Very slow year for me (after 36 years for going to concerts, Im getting tired!):

Additions in pink. I ended the year with a bang. Pearl Jam can play with Jay Z ANYTIME. He's awesome, I love him.
I decided I didn't think I would enjoy Jane's Addiction and sold those tickets so I wouldn't feel so sick in the stomach about how much I paid for the Coldplay / Jay Z NYE show (it was worth it).
