WELCOME TO THE CONCERT LIST
This page chronicles every concert, show, performance, appearance, band, artist, and musician I have seen, starting with my first concert in high school. I may have forgotten some shows, and I may have seen some bands more times than I listed here. The list is mostly in chronological order with exception to my time in college and law school, when I didn't keep track of when every show took place.
