Off the top of my head, just one act per letter. Followed my record shelf rules - disregard “The”, solo artists classified by last name unless they go by a stage name. I counted festival or opening sets as long as I actually watched them. 

Not surprised that I couldn’t come up with Q, X or Z, but a little surprised that I couldn’t think of an E. I spent more than a minute considering whether I could file Bruce under “E” but decided I can’t in good conscience.

Not sure if Y was a stretch, because I managed to do the whole rest of the list on first letter of the band name, and the only other time I used a solo artists name was Ozzy, who has the same letter for first/last name. Keeping with my own scoring system of using the artists first letter of their last name, I can do it

I’m always in awe / sickeningly jealous that you can count Buffalo Springfield and Jimi Hendrix among your list of shows Brian
