The following is a list of all the shows (not counting local shows) I've been to since my first major one in 1999. It's quite a shocker when you see how much my taste in music has evolved. It's even more of a shocker when you see the stance of many of these bands at the time these shows happened, and then their stance now (like many of them opening bands, when they were small, and are now huge). This list will continue to be updated everytime I go to such a big show. Check them all out:
