For a brief moment in my twenties, I was lucky enough to be able to travel and see some of my favorite musicians live in concert. One pandemic and one dog later – and simply growing older – have effectively ended this streak for me, but I still like to look at this list from time to time. Striketroughs are cancelled shows that I had tickets for. Ordered by personal preference, subject to change.
