The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Did you go direct to PJ or rely on some kind of intermediary step, like an early U2 ?

Biggest regrets for shows missed John Mellencamp, Lonesome Jubilee Tour - sold out
I was considering doing a discog listen to Mellencamp. There's a heap of early albums though. Should I bother with the whole lot or just do the American Fool through Big Daddy run?

I think you're on the right track. Maybe a quick review of the highlights from John Cougar and Nothin' Matters; I Need A Lover, Ain't Even Done With The Night,
I think the 1990's output is worth exploring. Some good songs on there, just a different sound.

U2 actually came later. The intermediary step was slightly edgier christian rock, like these absolute badasses:
They’ve come a long way from Power Praise

I'm sure I got taken to some concerts when I was a kid, but I don't really remember. I'll start with the ones I remember as a teenager.
First 3 shows (all 2002) Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Beacon Theater, NYC Dave Matthews Band, Madison Square Garden Leftover Crack, Knitting Factory
Last show "Live from Here" taping, Town Hall, NYC
Favourite 3 shows (excluding PJ) Sleater-Kinney, Crystal Ballroom, Portland, 2006 (last show before hiatus) The National, Rivera Theater, Chicago, 2010 Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Barclay Center, Brooklyn 2018
Neil Young, Fiona Apple, Sharon Jones, Patty Griffin, Elvis Costello, Springsteen, and a surprisingly great Glen Hansard show from a free outdoor gig in Chicago in 2011 are right behind those.
Favourite PJ show I've been lucky to go to some good ones (or at least notable ones)....but MSG in 2003 and 2010 are both remarkable shows. Though the show wasn't up to that level, I did enjoy when I went to the second night of Alpine for PJ10.
Biggest regrets for shows missed Absolutely Radiohead. Had numerous chances to see them (including in a small theater for a Hail to the Thief warm-up show), but missed them each time. I would say Tom Waits, but I don't really feel like I can regret it cause I don't see how I would have ever had the chance.

First 3 shows Kool and the Gang - Saw them at the Ohio State Fair with my parents when I was in the first grade Guns N Roses; Soundgarden opened - Nutter Center, Dayton, OH (1992 I believe?) Firehouse/Tesla - Hara Arena, Dayton, OH
Last show (Hate that this was the last show I've been to. Should have been Pearl Jam on 4.3, but oh well) Boyz ll Men, Debbie Gibson, Paula Abdul, New Kids on the Block - Bridgestone Arena, Nashville, TN (Went to this bc wife went with me to see Pearl Jam in Lexington. Things we do to keep the harmony, Lol. I did want to see Boyz ll Men though. - Funny story, the New Kids filmed a video for their song Thank you that night and my wife and I are in it.)
Favourite 3 shows (excluding PJ) Cypress Hill - Crystal Ballroom, Portland, 2004 Black Crowes - Horseshoe Casino, Tunica, MS 2009 Bridge School Benefit 2001 - Jill Sobule, Ben Harper, Billy Idol, Tracy Chapman, Dave Matthews, REM, Pearl Jam, Neil and Crazy Horse (For me, best line up top to bottom I've personally ever seen)
Some close behind: Raconteurs @ the Ryman, Beastie Boys @ Cleveland State, 311 @ Newport Music Hall, Smashing Pumpkins @ Bogarts
Favourite PJ show Lexington 2016 - for the experience Memphis 2014 - for the setlist
Biggest regrets for shows missed Wouldn't necessarily say it's a regret I missed it, but had, at the time, very hard to get tickets to see Rage Against the Machine 8.10.96 in Akron. Unfortunately my father passed away that day and obviously didn't make it to the show.
Acts I regret never seeing: Alice in Chains and Blind Melon

Not to pile on but I saw Radiohead in a big shitty outdoor amphitheater and it is still to this day one of the best concert experiences I've ever had. This would have been the In Rainbows tour though, not sure what they're like anymore.

Last show My Morning Jacket - Red Rocks 8/3/19 (not great. Ask Strat)
Favourite 3 shows (excluding PJ) My Morning Jacket - Red Rocks 5/29/16 (Seen them 10 times and this was a completely different animal) Widespread Panic - The Wiltern 7/1/06 (The last night of a 3 night run. Amazing venue, amazing crowd, the energy went through the roof and we thought the balcony would break off from bouncing.) Bonnaroo 2002 - It's the closest thing to the original Woodstock our generation will ever see. An amazing weekend.
Favourite PJ show The Gorge 7/22/06 and 7/23/06 - Seen some amazing shows, but this one had it all. Capped off a 10 show year for me. Great performances, awesome Ed, stellar setlists, beautiful venue, and so many bucket list songs came our way that weekend.
Biggest regrets for shows missed Stryper - Yellow and Black Attack tour (just kidding!) Neil Young at Red Rocks (went back to NC to visit family) and PJ in Ottawa 2005. After 4 straight fire shows in Canada we went back to NC for a friends Wedding shower and it sounds like PJ might have peaked in Ottawa! We were having SO much fun in Canada.

Saw them back to back nights in Boston in 2018, truly amazing. Their mastery of creativity and artistry was something to behold.

I saw them twice, in 2008 which was fucking incredible and in 2018, which was good but kinda boring. I was super stoned too probably didnt helped.

My brother! Did you get into Tooth and Nail or any of the other mid-late 90s alt rock stuff? I still listen to some of it from time to time, to my great shame.
