I'm 25 now, and have been going to shows for about 10 years. Pretty much exclusively small bands, in bars, halls etc. I once tried to figure out how many bands I've seen, and gave up once the list was over 100. Rough guess, I've probably seen over 500 live bands, cause I'm sure I've been to 150 shows, and some of them were fests.
All in all, I'm surprised I have any hearing left in my ears.
Bren. Did you see The Misfits (ie, with Danzig), or the current fake Misfits? Because if you saw them with Danzig I'm jealous.

The fakest of the fake... Doyle, Jerry, Dr. Chud and no singer because Michael Graves didn't show up for the Canadian tour.
Jerry took most of the vocals, with the opening band singer doing some.

Here's an open question to all of Y'all who have seen and heard so many more multiples of the live bands than I've managed to experience in my short lifetime:
You've listened to all these groups......live.....and now you own Axioms.
Are your Axioms doing an acceptable job of sonically reproducing these live events?
(especially you guys who listen thru M3s, M40s or M50s)

Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?

Jason, you forgot the Philadelphia Orchestra.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

True...that is a different type of concert, so I wasn't even thinking along those lines.
I forgot the Gin Blossoms as well...they came to play at my college and sounded awful.

Interesting opportunity to reflect:
"Grad Nights" at Walt Disney World:
Police
Gloria Gaynor
KC and the Sunshine Band
A bunch of other 1-hit wonders of the late 70's that I can't think of right now.
Some of the following (located mostly at or near the bottom of the list) were not initiated by me but I regret to admit that I did attend...
Springsteen (best show ever)
Rolling Stones X 2
The Who
B-52's
Henry Paul Band
AC/DC
Van Halen
U2
Billy Joel
Elton John
Chick Corea
Moody Blues
Hank Williams, Jr.
The Spinners
Sawyer Brown (in a guy's back yard - they used to provide free beer so some of us would listen to them before they were ready to play in local clubs)
Willie Nelson
Reba McIntyre
Rascal Flatts
Wierd Al Yankovich
Pavarotti
The Jacksons
Rod Stewart
Bette Midler
Cher

You reminded me...I saw Wierd Al as well...
I've been around but I ain't ever seen, a guy who looks like a muppet but he's wrinkled and green. Oh my Yoda.

There is no way I could remember all the concerts I've been to.
Boston was the first. Sept. 27, 1979. Sammy Hagar opened for them.
The most memorable would have to be Pink Floyd (Momentary Lapse Of Reason) in the 80s. I saw the same show twice, one month apart.
All and all, I would say that I've been to over 150 "big name" concerts.
LIFE IS SHORT. DON'T BE A DICK.
