There's a full little game running around Facebook right now about "10 bands I've seen live"
The catch is that you're supposed to include one you didn't see, and everyone else has to try to figure it out.

I was just quickly brainstorming my original list just built around "bands people probably have at least heard of" which would rule out a lot of local Raleigh bands like Capsize 7 or Loose Cannon or Dead Cut Tree, and just focus on ones that at least had a national record release.  I stopped adding bands to the list at about 80.

So here goes a truncated list, including at least 1 I didn't see live.  See if you can guess which one  \m/
1. Follow For Now
2. Night Ranger
3. Cry of Love
4. Rage Against The Machine
5. Seven Nations
6. Neil Diamond
7. Lee Greenwood
8. Faith No More
9. Bowling for Soup
10. Saving Jane

My guess is you did not see Bowling For Soup.  Don't have time to add my own 10.  I'll do it tomorrow.

They played the MLS All-Star Game in 2005 in Columbus, both pre-game and halftime.

Summer '84 at a festival in Munich, with Huey Lewis, Saga, Rick Springfield, and some European bands.

How the hell do you remember all the dates/years, I have to look at my stubs.

I'm gonna guess Lee Greenwood.

I'm gonna say Jethro Tull, you don't seem like a flute guy :)

Summer of '91 at Ft Sill's big 4th of July post picnic.  I was helping oversee the Boy Scouts who were the ushers for the VIP seating.  I got his autograph, too :)

BB did not see Rage Against the Machine.

Jamus did not see Our Lady Peace...much like the rest of the universe.

My aunt and uncle saw Zep in 1975 at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan and LEFT THE SHOW - they claim it was one of the worst they had ever been to! Way too loud and horrible, muddy sound...I couldn't even speak when they first told me that.

I doubt I could think of five bands I've seen live.

I saw them in 1968 at Birmingham Town Hall, and they were stupendously good.
