Maybe I'm getting old. But I find myself making these lists. Trying to retain memories before they fully slip away. If you're tagged it's because more than likely you were in attendance at one or more of these concerts.

For the sake of this exercise I've focused national/international acts seen two times or more.

I don't want to forget the local bands that I saw over and over again. In Cedar Falls (1985-1987) bands like Drednex, HOLS, Hollowmen, Swinging Teens and others. In Boulder (1988 - 1992) you had the Warlock Pinchers, Twice Wilted, 40th Day, Architects Office, Little Fyodor, Naram Sin, The Samples, Big Head Todd, Again/Southpaw and others.

Here then is my list of "two timers"...
