All I've asked for in this thread is how people have cataloged their concert going for nearly 30 years and no one has answered me.

Bueller?

This is the thread for true music geeks.

partially.  it's also a dick measuring exercise...

Well, wouldn't the purpose of this entire board serve as that? I mean really...if we can't geek out about the fact that someone saw Hendrix or Nirvana or whatever, then we really are way too jaded and cynical for our own good.

nevermind the inevitable backlash


I would have loved to see the Van Halen show at the Cap Center in 1984...

Lost among the chaff.  I kept it in a spiral notebook until 1999, then created my own website where I add a page per year.  These days I also crosspost at setlist.fm.

Just a text file, really.  In the early 2000s I scanned all my old ticket stubs and made a list of all of the shows.  From that point onward I just kept adding new shows to the list.  Date/Bands/Venue/City.  Occasionally I'll remember an old show that I don't have cataloged and just lookup the info online and fill it in.  Unfortunately, many of the early shows I don't have a record of were old 9:30 gigs and local/hardcore shows for which I didn't buy tickets in advance, so I have no record of those. :-(

Promo ticket from their "Power" tour.  Came with backstage meet and greet, merch and a flashlight.  Seats were bleachers behind the band.  We were given cues for using the flashlight during the show.



Then again, it was Kansas...

has anybody else noticed, that the majority of people who post in this thread, do not post anywhere else on the forum, for some, reason. maybe if life was a gigantic list of dates to remember, they would.

I'm a long time forum lurker going back to the early 00s. Not currently in the area and this seems like a fun exercise to remember some older shows. That's all. Guess I'll go back to lurking

this is what I do.  I just keep every single ticket of every single concert/comedy show/special movie/theatre performance I have ever gone to, starting with my very first two concerts when I was a wee lad, which were utwo zoo tv rfk, and pink Floyd division bell rfk.  I keep them in fully overstuffed envelopes marked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6 7, 8 . . . yeah I think I am on eight now.  and I go through them and read them and have nice memories from them.  that, is all.
