I still can't find them all after a few days on setlist.fm, but I can list the bands I've seen the most:

1. Pearl Jam (19x)
2. The Black Keys (9x)
3. Dave Matthews Band (9x)
4. The Roots (7x)
5. Michael Franti & Spearhead (5x)

The only show on the horizon that is a definite is the Roots Picnic on April 1st, which I am very excited about - particularly since there will be 2 sets by the Roots in addition to them serving as the backing band for Naughty By Nature (talk about reliving childhood), plus finally getting to see Gary Clark, Jr. Should be fun, though not quite as epic as the last time I went to the Roots Picnic in 2009, whose lineup was The Roots, TV On the Radio, The Black Keys, Public Enemy, Santigold, and Busdriver on the main stage.

so far 86 in setlist.fm, ill try to add them all and post them here. Although some of them are from the same day ( festival ).

Still very happy with the bands i saw through the years and the memories...

03/26/2013 - Sigur Rós, Tim Hecker

I didn't want to do all that work, so i just listed the festival instead of the individual shows at the festivals

yeah i thought about it, but its nice to see the bands listed.

Other than local bands, I saw Superchunk with Versus and Jenny and Johnny (fucking terrible set from these two) at the Troc in Philadelphia.

That's it

OH! And a couple of radio station festivals/events 7-8 years ago. I remember Korn and a lot of flashing. Awful and beautiful, respectively.

I certainly don't see enough Government Mule in people's lists. Folks, GO SEE GOVERNMENT MULE.

I have too many to list and I haven't traveled to setlist.fm yet, but here is my Summer 2006. Having a fulltime job with no wife or kids was where it was at!

5/27/06 - Pearl Jam in Camden, NJ
5/28/06 - Pearl Jam in Camden, NJ (not great shows. not my favorite crowd. The drunk guy next to me screamed with all his might for Red Mosquito for the entirety of MMJ's set. The drunk guys in front me fought over a cowboy hat. Pearl Jam wasn't loud enough. They stopped selling beer before the 10th song of the set )

6/23/06
6/24/06 - Widespread Panic at Red Rocks (beautiful venue. wind fuck's with the sound though. Go down low)

6/29/06
6/30/06
7/01/06 - Widespread Panic at the Wiltern in LA (6/30 and 7/1 broke something in the atmosphere. I thought the balcony was going to pop off from boucing so much.)

3 nights in Joshua Tree National Park. Incredible experience. Jumbo Rocks campsite 87. Do yourself a favor and GO!)

7/7/06 - Pearl Jam in San Diego (Long Road)
7/13/06 - Pearl Jam at Santa Barbara Bowl (acoustic set) 3rd row!
7/18/06 - Pearl Jam in San Francisco (tightest show I've seen)
7/22/06 -
7/23/06 - Pearl Jam at the Gorge (Best two shows I'll see Pearl Jam play. It was like they rewarding the fans that traveled all the way out. Won't Back Down, It's Okay tag, Rats, Satan's Bed, Little Wing, Wash, Dirty Frank......) Drove all the way across country the next 2 days to attend my friends Grandfather's funeral in Morehead Ctiy, NC.

8/1/06
8/2/06 - Widspread Panic at The Palace in Louisville, KY (GREAT venue. Great setlists)

8/6/06 - Widespread Panic at Portsmout, VA

8/7/06 - start coaching Highschool Tennis in CAry, NC, worn out and ready for dead.

Great summer!

I know none of you like Widespread Panic, but I wish Pearl Jam would take a page out of the playbook and set up shop in a city for 2 or 3 nights and refuse torepeat a song. There is no other experience like it.

Killed me to sell my NYEeve tix this year, first NYE gigs I've missed in a while. A fate worse than a fate worse than death is the fact that I'm not hitting up Mountain Jam this year.

Me to. The list looks great, but it is a weekend too early for me. That is the end of exam week for me.

That grunge NYE was something else.

One of my favoirte Mule's was the set with John Paul Jones at Bonnaroo though.

Indeed, I saw 12/27 and 12/30 in 2008. I think my personal favorite set might be 2011-12-31 though there have been so many highlights over the years.

this was looking like it was going to be a down year for Live shows for us, but we just saw Sigur Ros, we are seeing Blues Traveler and 2 PJ shows next month and Dr Dog in November, so it will be another pretty good year of live music, hopefully we can add another show in there somewhere.

When I lived in Colorado, I went to 3-4 concerts a week, especially in the summer. It was just my favorite way to pass the time and tickets for most things were very cheap (mid-to-late 90s). I especially favored shows at Red Rocks, obviously; I went on dates there and would check out acts I knew very little about if I had no other plans and the ticket price was right. Also hit up Fiddler's Green and some of the clubs, too ... Bluebird, Fox, Ogden. Those were good times.

I couldn't even begin to put together a list of all the shows I've seen. I'll catch a song on the radio and suddenly have it come back to me ... oh, I saw these guys live once.
