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)

First show was Raffi at Ravinia in 1992.
Memory is hazy from all the apple juice and crackers I consumed that night but I believe there was a really good segue from Baby Beluga > Evergreen Everblue.
