update: i was feeling a little blue about this list... thinking it wasn't quite as impressive as it could be... but then tray-z pointed out that at 40+ shows, that's nearly one a week. which is pretty good. for a chump. i mean for a normal person... ;)
final update: okay i've added a couple i forgot and now i think it's done and done. read it and weep, chumps. ;) it's freaking me out that i saw rufus the same number of times i saw DMB this year... no band has come close to DMB since approximately 1997.

Hey, I was at the amazing Alanis Morrisette show too!!!!!!! Plus you forgot Live Aid (3 Jul) - we were almost there, and from a DC perspective, I guess that's close enough! ;-)
Hope you are well. And I almost hope you won't find a job in Philly if that really means you'll be back over here (at least, London's close enough for a weekend visit!)
Take care,
G
GITTA!!!
I MISS YOU!!!
and yes, i realized i forgot several shows. will fix!
Man. That's so many shows, I couldn't help but comment! We gotta do better than two shows (and barely that!) in '06, ma'am.
