This is a list of most of the concerts I've attended over the years. It is still somewhat incomplete as far as opening bands go, but I'll do my best to recover what information I can. I'm sure I've lost a few ticket stubs, and I haven't put in any of the free concerts I've seen, but this should give you a pretty good idea of what kind of bands I enjoy listening to live.
