Well considering I only went to one show, which was the Revesby one in June, I don't have many memories or moments, etc to choose from. But anyway...
Favourite Song Performance: I really enjoyed Wild World, it was so much fun. Damien divided us into two teams to sing the guitar parts, which was cool, because we got to hear the guitar parts over and over again, and I love those guitar parts. 
We (as in me and the people at my table) were on Damien's team and we won. 
Favourite Amazing Vocal moment: The reeeeeeally high notes in Wicked Game were AMAZING. 
I loved how Damien took a run up each time he sang one. 
Also, my Mum and I both thought Eric's train noises were so COOL. Afterwards we were both like "How did he do that?!" 
Favourite "Goosebump" magical moment: I'm going to copy and paste a quote from my concert report: "...All throughout the concert, I was thinking how cool it was that Damien could just stand there and sing so well, seemingly effortlessly. 
(At other times during the concert I just sat there looking at him and thinking "Wow, he's so good looking!" 
)" So my goosebump moments were whenever those thoughts popped into my head, and they usually occurred during high notes and other favourite parts of songs.
Favourite Musical Arrangement of a song: Can't decide out of Hallelujah and Beautiful, I just loved the new arrangements so much, and even though I had heard both songs live before, they were new and different, and so funtarstic.
Favourite Instrumental moment by one of the band (eg a solo, or your fav instrument in a song perhaps): I can't remember if it was just Eric playing or whether Jimmy and/or Damien were also doing it, but I really liked the Sleepwalk part during Hallelujah. Also, the new bits in Beautiful, with Indi on violin. 
Favourite Onstage Moment (laughs, banter etc): Damien must be so funny to hang out with, because he just kept doing and saying the funniest things. Except that some of the things weren't even funny, it's just the way he said it. For example, when he was dancing around the stage, he suddenly stopped, bent down and said "Hey look! Someone's lost 40 cents!" And another time he randomly said "Oh no, my shoelace is undone!" which wouldn't normally be very funny, but people laughed. There was also the usual undies joke - Jimmy had some undies on his mic stand and Damien said something like "They're too small for me, but for a normal sized man they'd be too big." 
Then Jimmy said "Damien, you're meant to wear them this way!" and held them up with the small bit facing the front.
Favourite Outfit worn by teh Idol: Lol, I had to check my photos because I couldn't remember what he wore. 
It was the black jacket (not leather) with black pants (jeans?) and black shirt. It looked quite nice , but I prefer some of the outfits that he wore at other concerts. 
Favourite Hawtness moment: EVERYTHING was a hawtness moment when Damien was on the stage! Before he sang Father And Son, Damien described himself as "ruggedly handsome with beautiful pearly white teeth". And I thought, "glad he's finally realised".
Favourite Seating (supper club, outdoors or theatre style): Well I was sitting in the front row for the first time, and I went even closer during the encore, so that was cool.
Favourite Overall Show Experience: Having coffee with Jimmy and the Damienites afterwards was pretty cool, because I had never been to a "real life Hut" before.

I love reading your memories Spud, that was great!! Ahhhhh & so sweet, I think most of us here have found ourselves just floating off at times (or, even, the whole time 
task has made me procrastinate about attempting it, but reading Krissy’s and Spud’s responses, in particular, has reminded me of the wonderful joy of attending these gigs with friends.
