Sometimes I arrived on time, most times I was just in time for the main act.  It’s always a toss-up with the opening acts of any major band. I do regret missing the first thirty minutes of Queens of the Stone age who open for NIN, and I wish I missed the entire main act of Modest Mouse. They sucked so bad as a live performance that I made up my mind to say “fuck their opener!”

For the folks who are reading this, who are music lovers… Who are avid concert go-ers.  Use the app ~Bandsintown.~ It links to your Facebook making notes of all the bands you’ve ‘liked’. If you have the app on your phone, it can scan your music files, Spotify, and so much more. This app will find bands in the town you are in or within the radius that you set. If you are a music lover of any kind this is the app for you! 

This session, I have been anticipating for some time now, is an entry into Music Artist Live listing all the concerts I’ve witnessed during my time on this hell of a planet; but have failed to give them a proper session for many a reason. I’ve been meaning to catch up on all the acts that I’ve seen before I forget, though I know I’m missing a few from the list below.

Now, not saying that these bands are down and out for a future story here on Brickoneal.com. Again, I need to hunt down the photos, posters, ticket stubs, and the such to prove I was there. That materialistic witness is slowly showing in various ways as my years past and when I find time to dig.

A number of bands, shows, concerts, events, that I have witnessed during my lifetime that remains in my personal recorder.  The invention of iPhones had yet to be conceived during the time I attended most performances. The rest of the time, fuck an iPhone. 

This list of concerts I suggest one should find time to see. If not these bands of old people, then simply find time to go see any.

Music heals the soul.
