Life list

I've been inspired (by this guy) to compile a list of all the bands I've seen. I'm kind of surprised at the total (124 so far), but I chalk it up to the fact that I did a lot of time at festivals, especially Bumbershoot, back when I was a whippersnapper. I tried to just list "national" acts...

P.S. I've now spent way too much time on this. I'm beyond inspired and smack-dab in the middle of obsession. I added as many venues and dates as I could remember, and bolded the folks I've seen more than five times. Must ... stop ...
