I love concerts. Yes. This post is a compilation of all of the shows I have been to over the years. They're not in chronological order until around 2006, when I first made up this list.
The band that appears the most times is The Tragically Hip- 14 shows. Three Days Grace is there 10 times. Big Sugar, Finger Eleven, Thornley/Big Wreck, and The Trews are there 8 times.Wide Mouth Mason 7 times. Disturbed, 54-40, Keane, and Theory Of A Deadman are there 6 times. Barenaked Ladies, Default, I Mother Earth, Our Lady Peace, and The Tea Party are there 5 times. Those are the ones I have seen the most.
I've often wished I had written reviews of each show, but alas...
My criteria of a 'concert' consists of actually seeing the band performing onstage. For example, The Commodores are on the list because we saw them doing soundcheck for a concert to be held that evening. but we didn't go to the concert itself. If I could hear the band onstage in the distance, but didn't see them, that doesn't count. In the case of the festivals, this happened a lot. Also included are shopping mall autograph signings with a few songs being performed. As well as local bands playing in bars. I haven't included the 2 times where I was present for filming of music videos- even though the band was filming performance scenes. (And yes, as an extra, I did get screen time in the video of Three Days Grace "I Hate Everything About You" heehee) But, no screen time in their "Just Like You" video... :(
