49 Concerts Ranked
I'm just wrapping up listening through approximate setlists of every gig I've ever attended and ranking them. I've been doing this for much of the summer over on RateYourMusic, but I've assembled just the standalone concerts for you guys. I'm bored and don't want to wait for #50 to make it nice and round. The Sputnik list format is annoying for setlists, so if you want to see more detailed write-ups go here: https://rateyourmusic.com/list/HenchmanOfSanta/henchs_definitive_concert_rankings/ |
