A Concert Meme
Ok, so for some reason, I have really wanted to do this; more for my own reference than anything.
Here is my concert list. These are bands/artists (of consequence) I have seen, broken into categories of "went to see them", "had to see them thanks to radio gig" and "played a show with them." If I can remember, I will add what tour the band was on at the time. I'll add more as I remember.
It all began in 1993...
