I'm probably leaving out a lot of really solid bands but thats all I can think of right now.
 
I can post a list - I haven't been to too many yet. However, I will only be including 'big' bands, rather than a comprehensive list of every unsigned band I have ever seen.

The Cribs
Orson
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Dirty Pretty Things
Muse
Reel Big Fish x2
Streetlight Manifesto
Kyle Eastwood

The Vibrators

I think that's all. If you really wanted I could try to remember all of the unsigned bands that I have seen as well, but there are quite a lot.
That's why I said 'notable bands' :p I'm not even going to try and name all the smaller and unsigned bands I've seen :p
 
Let me see what I can remember. I'll only list bands that actually have/had a career.

Haven't been to terribly many concerts so far, but hopefully that'll change..

Van Halen (with Sammy Hagar)
Van Halen (With David Lee Roth)
Trans-Siberian Orchestra
REO Speedwagon
And several local bands

So, I can add Rush to that list as of last night. It was an absolutely amazing show, but I didn't get home until well into this morning, and I had to get up at 6:00 to take finals.. And now I feel like I've been hit by a truck. But it was TOTALLY WORTH IT! :cool:
 
You are so lucky I keep all my ticket stubs. And I at one point made up a list. I haven't updated it in a couple years.

It's interesting, I look at this list (which includes date & place) and see my whole life story. I guess others wouldn't quite see my story in my list, but still may be interested.

Don't mean to be mean, but you missed out! It was the best gig i have been to - truely amazing. I started out on the fourth row, and I was on the second row by the end - two metres away from Matt Bellamy. There is actually a video on Youtube of that gig where you can see me in the crowd.

Im watching videos of it now....Amazing. Those are the only words for it! I really regret that decision!
 
I guess this thread is better for the 15-30 year old people here :p

Hell, I'm 19, and I can't remember quite a number. And I rarely go to shows I'm not playing at. And I see an ungodly number of bands I really dislike. Short, very non-thorough list off the top of my head, and this is just band-oriented stuff, not orchestras and other ensembles, and leaves out people I've seen and didn't know who they were, and some people I just repressed because they were so horrible (stars next to some of the better ones live):

THey're awesome :bassist:

I think Dog Fashion Disco is done for, but I saw them a few times in a little bar in Va Beach called Connie's (also no longer). It was when Embryos in Bloom was fresh. I still have my copy of that CD.

A band I was in ran sound and shows at Connies. Lot's of locals, we'd play on occasion and we'd bring in some regional acts and pack the house. I love DFD. Of all the bands that played that little bar; they blew me away.
