I ran into this site several months ago when I was trying to find some info on an obscure band. You can create or edit setlists from music concerts you attended over the years.
I kept it in the back of my mind for a while, then decided I would dive into it last night.
First was figuring out what I could use in place of an old calendar program that worked on my old DOS-only computer. Checking with Yahoo calendar, I can go back decades.
So, next was figuring out some obscure bands via my (usually) good memory in general, one being Alcatrazz that I saw back in 1986. I remembered it was right before my birthday, on a Sunday (plus it sucked since school was the next night). So I went back then on the calendar and wah-la, that made it November 2 or something. So I created a setlist for it, although I can only remember four or so songs that they played (ok, I can't remember EVERYTHING, all right?).
King Kobra was similar: I saw them in June, I believe it was on a Thursday and it was right when school ended (just the day before! So that was good timing to go out late for a concert and not have to drag myself to school the next morning, along with being half deaf). Again, I found a last Thursday of that month being about the 26th and made an entry for that.
Other setlists I got straight from diaries (luckily I started keeping those a couple of years later). One thing that was surprising was finding the Coroner gig I went to in '91, since there were less than a hundred people there. However, there was no setlist. So, I got that out of my diary and wah-la, nice to fill in that blank after four years
(That's here, by the way. Unfortunately there's no way to add support acts on there, and they have to be done individually. I added Agony Column but only know of one song of theirs that they played, so that's pretty blank. Local band Fortress opened up but I have no info on them at all, so I didn't bother making a new page out for them.)
It's pretty simple to do, as you can usually just start typing in a location and it should come up, as usually someone had entered it in sometime previously. Same goes with a band's song titles: start typing and they should come up.
Nice to help out with stuff, and hopefully someone will add to what I've done in the future as well that I started.
