Renee Fleming - Premier of Susannah
DMB- small bar in Virginia
Robyn Hitcock - Metro
Nillson - Beatles fest chicago
Beastie Boys License to Ill tour
Nathan Gunn - Selections from Fledermaus in concert


So many more...

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Hundreds. Most of the interesting ones were punk bands in the 1980s - Minneapolis had one of the best punk scenes in the US in those days, and I went to 1-2 all-ages shows every week. In high school alone I probably saw 400 bands, including pretty much all the influential punk bands from that era.

A few highlights:

- First concert was Elvis Costello at some civic auditorium on Cape Cod when I was 11.
- Saw the Who farewell tour in 1982 when I was 12.
- First saw Husker Du play at a basement party my sister took me to when I was 12.
- Saw the Police's final tour (at least for many years) in 1983 when I was 13.
- Saw an early Flaming Lips show in about 1985, with just a couple of hundred people in attendance.
- Saw the Pogues, at the height of their powers, in about 1989 at a small ballroom in NYC.
- Saw the Stiff Little Fingers reunion tour in NYC in about 1989 (not a great show, but a great thing to have seen).
- Saw the Roger Waters The Wall show on the Berlin Wall in 1990.
- Saw Radiohead at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in SF on the OK Computer tour in 1997. Opening act was Spiritualized.

 

[SaDiZTiKStyLeZ]

I've been to many more but who really cares, you know what I'm sayin'?

Point of thread then? Fuck you. That's why.

 

[yllus]

Dozens but not hundreds. Still try to see one new band a month but have dropped off lately. Next up is Penguin Prison.

Ok, I gave my list a shot. There are certainly a ton I've missed, and it should go without saying that I've seen several of these more than once, some many more than once.

...
The Doors
...
