Concert Chronology

Ever since I had a friend invite / convince me to go see Our Lady Peace with her in high school, I became hooked and going to concerts has become one of my absolute passions. Thankfully, I somehow had the foresight to keep all my ticket stubs (back when you actually got them!) and with the advent of blogging in the late 90’s-early 2000’s I started maintaining my concert list pretty early on. That list grew into the little blurbs about each show, and then into full on reviews, most of which are not super-critical. Of course, some of the new ones, and a lot of the old ones either have very brief reviews, if any at all (keeping up these days has been hard!), but this is at least a minimal record of every major show I’ve seen. Granted, this doesn’t include the countless number of local shows, bar bands, cover bands, live music at food festivals, etc.

Some fun quick stats (as of 10/11/2022):

422 shows over nearly 25 years. That works out to 16.75 shows per year, that’s 1.4 per month, or one show every 22 days! 2020 killed the average, but I made it to one show and didn’t get shut out! 686 different artists at 112 different venues in 36 different cities, but only over 4 states/provinces! (NY, NV, PA, and Ontario)

Top 5 Artists: Sevendust (21 times), Our Lady Peace (20), The Tea Party (18), Cold (14), Staind (12), Hatebreed (12)
Top 5 Venues: Water Street (49 shows + 6 on the club side for 55 total), Montage Music Hall (28), Town Ballroom (28), Darien Lake (26), Main Street Armory (20)

If you have anything to add, amend or (gasp) correct, let me know!
