U2start.com | Artists/Bands you've seen live in concert so far

My experiences:

1. Julian Lennon (First concert ever, what a thrill it was.)
2. "Weird Al" Yankovic (Still one of the greatest live performers ever.)
3. Backstreet Boys (Don't mock me, they were great and you know it.)
4. David Byrne (Became a Talking Heads fan in middle school, what was wrong with me?)
5 & 7. Paul McCartney (Dreams do come true. I saw him with my mom the first time and my dad the second.)
6 & 8. Barenaked Ladies (The first of these concerts I got to go onstage and hug Kevin Hearn to an ovation from the audience. I can elaborate later if you want.)
9. Bob Dylan (Didn't know how to approach him because his backlog is extensive. He played well and I'm glad that I saw him, but it was the worst concert I ever been to.)
10. Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band (This show was so fun. You cannot believe these guys are playing like they haven't been doing so for over 35 years.)
11 Radiohead (Amazing concert. What was cool about it was that because of the selective base of Radiohead fans, they could play deep cuts and most of the people in the crowd would know what it is.)

Soon to be 12... U2.

Nope, not from Nottingham, but Derby which is close enough

Loved Rock City, it was a great venue and loved the sticky floor.

Read a review of a Levellers concert there last week and it says they have done it up! Hope that it still has the same character.
Live in Nairobi now so bit of a trip to see any gigs! It's the one thing that I genuinely miss, particularly as everyone I used to go and see is reforming

Apart from your mention of U2 17 times, how were those three? Never had the chance to see Floyd live (and I doubt I ever will), Sabbath would be amazing and the Stones would be totally killer to go and see - I wanna hear Keith Richards on a few lead vocals.

I shouldn't say it as so far, but August 29 is Alice Cooper.
