One of the things I will recount on this blog will be trips built around concerts – Kristen and I love concerts, and since I was about 10 or 12 I’ve been spending good money (and sometimes bad) on all kinds of music. I have tried over time to keep track and fill in the gaps as I remember – the internet has helped – and I decided to memorialize the list on the blog where it won’t get lost! So here it is – with years each was seen where I can pin it down…
