pink flag
Bob Dylan - bringing it all back home
