50 concerts

The rules. Test your memory and your love of live music by listing 50 artists or bands (or as many as you can remember) you've seen in concert. List the first 50 acts that come into your head. An act you saw at a festival and opening acts count, but only if you can't think of 50 other artists.

(This is literally all I can remember - I think there are a few other country and/or Christian rock artists that I'm missing. Oh yeah, and this is evidence of my very wide and varied taste in music. You can also kind of see how my interests have changed, since this is in approximate chronological order.)
