Artists I've Seen Live

Since 2003, I've kept a .txt file saved on my hard drive, documenting the shows I've attended. The list isn't exhaustive, but it's pretty close. Any time I went out with the intent of seeing a live performance, I jotted down what I'd seen: artist, date, venue. If I ended up going out and seeing a band or two by accident, or if I wasn't really paying attention, it usually didn't make the list. And I'd have to be there for at least 50% of a set for it to warrant "seeing the band" -- catching a couple songs doesn't count. Basically, these are the artists I'm comfortable saying I've seen live over the past seven years.
