    OK, since I'm like huge concert gal, I'll just list who I've seen since January:

    Emm Gryner x 2(local Juno-nominated Canadian artist, she used to sing backup vocals for David Bowie; she can be seen in the Bowie At The Beeb DVD I think...)
    Daylight For Deadeyes x 2(band from Toronto)
    Hello Bella x 5 (local band, I've gotten really close with all of them actually!)
    Destroyer Tribute To KISS x 2
    Apocalyptica (met the band, got both my CDs signed! Eeek!)
    Stoned MF Pilots Tribute To STP
    Decade Of Sleep x 2 (band from Toronto; they play my hometown at least one every month)
    Ian Thornley x 3 (former lead singer of Big Wreck; for those of you who remember The Oaf (My Luck Is Wasted, it's one of his best!)
    Who Made Who Tribute To AC/DC
    Almost Hip Tribute To The Tragically Hip x 2
    Bedouin Soundclash
    Two Crown King x 3 (band from London)
    War Pigs Tribute To Black Sabbath
    Tom Wilson (former lead singer of Canadian alt rock band Junkhouse)
    Craig 9house Band (local band)
    Helix x 2 (awesome Canadian 80s hair metal band, they were HUGE back in the day! They still kick ass! I've met them both times I've seen them & I have 5 signed CDs too!)
    Econoline Crush (2 signed CDs & pics with the band!)
    KISS x 2
    Steve Miller Band
    The Trews x 4
    INXS
    The Tea Party
    Theory Of A Deadman
    Affinity (band from Toronto, their lead singer, OMG! she was hot!!!)
    Joel Plaskett Emergency
    The Arkells
    The Tragically Hip x 2 (insanely awesome Canadian rock band!!! If you haven't heard them, I highly recommend them!!!)
    Power Supply x 4 (local cover/bar band, they do a LOT of covers from the 80s & they do them well!)
    3rd Wave x 4(local bar/cover band)
    Bon Jovi Forever (tribute to Bon Jovi, obviously)
    Thunderstruck Tribute To AC/DC x 4
    The Lines Between x 2 (band from London)
    Scotch Prophets x 3 (local band, but they suck pretty hard core, IDK why people keep booking them to open for other bands, but they do)
    Dani Jean (female artist from Toronto & cute)
    Breaching Vista (band from Kitchener, good too!)
    Desire Tribute To U2
    See Spot Run
    The 88s (local band; interesting side note, their lead singer Ian, was the manager for AC/DC in the 1980s & he used to manage & run the Stubborn Mule bar, which was known back then as the Campbell Street Station; I know that the AC/DC manager thing isn't BS because I was hanging in the DJ booth one nite back in the 90s when Brian Johnson called the bar & my friend Tony, the DJ, answered the phone, transferred the call to Ian's office; we asked Ian about it about 20 min later & Ian confirmed it was indeed the man himself!)
    George Thorougood & The Destroyers
    Kicking Souls (local band, not bad)
    Finger Eleven x 2
    3 Doors Down x 2

    the x # indicates the # of times I've seen that particular band, but not necessarily all within this year in most cases. Yep, total concert junkie. Next up for Sept is Emm Gryner (again! I'm pretty much on a first name basis with since we usually meet & chat at all of her show, she's super nice that way!) and Floyd Factor Tribute To Pink Floyd, which will be the 2nd time I will have seen them, I saw them back in Nov last year for the first time & they blew me away! The whole DSOTM album live, plus the cute redhead they have on vocals is insanely talented as well. It turns out that Chloe (the girl singing with the band, her GGITS is not to be dismissed) is the daughter of one of the guys from Max Webster (if you grew up in Canada in the 70s or you know who Kim Mitchell is, you'll probably have heard of Max Webster)...

    I haven't started planning past Sept yet, but I did hear something about Protest The Hero playing for frosh week here, so I may check that out as well...

    Philip Glass and Leonard Cohen performing The Book of Longing in the ruined theatre of Vila Adriana, in Tivoli, near Rome. That was unforgettable.

    In very rough and probably inaccurate chronological order, starting at age 13:

    1. Weird Al Yankovich
    2. Coldplay
    3. Billy Joel
    4. Queen + Paul Rodgers
    5. Dr. Dog
    6. Roger Waters
    7. Pink Floyd (minus Roger Waters)
    8. Bon Jovi
    9. Radiohead
    10. Dr. Dog (again)
    11. MGMT
    12. Cage the Elephant
    13. Elbow
    14. The Black Keys
    15. Roger Waters (again)
    16. Coldplay (at a music festival and from a distance)
    17. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs
    18. Paul McCartney
    19. The Head and the Heart
    20. Dr. Dog (again, seriously, they are amazing in concert)
    21. The BTK Band

    A lot of these were at a couple of music festivals I went to. And not counting the random bands I've seen at bars and stuff.
