I was infected by cherdt!

It was a lot harder than I thought to dredge up 25 bands. I need to get out more.

I've seen none of these! and I don't think I've seen 25 bands. Does watching the Nutcracker Suite count?

Christ, I've never seen 25 bands... I'm pretty jealous of your list though!

My sad little list is thus:
1. INXS (1990 in Vancouver @ the colusieum)
2. Nickelback (not that long after the first cd, they were so famous that they played @ The Queen's in Nanaimo)
3. Honeymoon Suite (1998 maybe.. they also played at a bar, The PressRoom in Nanaimo, had to go for nostalgia's sake)
4. The Misfits (2001? @ The Icehouse in Victoria)
5. Cannibal Corpse (2004, @ some club in Victoria)

I've seen an assortment of other people play but, mostly crap that other people dragged me too, mostly very forgettable (since I've forgotten)

I've got 5 of those: Skinny Puppy, Eisturzende Neubaten, Voltaire, Kodo, and Laibach.

What you may lack in quantity of concerts it appears you have made up for in quality--there are quite a few acts on your list I would have liked to have seen.

**gets depressed**

I think my only shot at having a chance to reach up to 25 would be to toss in a bunch of harpsichordists (they're live performers, right ;) ?) And yet, since i'm of the obsessive type who goes seeing the same thing on and on and on, i'm not sure i would manage, still..

Anyhow.. quality, not quantity, i'd say :D

gads! were the residents as good as i assume they were? i always wanted to see 'em.

[victriviaqueen.livejournal.com]

Damn! I really don't get out much. My sad, short little list goes like this:

1. Platinum Blonde (at Expo 86!!)
1b. Boys Don't Cry (one hit wonders -- I Wanna Be A Cowboy -- who opened for Platinum Blonde above)
2. Gowan (Royal Theatre)
3. Billy Joel (Vancouver Colliseum)
4. Depeche Mode (Vancouver Colliseum)
5. Bob Dylan (can't remember who opened for Dylan -- a woman I think? The concert was at the old Memorial Arena and I think the opening act performed as long a set as Dylan)
6. Moxy Fruvous (Harpo's)
7. Doug and the Slugs (maybe the Forge?)

There must be others (I know there are a host of smaller local bands whose names escape me right now) but these are the only ones I remember...
