My Concerts

For those of you who are interested, here's a complete list of every concert I've attended from 1976 to today, many of which I've written about, and posted recordings from, in this blog.  I've seen shows everywhere from the largest out door stadiums to the smallest dive bars.  I've been in venues with perfect acoustics to some with sound worse than a wind tunnel.   I've seen bands ranging from the legends of rock and roll to one hit wonders.  It's been quite the long strange trip, especially given the number of Grateful Dead shows along the way!  Enjoy!
