I’m pretty sure I’m missing some. There was two periods in my lifetime that I went to rock shows every weekend (1983 in high school and 1987 in college) and many of those shows found me either too drunk to clearly recall the experience or too high on pharmacuetical grade narcotics to understand what I was seeing. Ahhh youth… it is wasted on the young.
HOLY Crap! That’s a hell of a lot of concerts, e. What is the deal with oingo boing 35 times? Are they really that good? Some of these I’ve never heard of. But I can’t tell you what I’d give to see Van Halen or AC/DC in concert – and BILLY IDOL. I love Billy Idol. When I was a kid I had 100s of posters of Billy Idol. Wow I’m jealous. I am an old lady who’s led a dull life.
Dang E, you’ve been to some awesome shows. The Fixx? The Police? Love & Rockets? The Smiths? Travis????
Jealous.
