Bands/Artists I have seen perform:
Recently I was in the car riding home from our vacation in Deer Isle, ME. It is a 5+ hour ride and I decided to start listing on my Blackberry all the concerts I have seen over the years. After racking my brain to remember some of those concerts, I turned on the Sirius in the car and started scanning channels for artists to see if it sparked anything I had forgotten.
So here is my list, I am sure it is missing some. I only chose national acts to list. No particular order.
