101 Shows...and more to come!

Not long ago someone mentioned writing out 100 different concerts that they had been to and I thought to myself that I must have been to at least that many by now. I compiled a few posters where I've taped all the tickets from old shows. I uncovered a few in my storage drawers while rummaging through old possessions. I did research on the web to uncover the dates and locations of some of the shows that I only have memories of, but in the end I remembered 101 different shows that I've seen. Another task entirely would be to figure out how many different bands I've seen...probably doubling or tripling what is on this list. There are some four day festivals like Bonnaroo where I've seen as many as 15 - 20 artists within the four day span...but for now this list is an impressive compilation of just some of the fun nights I've spent listening to great music. All this considered, I've spent at least 1.2 percent of my days alive watching music. I like that statistic! And I hope I can continue this trend because I don't know much else that makes a simple man like me happier than the joy of music!
