I'm probably missing a few but I'll try my best to remember.

Slayer
Mastadon
Megadeth
Dio
The Who
The Tragically Hip
Avenged Sevenfold
Lou Gramm (from Foreigner)
Boston
Rush
Roger Waters (from Pink Floyd. Saw him twice. Once doing Dark Side of the Moon and then a few years later doing The Wall)
Santana
The Derek Trucks Band
Mark Knopfler (from Dire Straits)
AC/DC
ZZ Top
The Dixie Chicks
The Eagles
Trooper
Neil Young
Bert Jansch
Heart
Robert Plant (from Led Zeppelin)


I think that's most of them although I've probably forgotton a few.

There are a few interesting shows coming to town in the next few months that I would like to see but I'm on the fence as I'm trying to save money. They are listed below:

The Moody Blues
Randy Bachman and Fred Turner (of Bachman-Turner Overdrive fame, and also from Winnipeg where I live) as well as Paul Rodgers (of Bad Company fame) are doing a show here.
Peter Frampton
Jeff Beck
Roger Daltrey (from The Who)
Gordon Lightfoot

Really showing my age now...

Not a big concert goer, but have seen a few:

KISS (before they were unmasked)
Loverboy (I claim it was to chaperone my baby sister ;p)
The Moody Blues
Chicago
Blood, Sweat and Tears

Such a short list. I need to get out more.

Default Re: Which bands/artists have you seen live?

1. Fastball
2. Sugar Ray --One Concert in the late 90s or early early 2000s. My first concert ever.
3. Goo Goo Dolls

4. Britney Spears. - .... Don't even ask. My sister was going when she was really young, and I kinda liked Britney Spears when I was at that age too, so I tagged along. Early 2000s.

5. The Raconteurs
6. Bob Dylan - Raconteurs opened for Bob Dylan in 2004. Fucking amazing.

(The next few concerts may be mixed up chronologically, but myah.)

7.The Stray Cats
8.The Pretenders -- One concert with my mom and my uncle and aunt in 2006 or 2007?
9. ZZ Top

10. Pearl Jam - Madison Square Garden in 2008. Uhmazing. Didn't really get to see the opening band which was Ted Leo and the Pharmacists.

11. Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - 2008, At GradNite in Disney World, whilst on my Senior Trip. They played a concert along with a few other bands/rappers, but they were the only ones I cared for seeing.

12. Stone Temple Pilots - 2008. Fucking amazing again. (I was supposed to see Alice in Chains this summer too, but I missed out )

Then I went to college for a year and didn't really do much. Then I was home working for a year and didn't really do much. Then I moved to California. ( I May have missed listing one or two shows here, I can't remember at this point xD)

13. Rush - 2011. One of the best concerts I've ever been to ever. If not the best. I went with Jesse (Kettlkorn) and that was after flying to Ohio, basically the 2nd time I got to see him. So it was pretty special

14. Red Bacteria Vacuum - Opened for A Perfect Circle. Fucking crazy little Japanese girls. xD
15. A Perfect Circle - 2011. Even though I just said Rush was one of the best concerts I've been to, A Perfect Circle for me topped the shit out of it. I got to see Maynard James Keenan with my own eyes only 40 or so feet ahead of me. They sounded fucking perfect. Went with one of my bosses from work (because she's amazing <3) and Jesse And I got to hear Maynard say "Whale's Vagina" a bunch of times in reference to San Diego xD

There will be many more in the near future
I wanted to go to Peter Frampton, but financial problems missed that one out.

I AIM TO SEE TOOL IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS SO THEY BETTER FUCKIN TOUR.

I wouldn't know where to start the list from, nor whether i'd even be able to finish. I've been gigging as often as possible since my first ever proper concert at the age of 16, which was Tool. I must have seen a hundred bands or more.
