2012
I didn't start trying to keep setlists for every show I attended until 2013, but I did keep track of the individual shows, so without further comment, here is the list of interesting events I witnessed in 2012. I know I stashed away about a file box per year of ephemera, so in time, some of these events might gain setlists, but don't hold your breath waiting!
