Concertino
After attending 3 different concerts last week, I thought it would be cool to make a list of all of the bands/artists that I have seen in concert. Yes, I am ashamed of a few, but I also didn’t realize just how many bands I have seen live. Oh, and I’m not counting bands I have seen on the summerfest grounds (with the exception of the Amphitheater). And obviously, just the “big” bands. (Sorry, Love Monkeys, you don’t count… yet).
Sixpence None the Richer (my 1st concert ever… what better place to go than the Rave!)
Counting Crows
Great Big Sea
Coldplay
Gaelic Storm
Pat McCurdy (ok, maybe he’s not big, but I’ve seen him a million times so he makes my list)
John Mayer
U2
Dave Matthews Band
Jimmy Buffett
Dixie Chicks
Billy Joel/Elton John
Uncle Cracker
What about all of you? What concerts have you seen? Is there anyone you wanted to see and is no longer touring and now you’re kicking yourself for not going when you could have? (For example, Garth Brooks!)
It makes me sad like this
that Collective Soul isn’t on that list. You should really go with me next time they’re here (August 11 at State Fair)

It makes me sad that One Ton Bananaa didn’t count.

This will date me but here it goes:
Grateful Dead
Lollapalooza ‘92, ‘93, ‘94
Rush
Tesla
U2
Public Enemy/Anthrax
Nine Inch Nails
The Spin Doctors (THAT’S embarassing)
Live
Pearl Jam
Local H
The Bravery
White Stripes
Pixies/Weezer
I wish I had seen Jane’s Addiction in their prime, they were my favorite
band for quite a while but I missed the boat on the first Lollapalooza.
They broke up right after that.

Best concert I ever attened was Aretha Franklin at state fair park. There were only about 200 people, and I sat 10 rows from the stage. It was great, until she brought her son out on stage to sing some lame hip hop POS.
