Dave Matthews (I want to say I've seen them 5 times during and after)
Jimmy Buffett (have definitely seen 5 times during and after)
Tim Reynolds solo (yikes)
Tori Amos (2 total, saw her again after college, couldn't tell you the opening act either time)
REM (Cuyahoga - awesome show)

Verve

Time and Place (would love to have seen ***** in ****) restricted to those bands that are still floating about in one form or another, with he exception being Nirvana :

Nirvana - ANYTIME - they arranged to play Belfast twice during the troubles. Even UK bands skipped Belfast on UK tours, and they still friggin' do. Kurt had quite an eventful time here, got into a brawl then OD'd after the first Belfast gig. I was in France that summer, so missed it. Belfast was the last date on their ill fated In Utero tour of 1994. Cobain is quite a popular name in Northern Ireland, and I believe Kurt's roots are here. Linky

Oasis - 1993-1996
Smiths - 1995-1990
Stone Roses - 1989-1992
Alice In Chains 1990-1993
Libertines - 2005-6
Strokes - 2002-2005

How do you get an attendance of 670,000, and still lose $12m? That is some serious incompetence!
