I dunno, seems like a fun idea to me. State your age, and any concerts you've ever been to or all the bands you've ever seen. Be honest, too, include the concerts you're not particularly proud of. Go in chronological order if you can. Feel free to list any concerts you plan on going to in the near future. Try not to include shows by your neighbor's garage band that no one else could possibly know about (even though they're often the most fun). Enjoy!
