2010 concerts to date

I might as well follow up yesterday's post with the list of shows I've seen so far this year, through July. I've been better this year about at least jotting down the bands at each show, even if I don't take any further notes, but there were still a few that I didn't bother. Notably, the shows I haven't taken notes at tend to include Hotels in the lineup: I've seen them so many times that I don't have much new to say about them, and also I'd rather dance to their music than take notes. I still should've made sure to jot down who else was playing, though.
