While I strove over the years to keep an accurate and complete record, there are no-doubt shows I may have missed; maybe a random band seen at a bar one night, or a few bands that my own various bands shared a bill with on tour, etc. I decided in most cases not to include local bands/friends, unless they were featured on the bill as an opener. Therefore, this list may not be 100% complete in the strictest-possible sense. The actual number of gigs attended, all inclusive, is far more.
Also included are a couple various other events like stand-up comedy performances or talks by anyone important... "marquee events," so to speak.
My first concert - The New Kids On the Block - is guessed to have taken place in either late 1989, or early 1990, but the actual date is unknown. Despite my research, I can't find a record of it anywhere online. Several other teen pop groups of the time were opening acts; some likely contenders being Sweet Sensation, the Cover Girls, etc.
