Concerts

The D Man has attended over 100 shows, likely passing the century mark in the last year or two.  In an attempt to capture every show from memory, I have listed them here, undoubtedly missing a few.  Countless opening bands are not included, so a few noteworthy performances go unacknowledged.  If I have seen a band more than once, I have included the number in parenthesis.  If I have seen the band outside the Beehive State, I have noted the location.

Truth is, looking at the list, I have mostly seen everyone that I love (and that I had a realistic chance of catching).  My glaring omission is Radiohead.  To be rectified someday.  Sigur Ros, M83, Jens Lekman, Twin Shadow, and Wild Nothing are also on my "must see" short list.  Fortunately, I will be enjoying Destroyer and Mew this October!  A few embarassments sprinkle the list, of course.  You decide.  But Britney Spears is not one of them.
