I decided that I was due for a bout of self indulgence, so here's a list of shows I've seen. This is obviously a work in progress. It shows my musical taste progress somewhat, haha. I have links to some of the set lists, just click the band names. Some of the links go to set lists from other cities, but I still used them when the band played the same set here.

The Willie Smith story: The coolest night of my life. Willie is Muddy Waters' former drummer and has played with tons of the other greats. He's also an accomplished harp player and singer. Sonny Moorman opened the show, and my friend and I sort of know him, so after Willie had done his first set we went down to talk to Sonny and there was Willie, just hanging out. All of us talked for about 15 minutes, then Willie walked away and we all split up. My friend went out for a smoke break, and out came Willie. We talked to him for about a half hour about careers in music, our love of playing, Muddy, and anything else. He was incredibly nice and gave us some great advice. It was surreal thinking that I was standing with someone who is a piece of blues history and he was talking to me like an equal. I'm obsessed with blues history, and always wished that I could have been there. This is as close as I'll ever get, and I'm so thankful to have had this experience.
Hot Damn, Mike. This list is great. I've only seen Petty/Winwood, Dylan (about to be twice) KISS w/ Aerosmith, Clapton/Winwood, Springsteen and Old Crow Medicine Show.
Upcoming:
Dylan, Mellencamp, Nelson
OCMS w/ the Felice Brothers, Gillian Welch and Townes Earle (Steve Earle's son.)
