Post your 'Seen artists/bands' List!

At 42, I stopped counting about 20 years ago. As some above have mentioned, I've probably forgotten more than I remember. Stopped keeping stubs years ago too, but still buy the odd bit of merch (although it's now all L instead of S )

However, standout shows include Meshuggah, NoMeansNo, Coroner, Dillinger, Primus, Metallica (in about '85 in front of 100 people!), Nick Cave, John Renbourn, Slayer (in the early days), Sacred Reich, Death, Aimee Mann, Stevie Wonder, Neil Diamond, Bob Dylan, Queen Adreena....dammit I've started doing what I tried not to do, so I'll quit now.

 

[Funky Ghost]

I was taken to a concert by my aunt to see Exile when I was a kid (who I liked actually, I tripped out on the two drummers on stage) The opening act? Leif Garrett . . .

I made up for that by seeing a ton of great acts too numerous to list.

Highlights though, would be

Journey BEFORE Steve Perry (they were pretty amazing actually)
The Police with Santana (Sting played with Carlos for a few songs, it was pretty epic)
Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble (instantly became my favorite guitar player)
The Scorpions concert that was so loud it made the plaster from the ceiling and walls of the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium crumble and fall causing it to be closed for years.
