To the best of your ability, and in no particular order, name every band or performer you've ever seen in concert.
I'll start:
I do a lot of concert photography, so I was able to go back through my hard drives and see who I've photographed over the years. Those bands listed with an asterisk are shows I photographed, either for a publication, as tour photographer (which was the case for Barenaked Ladies and Goo Goo Dolls), or as a house photographer. I'm sure there are some bands I didn't shoot, but saw in concert, and just don't recall the show. I'll add more if I remember them. Unfortunately, many of the concert photos from when I lived in San Diego were lost when I moved from Portland, Oregon to St. Augustine, Florida. If anyone wants to see some, I'll oblige where I can.
Anyway, there 'tis for me.
What's yours?
