compile a list of 100 bands I've seen live

96. Black Eyed Peas*
97. Dehli 2 Dublin
98. Ben Harper & Relentless7
Pearl Jam

*Went to Bumbershoot with some friends kind of spur of the moment. I was pretty clear I wanted to stay until closing and see Modest Mouse and Franz Ferdinand, mentioned it several times. One of the woman in our group had to leave early for work the next day and didn’t bother to say anything to us until an hour before she wanted to leave. Pretty crappy because I had to pay $50 to get in to see a band I didn’t really care to see. Note to self, I will not carpool next time.
