Wheatus

Kings of Leon
The Feeling

I've listed particularly big support bands as I've seen them, even if they were only playing small set lists. I should be going to Reading festival this year, so I can add a lot of much better bands to that list.
 
In terms of smaller bands:
Apostle of Hustle
Young Galaxy
Most Serene Republic
Rx Bandits
Jason Collett
Dala
The Spades
Hey Rosetta!

And then dozens of small bands and local bands, most of whom I cannot remember anyway. :)

Another ptbo band, my ex-drummer is related to their drummer.


this is no way a complete list but here's a few that stick out:

City and Colour
Craig Cardiff x6? maybe more

And several more. I've been to a few festivals, and Rivers and Spires twice, so a lot of this came from the festivals.
 
I'm only 31, but I'd guess that I see, on average, somewhere in the ballpark of 30 or 40 bands or so a month. So, even if I could theoretically remember them all (which I absolutely could not), I wouldn't want to spent the time typing them all out.
 
Tangier (played same festival)
Great White
Badlands
Tesla
King's X
Billy Squire
Jackyl
Aerosmith
Neal Young (Further Fest)
Jethro Tull

Kiss (first year reunited)

Brian Howe
Mark Farner (opened for him. does that count?)

Wow! I didn't realize how many bands I'd seen until I listed them all! Almost all of them were in the 1970s. The last three are the last bands I've seen, just in the last few years. I only saw a couple of them in the 80s, and none in the 90s, since I was too busy raising a family.
 
+1

However, I do have a few hundred ticket stubs and passes at home that I keep telling myself I'm going to stick in an album one day.

The guitarist in our band built a bar in his basement, and has saved EVERY concert ticket stub since he was 16 (now mid-40s). He has them organized chronologically, in envelopes by year. The plan is to make them the bar top (under a large sheet of plexiglass), so folks can have a look. It is an awesome idea. For the most part, there is a story for each one, which is pretty cool to hear (mostly the same, but still fun).
 
I can't remember all of them, but here's some highlights...

The Decemberists
Old 97's
Death Cab For Cutie
Silverson Pickups
Tegan and Sarah
