ARTISTS & BANDS I HAVE SEEN

BACK TO THE MUSIC & CONCERT MEMORABILIA COLLECTION HOMEPAGE

I have ALWAYS wanted to be able to display a listing of bands & artists that I have gotten to see perform live over the years. YES...the list is quite long, and there are undoubtedly ones that I have seen but forgotten about. So...I will list the ones that I remember.

I will attempt to put the number of times that I have seen them. Keep in mind there are some that I have seen so many times that
I cannot remember the EXACT number of times its been....

Again, I encourage each & every one of you...if you get the chance...to go out and see a concert or 2 (or more). It's really easy & best of all....it's exciting too. Better yet....forget the "if you get the chance" part & just GO OUT AND ATTEND ONE. I will admit there is nothing quite like the moment when the lights go out....and the music begins...

And now.....ON with the listing.....
