Metal Church
Voivod
Alice Cooper
Nine Inch Nails
Them Crooked Vultures
Muse
Mötley Crüe (I know...)

King Diamond

I'm sure there are others I forget, and a bunch of acts nobody would have heard of outside Quebec.
 
That being said, I'm not a big fan of rock shows. I prefer to "hear the music" than to "live the excitement", and most rock shows are just too loud to really hear what's going on.
 

Less than 15 off my list was in the last 11 years.
 
Most were between 1968 and 2001.
 
I saw almost no one live in 2002, 2003 or 2004.

And by far the best show I ever saw    Pink Floyd
 
And at least eleventeen bar bands.

Very interesting to see these posts - I've actually saved every ticket from every show I've seen.  I'll have to dig them out to look through them.  Just last Sunday I saw Dream Theater - great show.

When I was young I was that one weird guy (yeah I know) who didn't go to many concerts but instead bought the albums.  A few live experiences were good, but I don't really remember much of anything from them!  At least with the albums (some of which later were rebought as CD's and even later sucked into my computer where I still listen to them), they would last...
 
Here's a partial list (some were not of my choosing and I definitely don't remember them all!):
 
Bachman Turner Overdrive (at Knott's Berry Farm)
KISS
Van Halen
Kings X (opening for someone I can't remember, Guns and Roses maybe?  I think it was at Whiskey A-Go-Go.)
The Knack (intimate setting, we sat at the front table with the lead guitarist's Mom who had never missed a concert!)
Oingo Boingo (including getting front row seats from Danny Elfman himself for their famous Halloween show - we sat next to his wife and kid)
Jefferson Starship (in San Diego Stadium)
White Wizzard (new guitarist was business partner's nephew - he's VERY good!)
Rolling Stones (in San Diego Stadium)
Blue Oyster Cult (who our band, Foolish Pleasure, opened for in '84 - they were billed as Soft White Underbelly)
Walter Trout (many times, mostly in his tiny home bar called Perks right by the Huntington Beach pier)
Information Society (at an underground club called the Blue Room)
Sisters Of Mercy (at an underground club called the Blue Room)
Striper (at Knott's Berry Farm - bleh.)
Robin Ford
Jorma Kaukonen (of Jefferson Airplane fame)
Scorpions (friend bought seats but didn't know where they were, I bring binoculars.  Seats are dead center, first row above the "pit" - binoculars definitely NOT needed!).
 
Dozens upon dozens of bar original and cover bands.  Many with friends in the bands and even a couple where I got to go up and join 'em for a song.
 
I almost saw the Beatle's last U.S. show, but my parents thought I was too young to take along so they didn't go.  I also almost saw the Who, but the day before I was supposed to go was when Entwhistle passed away so the show was cancelled.  I KNOW I've been to other concerts, but I'm just not remembering them at the moment!  LOL.
 
There's also a very LONG list of bands I wish I had gone to see.  Oh well.

Snap! They were/are a great live band.
