Hi, Fidelity! Welcome to songfacts, the best site ever!

I´ve also been to lots of concerts, but I couldn´t write them down, I just don´t remember... but I have a pretty collection of some 100, more or less, tickets and invitations, as I worked as a rock journalist for many years. Plus all the others, to which I didn´t have nothing but a journalist card or a backstage card... I guess I must have seen about 2000 concerts or so...My first concert was Santana in 1972... my last one was David Byrne, in 2003... I´ll try to make a list as soon as i can... Unfortunately, I never saw:

Beatles

Pink Floyd

Who

Cars

Talking Heads

CSN&Y
