There's a list going around Facebook to name 50 bands you've seen in concert. I started at fifty, then quickly recalled another fifty, then found the list shooting past 150....As an exercise in memory I just kept going. This list below is not fabricated. I kind of wish it was. I'd have a lot more money. I also didn't include many local bands or friends bands (too many to count), but ones that would be recognizable to others, worth remembering, etc.....Right Now, this is as many as I can remember. I feel slightly proud and lucky to have had these experiences, for better or worse.
Test your memory and your love of live music by listing 50 artists or bands (or as many as you can remember) you've seen in concert. List the first 50 acts that come into your head. An act you saw at a festival and opening acts count, but only if you can't think of 50 other artists. Oh, and list the first concert you ever saw (you can remember that, can’t you)?
