I don't think I'm forgetting any, but I'm tired, so it's possible.  I would gladly see every show again, with the exception of LeAnn Rimes (I've grown out of most of her stuff), *NSYNC (I was never really a big fan at all.  Alisa loved them and asked me to go with her.), and the Dixie Chicks (I wasn't too impressed with their live performance.  I still like their music, but it's not a show that sticks out in my mind.  At all.)

Artists I haven't seen and would LOVE to:
-Carrie Underwood
-Pink
-Britney Spears
-Martina McBride
-Bruce Springsteen
-The Eagles
-Don Henley (solo)
-Brandi Carlile
-Evanescence
-Sugarland
-David Foster
-The Rolling Stones
-AC/DC
-Brad Paisley
-Jimmy Buffett
-Garth Brooks
-Lady Gaga
-Sia
...this list could go on forever.  :)

P.S. In ten minutes, on October 3rd, it will be ten years since my Celine show in St. Louis.  Wow
