Legal highs...

With plagiarism seemingly being the flavour of the week or month or year or whatever, I think I should make it amply clear that this next post of mine has definitely been inspired :D It's a list, the idea of doing which came to my mind when I was reading this blog here. As you will notice, a lot of those 'to-do' things are concerts. And I thought, 'Hey, why not make a list of all the concerts I've been to?' Or at least the really big ones. So here it is ladies and gentlemen, (drrrrrrum rolls) a list of the concerts that I have really got high on, with absolutely no help from any sort of 'substances' ;)

Some of them, as you will see, have personnel listings and set lists, some don't. As much as I hate it myself, this is all that I could dig up from my records. Though I do know for a fact that I have the Joe Satriani set list somewhere. I guess that will have to come as an update sometime in the future.

Btw, Skeeedamnbee, I still envy you for the list of concerts YOU have attended. ;)
