A and I took my 17 year old sister, K, to the Jon Mayer concert Sunday night in Omaha. It was fun. She had fun. We had fun. But it made me realize how my concert-going pace has slowed way too far down. Thinking about old concerts and whatnot, so I thought I'd list some of my favorite concert memories.
Note: All of these concerts took place between 1995 and 2001 and are not necessarily on the list because of their performance or my fandom.

Isn't it great how rock concerts are instantly a part of history?
You're lucky to have seen Rage Against the Machine. The one time I went to see them, they did the famous, naked "PMRC" protest in Philadelphia. It's history, but what a great band to see live.
i'm happy you saw the make-up.
The Urge!
We're going to the liquor store!!
I am very surprised to not see the Red Hot Chili Peppers in Kansas City on your list Mr. S. Especially considering your fellow concertgoers. Such as MB, KR, and the creamiest CC.
You're right, Doc (is it?). Good call. Consider it an official list entry, despite the fact I half-caught one of Chad Smith's drum sticks right after he sodomized himself with it.
Tell me about the GBV............
