Concerts we've been to

OK so it was quite scary when we realised we couldn't remember just how many times we've seen Bruce Springsteen play.  So it's time to obsessively catalogue all the Bruce Springsteen concerts we've been to. And if those concerts, why not all the others?

This will be a work in progress as we drag memories out of our aging heads and stumble across old concert T-shirts in the back of the cupboard. We'll also try to tidy it up and put some photos and memories in to make it more than just a boring list.
