How in the fuck do you guys remember the DATES? I didn't save most of my ticket stubs from back in the day so I'd have no idea. My first concert was Bon Jovi/Cinderella in the summer of 1986 at the Philly Spectrum, but from then on it's a blur. Should I still attempt a list of bands I've seen (without dates)?
 
That's pretty much what I did on the original post. Even better, there was NO order to it at all! :D I'll repost...
I can remember what "tour" it was, but not the exact dates...

All the tours i've seen, the name of the headliner I used for tour.
 
I've been pretty bad at keeping track. I remember my first concert was Paula Abdul!!!!! Color Me Badd opened. Think that was 1991 I would have been 9. Second concert I remember attending was Janet Jackson w/ Tony, Toni, Tone in 1993.
I've probably averaged about 7 shows a year for 5 years now. Before then maybe 2 a year.

Okay, I'm throwing in the towel for now - but I'll add more when they come to me or I figure out what year they happened, like Iron Maiden/Queensryche/Halford, Iced Earth/Megadeth, and Queensryche/Dream Theater/Fates Warning - I know I was there, but I can't remember what year.. I'm sure some of these are wrong anyway :lol:

When was that Silent Force show in Pittsburgh?
 
Oh damn, it was back around 2000-2001. DC Cooper is from Pittsburgh and there was an outfit down there trying to put together a festival type setting for the first time. There was all kinds of trouble (with the venue as I recall) but the show came off with about 30 people there (many in DC's family). Needless to say, the "festival" was a 1 time thing.

I have some pics that maybe have the date on the back so I'll check that out when I get home tonight.

*just looked online, it says 5/19/01. That sounds correct to me.
