Artists/Bands I've Seen Live

This is an almost complete list of all the bands and artists I've seen in concert. In order (except for most festivals).
Some things to keep in mind: (1) there were several opening acts and bands that I caught in my early years that I completely forgot if I've seen them or not; (2) not included are those that took part in a "Superjam" (Bonnaroo-style) or guest artists (unless they played the majority of the set with the artist/band), and (3) I have included such cases in which I have seen both the band and its spinoff solo act separate times (examples: Rob Thomas and Matchbox Twenty, Steve Ewing and The Urge)

No, this was not all done by memory. A huge part of it went to setlist.fm, plus I have saved several of my old ticket stubs.

    Main stage at Ozzfest 2004. Perhaps the highlight was watching their crackheaded fans go crazy. And of course watching the lead singer yell at the top of his lungs
