Another list of stuff, this time artists that I have seen live over the years. I'm probably forgetting a few but most of them are represented here.

Edit 9/10/2011: Went to the Jack FM show featuring Def Leppard, Heart, Dramarama, Everclear, Marcy Playground and Sir Mix-A-Lot, totally fun show and Def Leppard and Heart totally kicked ass!

Edit 10/17/2011: Foo Fighters and Cage the Elephant @ The Forum on 10/14. Dave Grohl sat in for drums on Cage the Elephant. Foo Fighters performed for almost 3 hours, concert was awesome, I may have to start picking up some of their albums now, Dave Grohl rocks!

Edit 1/25/2012: Went to two shows, one on Saturday the 21st Nightwish, Amorphis and Dommin and on Tuesday the 24th saw Lucinda Williams and Blake Mills. Both were great shows.

Edit 2/27/2012: Added a check mark to Laura Veirs, saw her at the Dragon Fly Doulou shop in Los Angeles on 2/26 with the Tumblebees, originally was slated to perform at Largo which was cancelled and instead gave us a free performance. …
