The Show List
I made this list of shows I’ve been to/bands I’ve seen more for my own record than anything. I tend to forget anything that’s not written down. I know I saw more bands in the 80s than these listed, I just can’t recall them. The recent years (most recent shows are at the bottom) are more accurate, since I started photographing shows. I hope to eventually get a lot of the these shows linked to photos and video clips I took and also reviews I’ve written.
