Pandemic things. I made a nice little list here, with the coolest concerts I've seen in my 37 years on the road (I'm 47 and the first concert I went to was in 1984).
The order is completely random; the only rule was not to repeat any artist's show. I wrote down the shows that came to mind. I could easily have repeated shows by Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Metallica, Iron Maiden, and AC/DC, but I made a point of including this rule to try and make the list as varied as possible.
Did we bump into any of them?
