These are all bands that I have been fortunate enough to see live in concert. I have some all time favorites that would surely be on this list if I had ever been lucky enough to attend one of their shows (Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Radiohead to name a few). I hope you enjoy the list and encourage you to post your own. Without further ado...

    I saw As Tall As Lions open for Cold War Kids and I gotta say they kicked some serious ass. Their bassist is one helluva showman

    In no particular order but shows I have actually been to
    1. Pearl Jam
    2. Grateful Dead
    3. David Bowie
    4. Roger Waters with Clapton
    5. Wilco
    6. MMJ
    7. Rolling Stones
    8. Rush
    9. Radiohead
    10. The Who

    Never really liked Bruce's music, so I cant add him.
    Zep and Floyd stopped touring about a year before I started seeing shows.
    I like some Queen and Kiss but not enough to go to one of their shows.
    U2, Van Halen (original line up), AC/DC and REM get honorable mentions.
