2003

I didn't start trying to keep setlists for every show I attended until 2013, but starting in 2003 I did keep track of the individual shows, so without further comment, here is the list of interesting events I witnessed in 2003. 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!

Our older “Unfolding Millenium” pages contain some interesting info about what we were up to in 2003, so I've included links below to jump to the 12 monthly pages created way back then. Don't laugh too much over the layout and design – those pages show off state of the art html scripting for 2003!
