The (Almost) Complete Concert List

I like lists. I like to document stuff. In the past year or so, I've used setlist.fm to double-check the setlists I post here, or add them there for others. That's led to adding all the concerts I can remember going to.

There are a couple of concerts that I can't add, because I can't (yet!) verify the actual date of the concert, but it's pretty close to complete. The different acts in festivals and as opening bands make it look like more concerts than I've been to, but by my own math, I've seen at least 61 concerts. Not bad.

If I'm not sure I saw it, I've left it off, like was I at that Tears for Fears concert in 1985 at the Lethbridge Sportsplex or am I just remembering my brother's photos? Not sure.

This weekend, I dug out an old diary that had a lot of exact dates of concerts, so I could finally add most of the early missing concerts that had been bugging me. Pleased as I am with the setlist.fm list, it struck me that losing it would be a blow, and a major pain to reproduce, so I'm reproducing it here now, as a back up...
