The Dead Milkmen, Violent Femmes and They Might Be Giants? I'm jealous!

I can't even remember half the shows I've seen.

[posteverything.livejournal.com]

They Might Be Giants was my very first concert, and probably the most fun I've ever had for the price of a ticket. :)

[just-jenn.livejournal.com]

oh sure. remind me of how much i suck. *wink*

I've been to only a small handful of shows. Embarrasingly small:

Whitney Houston
Kenny G
George Strait
The Judds
Lee Greenwood
The Rolling Stones
Metallica
Candlebox (twice)
Fight
L7

I'm thinking there might be one or two more, but it's late and my brain isn't processing.

And I am an avid music lover. AVID. I'd give just about anything to see Ani DiFranco. When we were living in Italy she played at a local bar and I missed it b/c I was with a newborn. Ho hum. Living there for 4 years didn't allow for many concert going opportunities and then we moved from there to West Texas BFE and once again, concerts do not come our way. Well, unless it's Los Lonely Boys (only b/c they're from here). Hmph. That's it. I'm making it goal to hit at least one concert this year, either in San Antonio or Austin. THAT'S IT!!!

you're so cool

Most people don't even know who the dB's are...

cool list

Hey, not that I don't believe you, but, where/when did you see They Might Be Giants?

[ygolonac.livejournal.com]

Pssh. All those bands are sellouts (except for the Scorpions). I only see bands that less than 6 people (not including the band members or their immediate family) have ever heard of. That's the only way to stay on the cutting edge of coolness.

I'd tell you the names of some of them but then they would be ruined by their success.

Sorry.

The Rolling Stones
Pixies/ The Thrills
The Who
Spin Doctors
Simply Red (twice)
Tom Jones
Huey Lewis and The News
Tom Petty
U2
Roxy Music
Spice Girls (free ticket)
Aja Vu (local cover band of Steely Dan)
Watchtower
Middle-Life Crisis
Cake

In the next six weeks I will see:

I'd trade you a Lollapalooza for that Quiet Riot show. :D

[dietcokehed.livejournal.com]

Should Bug and I list ours? :)

[lcurtis.livejournal.com]

Shows I've seen: The Howdy Doody show, the Ed Sullivan Show, some chick showing her boobs to a side walk preacher at the Chicago Jazz Fest several years ago and one Grateful Dead show. There were several shows in the sixties but I don't remember what they were. I too know who the DBs are, the "Dubious Brothers".

[dietcokehed.livejournal.com]

I just saw that you've seen Jane's twice...was this before the break up? Ya know, when they were still good? :)

You've forgotten the plethora of semi-talented locals in Ft.Wayne at Freiman Square on Sunday nights! Do you even remember the name of one of those bands?

Here's my short and pathetic list:

The Greatful Dead
KD Lang
REO Speedwagon
Elton John

I'm thinking of taking Bobby to see Elmopalooza if it ever gets around here again. Hee!

[ashevillain.livejournal.com]

Your list makes my few concerts seem painfully small..

I would have killed to see the Grateful Dead live before Jerry died.

I've only seen Bob Dylan, Jason Mraz, Aerosmith, and Jewel...
