Well, ignoring local stuff, I've seen:

AC/DC (x2): Fantastic both times, but even better the second time. That said, I like them so much I have an AC/DC tattoo, so I'm biased.

You are my new favourite person. Angus Young = God.

In reverse chronological order

Bob Dylan: A ticket to this show was a birthday present from my mom. He put on a pretty good show with a good setlist.

Pearl Jam: Third time I saw my favorite band and the first time for my mom. Used my fan club membership to get two tickets: one for me and another for her as a birthday gift. By luck, we got in the second row due to "winning the lottery". Got her a pick thrown by Mike McCready.

Meat Puppets: Before I saw my favorite band for the third time, I saw my second favorite for the third time in two years. Setlist wasn't all that changed from the previous shows, but seeing the band in a small local bar was just a cool experience.

Heart: Went to the state fair to see this great band in 2009. My mom went with me and we both enjoyed it. Good setlist.

Wallflowers: My mom and I once again. Free show played out in the street near the local music theater.

The Eagles: Another birthday present for my mom. Her favorite band in the local university's basketball arena. Her second Eagles show and the first since seeing them right after Hotel California came out.

Meat Puppets: First show I went to of theirs is worth noting because my grandmother actually went with us. She listened to Curt Kirkwood's acoustic solo album and liked it and wanted to see him. Tried to explain the Meat Puppets stuff but she still wanted to go. First song was a full rock arrangement of one of the solo songs. Yeah, my family's actually kind of cool, music wise.

Stone Temple Pilots: Played a Kansas City rock station's Halloween festival in 2003, I think, right before their initial break up. Played a short set (lots of acts) in the growing cold.

Earshot: Same festival. They were okay.

Pearl Jam: First show for me in 2003 (later see them again in 2004). Worth mentioning for the fact that it was played in a huge thunderstorm. If you listen to the official bootleg close enough, you can hear the thunder.

Red Hot Chili Peppers: My first rock concert in 2000 (previous acts were country). Good setlist, but only okayseats due to general admission and me getting there a little later than most (I lived 15 miles away at the time and it was on a weekday...)

Foo Fighters: Same concert, actually enjoyed them more. I remember a good setlist, but I lost the site where it was written down.

As for the country acts, I saw Travis Tritt about three times (he actually came to Columbia quite often in the early 90s, IIRC), one of his openers was Trisha Yearwood right after she hit the country charts. Saw Reba several times, same with Sawyer Brown. That's all I can remember right now.

[New Damage]

I have now seen Alexisonfire. As you may've saw, I really wasn't looking forward to it due to who I was going with/who was going to be there, plus just a shitty day and cunt drivers on the way, but they were good. They played 'Mailbox Arson' and 'This Could Be Anywhere In The World', so I was happy.
