Grunge Forum

There was a time where I could list every band I've ever seen off the top of my head...that included openers and locals....there was a time I could list off the song title of every song on every tape I owned.....now the best I can do is name ever person I've ever been in a band with. I use to write in a calendar every show I went to with all the band names....i really wish I kept that up. Back then I'd go to about 30 shows a year (mostly $5 local shows which were always the best)....... so yeah I can't really contribute here without taking a month off work to figure out a partial list.

Alphabetical order. Support acts, and artists I saw as parts of full festivals included.

I nearly saw Living Colour a few days after Kiss... and I am regretful for not going to more concerts while I had the freedom
The venues near my home are notoriously lacklustre so I avoid them generally
I would have seen both Pearl Jam and Pixies, because I would have returned to Hyde Park were it not for this horrid virus

EDIT: first post-covid gigs.
EDIT: Again Manics
EDIT: JST

EDIT: Seen Deep Purple and Blue Oyster Cult.
