I’m the youngest man alive

Red Rocks lots (specifically lower south) looked a lot more dead than usual last weekend. I wonder how many tickets they sold for both nights. Hopefully they learn to book someone better than Andy Frasco next time through…

Didn’t ATU used to list openers as “supported by:” underneath the setlists? Was going to look back at past RR years. From memory past openers have included: Spafford, JRAD, Bruce Hornsby, Turkuaz, Lotus, Snarky Puppy, Dweezil, Dr. Dog, RRE, Galactic. Some great ones over the years.

I knew you’d also have a concert spreadsheet. Bet yours is way cooler than mine

Date, venue, city, artist, show# for that artist, and notes (notable sit-ins, etc.)

Also have a summary table with year-end stats.

  • # bands seen
  • # new bands seen
  • # days of music
  • # venues visited
  • # cities visited for shows

I wish I had the discipline to create something like this - I had a total shows spreadsheet going years ago but that hasn’t been updated since like 2011 or 2012. At this point I guess I only keep track of my Umphrey’s, Radiohead, Phish, and Biscuits shows.

Mine’s just a big list with a sum of total shows and total tapes made…

I do too after seeing the idea posted here years ago. Yay for us nerds.

Mine has a list of shows based on date, artist, venue, city, state, notes. And then tabs with an annual summary, and then unique show counts by band, by venue, by city/state

I was lucky I started it pretty early in my concert-going days. Didn’t start seeing much outside of Yonder and the occasional punk show until like 2012 when I started branching out. When I started this list I went back and dug through my box of ticket stubs, e-mail receipts, and calendar dates. Think I’m pretty close to having every concert I’ve ever been to in there (except for maybe some random sets at town fairs and stuff in middle school).

First show: Linkin Park and P.O.D. at the Allstate Arena in 2004.

I know I’m probably missing a bunch of shows from my college days where I either lost the stubs or paid cash at the door for smaller shows, but I too did a deep dive through my old bags of tickets to start my spreadsheet. I like busting them out every few years as it is a nice cruise down memory lane.

that’s pretty impressive. I think I started a basic spreadsheet in 2014 and was way too intimidated to go back in time outside of like 3 bands. (UM, the Werks, Greensky)

very cool. i have a google sheet with a tab for every year, only going back the last few though. date, artist, venue and then color coded by venue size.
