This was fun trying to remember but I'm sure I left out plenty. I started going to concerts pretty young, friends and I had our suburban parents drop us off and pick us up. Really wish I could have seen the Clash or Kiss in their heyday (pre Combat Rock and anything Love Gun and prior) and many, many others (Radiohead, Father John Misty, etc etc).

Three Dog Night, Simon and Garfunkle, Journey w/ Steve Perry (1983), Peter Gabriel (solo 1983), Genesis, Bruce Springsteen (Born in USA tour), U2, Ronnie James Dio, Scorpions w/ Bon Jovi (1985, both sucked, was Bon Jovi's first album "Runaway" was a hit), Robert Plant (first solo tour), Depeche Mode, Echo & the Bunnymen (several), Ministry & Revolting Cocks (several), Clan of Xymox, Concrete Blonde, David Bowie, The Smiths (Meat is Murder tour), Yo La Tengo, Violent Femmes, SPK & Throbbing Gristle, Mission UK, Pete Murphy, Kings of Leon, The National, White Stripes, Interpol, Kristen Hirsch, Angel Olsen, XX and Arcade Fire, Beck and Sharon Van Etten, Cage the Elephant and Black Keys, Foo Fighters and Weezer, Jonathan Richman.

Ha, indeed! I was introduced to Cannibal Corpse in the late 90s when a guy who worked in Receiving at Barnes & Noble played them on a tape player in the back room nonstop. He was also pen pals with many famous serial killers of the time, just saying.
Love you, too
