Shows I've Been To Updated though still not complete

Some of the links are cool videos or posts I found about the shows and the rest are band sites.

Most recently: Beth Orton at the MFA for a pretty intimate show. There was one at 7 and one at 9. I went to the 9 w/ Nathan. Had a dead center seat maybe 10 rows back. Highlights for me: Paris Train and Sugar Boy.

I saw Natasha Bedingfield at Hampton Beach Casino, NH on Sunday night June 22, 2008. The Veronicas opened, I didn't get there in time for them. Went w/ RJ.

I saw Duran Duran at Agannis Arena Boston, MA on Wed. May 28, 2008. Your Vegas opened, caught the end of their set, they were an okay UK band. Went w/ Michelle.

I saw Natalie Merchant at Symphony Hall, Boston, MA perform w/ the Boston Pops! Went w/ Jason.

I saw Scamper at the Middle East downstairs on February 2, 2008. It was their final show. Forget who played w/ them. Went w/ Steve and other co-workers.

I saw The Sheila Divine 3 nights in a row. First at TT's on December 27th, 2007. It was a benefit show for a bartender there so there were 5 bands including Orbit and Taxpayer that played short sets. A good warmup for the rest of the weekend.
Friday December 28, 2007 was at The Paradise w/ Orbit again and The Control Group. I went w/ RJ.
Saturday December 29, 2007 again at The Paradise w/ Orbit again and Hiss and Chambers. I went w/ Jason.

I saw Morrissey at The Orpheum on October 30, 2007. I have some okay pictures and vid/audio. I got there a little late and missed 1.5 songs, boo! not w/ Kristeen Young instead Girl in a Coma joined the tour. I got there too late to see them.

I went to the Chocolate Church in Maine w/ Becca Lu and Dan on November 17, 2007 to see Kate Schrock, and Travis James Humphrey. There was someone else too that went on first but I can’t remember.

I don’t really count these as shows but I’ll put them anyway because they were fun. Both were at The Estate. Felix da Housecat on Halloween 2007 and Kaskade on November 30, 2007.

Dear Leader My last DL show was October 26, 2007 at The Paradise. I got to drag Tara along.

Morrissey July 7, 2007 at BofA Pavilion. The rescheduled show. I was supposed to go home this weekend to run The Boilermaker 15K w/ my mom but I didn’t want to miss the show, especially after all the drama w/ walking out on us the first show. w/ Kristeen Young. I went w/ Nathan.

Morrissey June 26, 2007 at BofA Pavilion. Drama show! w/ Kristeen Young :0( I don’t like her. I went w/ Nathan.

Cowboy Junkies w/ the Boston Pops at Symphony Hall June 24, 2007. I went w/ Jason and Nathan. This turned out to be the night of the infamous Jury’s sleepover.

Dear Leader June 16, 2007 at The Paradise. I was in the front against the stage. I think I can see myself in the video. Though I’m on Aaron’s left so you have to wait until Shilo moves to the other side of the stage.

The Sheila Divine played at TT’s on St. Pat’s Day 2007. It was some silly promotional thing for Bushmill’s and you had to be on the guest list. Luckily Nathan and I made it.

Dear Leader November 10, 2006 at The Paradise.

Gun ‘N Roses November 8, 2007 at the DCU Center in Worcester, MA w/ Sebastian Bach and Papa Roach.

Dear Leader September 15, 2006 at TT’s w/ Nathan.

Celtic Woman July 14, 2006 BofA Pavilion. This was on a date, I’m up for anything though this is definitely not my scene. This guy, Gopi, was totally into them. It was fun though I have to say.

Madonna July 10, 2006 at the Fleet Center.

Sweet & Tender Hooligans May 19, 2006 at The Middle East. Here’s the scoop.

Depeche Mode May 10, 2006 somewhere in Kansas City w/ She Wants Revenge. Got there too late to see them open. Made it just in time for DM, though didn’t make it to my seat. That’s okay, I wouldn’t be standing long.

Depeche Mode December 3, 2005 at The Bogata in Atlantic City w/ The Bravery opening. I went w/ Diana and Anton. I was still in vet school at the time so had to fly from Kansas to NY and meet Diana to then drive to Atlantic City. It was an awesome night! Great show!!!

Madonna July 1, 2004 at The Centrum in Worcester.

Concert for John Kerry at The Middle East June 24, 2004 w/ Commodore Vic, Count Zero, Dear Leader, The Fly Seville, Freezepop, U.V. Protection

WMFO's British Accents Presents The Good North & The Information, My Favorite, Saintface May 27, 2004 at The Middle East. I think I went to this because I know I’ve seen Saintface but I thought it was w/ a Smiths cover band and I don’t know if any of these other bands are. I think I was there because I just checked when I imported the Saintface EP and it was June 1, 2004.

The Sheila Divine funeral October 11, 2003 at The Paradise. I went w/ Randy, Nathan and Jason.

Whitney Houston This was my first concert ever. I wasn't a big fan but my Aunt Winnie and cousin Tammy had an extra ticket. It was at the State Fair in Syracuse. I think I was around 11 years old.

Aerosmith w/ Guns N' Roses. My Dad won me tickets to this concert. It was the summer before 9th grade. I think I was 12. At the time I was completely obsessed with Axl Rose. I've never been so obsessed with anyone else. It was awful! The concert was my first exposure to drugs and crazy stuff. Tammy and I rode w/ my Dad's friends from work. They were supposed to look out for us though I do remember taking off and going up front and Tammy getting punched in the mouth. She just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I bought my GNR shirt w/ the raped girl on the back and then felt stupid wearing it to school that way so I covered her in with black marker. I still have the shirt but now it's ruined.

Whitesnake w/ Faster Pussycat My Dad won me tickets to this show too, same summer.

Bon Jovi w/ Skid Row I saw this show in 9th grade, so 1988. My Uncle was working at the Dome then so he got us our own box to sit in. It was great! I had a really sore neck the next day from headbanging. Ha Ha!

INXS w/ The Soup Dragons. This was also at the Carrier Dome. I was now in 11th grade, 1991. I went with Carrie Maslona.

Tori Amos RobReed and I saw Tori in Boston at The Wang Center, around 1997.
