Here's my pathetically small list, in chronological order as far as I can remember:

Oingo Boingo (my first concert, about 15 years ago)
Rosemary Clooney (Humphrey's by the Bay, San Diego)
Berlin (San Diego Gay Pride Festival, 1999 I think)
Etta James (Belly Up Tavern, Solana Beach)
Cyndi Lauper (San Diego Gay Pride Festival, not sure what year)
Beth Hart (2x, both times at Pala Casino)
Jamie Cullum (2x: House of Blues San Diego 2006, Hollywood Bowl 2008)
Martha Wash (Palm Springs Gay Pride Festival, November 2007)
Idina Menzel (Humphrey's by the Bay, June 2008)
Yaz (Orpheum Theatre, Los Angeles, July 2008)

Cosmic Bus

Some of these huge lists make my head spin! I've been to two concerts: Mighty Mighty Bosstones in '97 and Boris this past summer. No one tours up in this area.

If there's anything I regret, it's missing Catherine Wheel when they toured for Adam & Eve. What I wouldn't give...

Tarantino

I don't go to many shows.

Tower of Power
Angels & Airwaves
Taste of Chaos tour (headlined by Thrice & Deftones)

You'll notice that after 2004, the concerts dried up. In 2005, I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, and it's hard to go to shows. First off, it's hard to spend that kind of money and not know if I'm going to actually be able to go to the show. Secondly, it's hard to go to large shows with big crowds because of the bathroom issue. Also, if for any reason anyone is interested, I actually have set lists for many of the shows listed here (though not all of them).

The Bus

Since my last update:

Girl Talk
Kavinsky
Konono N°1
The Kooks (2x)
Holy Fuck (2x)
M.I.A.
Quentin Stoltfuz
Super Furry Animals

I also saw Radiohead, Coldplay, and the Pogues again. The Pogues are, without a doubt, the finest live band I have ever seen. And that's considering at their first show I went to, I wasn't even a huge fan of their music.

DRG

Prince
Poison/Cinderella/Faster Pussycat
Smashmouth
Huey Lewis & the News
Warrant (at a bar, without Jani Lane)
Def Leppard
Jay-Z/50 Cent/Snoop Dogg/Sean Paul/Fabolous
Sugarland
Motley Crue/Buckcherry/Papa Roach/Sixx AM/Trapt

Very random, I know.

I'm sure I overlooked a bunch of shows.

The Bus

Fuck yes. Was he good live?

DJLinus

This is going back 10 or so years, but I think he did a decent job. He was touring in support of "Simon Says" and Internal Affairs. The only things that I really remember: it was a really short show and he wore a miner's helmet w/ a light on it.

Rampage opened the show and I clearly remember him sucking big time. But I didn't expect otherwise. A ridiculously large amount of guys on the stage, obscuring the main MC (who is constantly shouting "turn up the monitors"), does not a good show make.
