50 bands/artists I've seen live in concert

50 bands/artists I've seen live in concert





50 bands/artists I've seen live in concert



Today I received a challenge from Fred Murtha to name 50 bands/artists I've seen live in concert; Today at 10:16am PDT, and then asked to share it with him and the world. Fred set the rules of this challenge:



OK, here are the rules. Test your memory and your love of live music by listing 50 artists or bands (or as many as you can remember) you’ve seen in concert. List the first 50 acts that come into your head.



Copy my note. Click on “notes” under tabs on your profile page. Select "write a new note" in the top corner. Paste the copy in the body of the note. Make your list. Once you've saved, don't forget to tag friends (including me) on the right.



My question, is why only 50, I been in entertainment since childhood; so let's give it a whirl. By the way, this is not in order by favorites, number of times, or otherwise ~~ it is totally random. I would also ask you to do the same; and at the same time, if you are 30+ [if you can't name at least 50] if you find this too hard ~~ then you need to get out more often!!!
