thatgirlemily threw the gauntlet, I picked it up
this is also a staggeringly incomplete list - mainly missing opening bands, and heavily weighted towards the shows I've seen in the last couple of years. a list of bands I think I've seen but can't quite remember if I have or not is at the end. I really should have kept a list this whole time. I really should start keeping a list from now on. It would have been so much easier if the Middle East made available an archive of every show they ever put on!
there are a number of bands I have a very good memory of seeing (often many times) whose names I just cannot think of right now, mostly indiepop bands. one notable (non-indiepop) one is this band whose name started with an L and probably had something to do with lounge? lizards? something? who I went to see about 5 times in the summer of 1996 at Phoenix Landing (when I could get in without them carding me). one of the members also played in The Ghost of Tony Gould. but for 3 years now I have not been able to recall their name.
I also do not want to admit to having seen half or so of Pearl Jam at the Tibetan Freedom Concert.

ones I’m not sure about – I’m almost positive I’ve seen them but have no actual memories of the show – Luna, Polvo (but could just be Ash Bowie in Helium memories, though I do seem to remember seeing Polvo specifically, as well), Archers of Loaf, Sonic Youth, Marine Research (or some other Amelia Fletcher project. I just can’t remember which), that dog., Juliana Hatfield, Air Miami. I’ve also definitely seen some Kim Deal project, probably the Amps, though it might have been the Breeders. Or the Kelley Deal 6000. Also, definitely have seen some British band like the Dandy Warhols (perhaps opening for Blur? Emily?).

my first year at Welles (and most years to be honest) I probably went to at least one or two shows every week. no joke.
no subject
I saw the Dandy Wharols open for Radiohead- did you see them then maybe?
I feel like I've seen more pop bands with you, but don't remember. Like Jumprope. That sounds familiar. I am pretty sure I saw Sarge, but not 100% positive.
Ladybug Transistor is etched in my memory of something we hated together. ha!
so jealous of Chisel too.
no subject
who opened for RH when we saw them at Irving Plaza and Harborlights? I have absolutely no memory at all. ditto for the Worcester Centrum show. also, I feel like Grant Lee Buffalo opened for R.E.M. when I saw them, but I honestly don't remember.
you probably saw Jumprope. I think you've never gotten to see Sarge. I couldn't find the setlist from the Boston Noisefest where we saw Ladybug Transistor and Push Kings and Divine Comedy, but I know there were a few other bands on there that we saw.
Chisel - sooo good! but you were in England, so there. :)

DW opened for Rhead at harborlights, I forget who did at Irving Plaza. Worcester Centrum was when I was in Bristol I think, but I saw them in Wales w/Teenage Fanclub and Dj Shadow. so good!
