For #15, I have an excuse, I was 12 and she opened for Bryan Adams. I've seen all sorts of live bands at folk and international music fests, but the chances of anyone else knowing them is slim to none.

The numbers in brackets are the number of times I've seen them. As you can tell, I'm more into repetition of experiences I enjoyed than about trying new things. I'm sure there's more, I keep amending the list as I remember more "cool" bands I saw on purpose and eliminating opening acts.
