I have a list that’s about average, but only 3 artists that I have seen, or will see in the near future, more than once: Schascle/Twinkle: As much as bjork and emiliana torrini are above her, Schascle is nonetheless above all other female singers. Seen her at least 6 times…if you like blues/rock/jazz/soul (her style’s really indescribable), see her. Dashboard Confessional: Seen them twice, and will see them for a third time this Thursday. When I describe that their concert is a sing-along, ppl say “a lot of bands do that”. No, they don’t, you really didnt listen when I mentioned the extent to which they do this. For a music geek like me it provides nice reinforcement of my musical knowledge, and the knowledge that other people share this with me. Heart: probably my second-favorite arena-rock artists, besides Led Zep. This time, however, they are playing smaller places: last time I saw them at House of Blues they did the best song I’ve heard from _anyone_ in concert: cover of Battle of Evermore (just think of the harmonies they exploited in that song!). I include them here because they are coming back here in winter and I am soooo there. ---

> [@ColonelDax](#): > > \*\*The dBs \*\* are another standout, saw them three times during the summer of 1985 at the 9:30, the Roxy and American University. Great shows, they usually opened with “Any Old Thing,” and I remember them ripping through “See No Evil” for an encore at the 9:30. > > \*\*R.E.M. \*\* opening for the \*\*English Beat \*\* (Vanderbilt University, spring 1983) was an awe-inspiring show, I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much pure energy.

In no particular order: Jose Feliciano (my mom took me) The Scorpions Ratt (opened for the Scorpions) Journey ZZ Top Def Leppard (twice; once with 5 non-Leppard fans) Commander Cody (in 1992) The Subdudes (opened for Commander Cody) Eddie Money (at the fair) Loverboy (opened for Eddie Money) REM Soundgarden Train (in a 1400 seat venue–wonderful show) Wood (opened for Train) Barenaked Ladies Guster (opened for BNL) The Tragically Hip Best concert was definitely Barenaked Ladies. I had a great time a both Def Leppard concerts, if you discount the drunken fans. REM put on a great show, but the venue was outdoors (the Gorge at George, Washington) which wasn’t the best for their music and the crowd sucked. My least favorites: ZZ Top–the band played for 45 minutes and left, and Ratt–the distortion was so bad that you really had no idea which of their crappy songs they were playing. I really, really want to go see Chris Isaak and probably will see him next year when he comes to Seattle. And I really want to see Martin Zellar, but since I’m not going to the mid West and he isn’t coming to Washington, I don’t see that happening. ---
