Concert List

I was looking through some old journals and I remembered how often I used to go to concerts. I loved concerts. I've survived my share of mosh pits, and I have successfully crowd-surfed multiple times.
This might come as news to some people, as getting married and having babies has tamed me quite a bit.
Anyway, I thought I would throw together a list of bands I've seen in concert just for funsies.

But there are some disclaimers about the list.
1st: It does not include 100% of bands I have seen, I can't remember them all. For example who opened for the Aquabats? I think it might have been the Rx Bandits, but since I'm not sure I'm not listing them as a band I've seen. So there are numerous opening acts that I have SEEN in concert but are not listed here.
2nd: I don't like 100% of bands listed here. For example: Britney Spears, a friend of mine was given tickets for her birthday and had just had a falling out with several of her closest friends. I was her only option so she took me- I had a good time even though Miss Spears lacks vocal talent.
3rd: There are several bands here that I saw before I truly appreciated their music. I'm a bigger fan now and wish I could see them again. Examples: Weezer and Coheed and Cambria
4th: Most bands I've only seen in concert once. The stars (*) are show bands that I have seen multiple times. Each star equals one concert

The best story I have about these concerts is the 2nd time I saw Mink Rebellion. At the end of their set they said they would come out and sign stuff for everyone (the singer signed the back of my shirt) My friend Nicole and I went near the stage to ask where they would go to do the signing. Nicole asked the drummer, who turned to me and said "whoa, I went to school with you" I said something brilliant like "ummm, really?" He took off his sunglasses and sure enough it was David Hubbard who I went to High school with. But what really makes that fabulous is that it was the second time I saw them in concert, I had also seen his former band (Greeley Estates) in concert and not known he was the drummer, and I had a picture of him (and the band) on my wall for a month because of this calendar I had. I didn't even realize it was David looking at me from the collage of band pictures.
Anyway, there's a little piece of my past for anyone who is interested.
