I missed a few local bands on this list but still hit 100 artists seen including some big names I have always wanted to see like Patti Labelle, Robert Plant/Alison Krauss, Rage Against The Machine, Lionel Richie and Metallica. With Tool and Gary Numan, I hit a goal of 100 artists from my best alternative bands list. Echo & the Bunnymen was a nice catch for me as they were on a wish list I did for one of my first lists on this site.
I did a list earlier in the summer from the 70+ bands/artists that I saw at Jazzfest.
I hope next year is just as good. I already scored Red Hot Chili Pepper tickets so that is awesome. Cannot wait to see who plays Darien Lake, NY State Fair, etc
