A "gig" is a booking for musicians, a bit of work for them, a job. Doing gigs is something performers do, not the audience. People don't go to gigs. Musicians go to gigs. People go to shows.
Really? Is that the case in the US? That's interesting. In NZ it's very common to say: "I went to a gig". In the Concise Oxford it says: "gig n. a live performance by a musician or other performer". Also, in NZ, if you went to see a band play at a pub you wouldn't say: "I went to a show".
I've never once heard "gig" used that way. The only people I've heard say they were going to a gig were the performers. Going to a show implies a concert rather than merely hearing a band at a pub, though. In that case, you'd just say you were going to the pub to hear XX band.
Silly Amerikan fools! You can not even use of the english language well. It is without contest a gig. A show is like cabaret or theatre play or some such thing. Amerikans! Pretkatchikan!
Thats good music, well at least Tina, MJ and Bryan Adams as far as I know! You don't know Roxette do you? Had a good time in that time, the 80's/90's.

Now that I think about it, we don't call them pubs, either. We'd be going to the bar to hear the band.

Those things are called dialects, things differ. Every English speaking country has their own. So chill with anti-americanism.

Adding a noun to "I went to a live" would work, as well. "I went to a live show" or "a live performance".

I went to a show. That's common in the US for a small performance.

I was going to suggest "show" as well.
