Ack. I haven't seen any of those. Since I have to come up with 20 all on my own...let's see... Numbers will often be approximate.

NRBQ (8)
Robyn Hitchcock (6)
Iron & Wine (1)
Doves (1 - god, this one was LOUD)
Neil Young (1)
Billy Joel (1 - free tickets)
Yes (2)
Ani DiFranco (7)
Cherish The Ladies (2)
The Drovers (1)
Wilco (1)
Bill Frisell (1)
Joe Jackson (3)
Shawn Colvin (1)
Asleep at the Wheel (1)
Tori Amos (1)
They Might Be Giants (1)
Kitchens of Distinction (1)
Suzanne Vega (1)
Warren Zevon (1 - nearly 3 hours late, but at least he started with "Lawyers, Guns and Money")

Other one-offs that didn't make the list mainly because I got dragged to them: America, Three Dog Night, Harry Connick Jr., Tommy Cash. I love America's older stuff and was actually looking forward to she show, so it was hugely disappointing to see Dewey Bunnell forget the words to "A Horse With No Name" in concert.

And, now that you mention it, I've got some names in common with you. Neil Young -- on the Blue Notes tour, which was crappy; Yes -- or, well, I guess it was Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, and Howe, in 1990; and Cherish the Ladies, at a terrific free concert in East Hartford a few years back.

And that's depressing about "Horse With No Name." Weren't they "Sister Golden Hair" too? I have a quiet fondness for that song.
