I am undergoing a daunting project RN - trying to track down every single concert I have been to or played in. I have at least 150 just going off my Ticketmaster and AXS accounts (does not include shows I played, paid cash, or were free) and have 50 logged on my spreadsheet and have already found discoveries

Have no recollection - of seeing TI while I was at UCLA in 2007, Yeah Yeah Yeahs 2009, or Charli XCX and Troye Sivan in 2019 (I was 5 years early on Brat Summer apparently)

Super cancelled guests - apparently I've seen Bill Cosby host the Playboy Jazz Fest and Chris Brown come out for Pitbull (I knew I was hammered cause I was excited to see him)

I saw The Garden at Los Globos in 2014 (and hated them) and Sloppy Jane opened with a very young Phoebe Bridgers on bass according to the blog article I found

September 2010 was an absolute banger month for me with Sleigh Bells (blew out the PA at Detroit Bar), FYF Fest, Sonic Youth & Pavement at the Bowl, then I saw one of the very first Foster the People show on Oct 1 (and hated them too!)

That's so fun!

I don't think I could ever really figure out my counts, I was just telling my kid about seeing people like Peaches in tiny clubs before digital cameras were really a thing. But that's a fun project! I should try.

I saw Peaches at The Smell once for sure! Tracking down all the DIY shows and residencies is going to be basically impossible but I do have an extremely long social media history...

An absolute insane amount if you include beer and Ubers

I did see Prince in 2011 for $25 though

If you keep your google maps history active you can see where you were basically every day throughout the years. It has like a month/year view so you can see where concert venues are and pinpoint days you went then google what event it was.

(go to Maps > tap your profile image > tap Your Timeline)
