Somebody did a thing on Facebook once asking for a list of 50 concerts you’ve seen. My list is below.

What shows have you seen that you will NEVER forget? Tell us on our Facebook page!

You can even leave your most vivid concert memory on our “Labor Day Live Line” at (631)297-7595!!!

OK, here are the rules. Test your memory and your love of live music by listing 50 artists or bands (or as many as you can remember) you've seen in concert. List the first 50 acts that come into your head. An act you saw at a festival and opening acts count, but only if you can't think of 50 other artists. Oh, and list the first concert you ever saw (you can remember that, can’t you)?

First concert I ever saw: that's like asking Hugh Heffner about his first.... Oh never mind you get the picture!!!  Be prepared for some bragging and back stories on this list. Hey it's what I do!!!

Many of these I have seen more than once:
