Unfortunately living in the middle of nowhere I've not seen many bands. And they really only come to one city in my state which is 2 hours away. But...
Chevelle Korn Limp Bizkit System of a Down Dragonforce Turias Between the Buried and Me Mastodon Lacuna Coil
There have been other smaller bands that I can remember opening. And some of these bands opened for other bands I was there.
Burn Halo Papa Roach Buckcherry Avenged Sevenfold (twice; once with The Rev and once with Arin Ilejay) Hollywood Undead Stone Sour New Medicine Skillet TobyMac Paramore Tegan & Sara New Found Glory Battlecross God Forbid Emmure Pop Evil Trivium Killswitch Engage (recently; with Jesse Leach) Five Finger Death Punch
I'm pretty young, so I'm kind of buried under all the people who have seen lots of performances, but let's see...
I've seen Bruce Springsteen, before Clarence passed away. I tagged along with my dad and little brother to see Beatlemania, not a bad show. And I seen Rush soon to be 3 times in October.
Jefferson Airplane (though I don't remember it, parents took me when I was really little), Greatfull Dead (vaguely remember these, again very young.) Three Days Grace, Ludo, Flogging Molly, MuteMath, Silversun Pickups, Muse, Innerpartysystem, Pendulum, Blood & Water. And I'm about to go see Linkin Park with Incubus and MuteMath next month. Also just heard Justice is going to be in town in November, might look into a ticket for that.
I'm pretty stoked to be seeing Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers in Vegas this weekend. I'm going with buddies to do our fantasy draft and it just so happened that RCPM are playing House of Blues on Saturday.
Motörhead x2 KISS Alice Cooper Judas Priest All Ends In Flames Rammstein Slipknot Opeth x2 Hatesphere Pain Trivium x2 Axel Rudi Pell Blue Oyster Cult Ugly Kid Joe Twisted Sister Axe Hammerfall x2 Hardcore Superstar Soilwork Amon Amarth (and a lot more)

It was my first time seeing a live band earlier this year, I saw The Black Keys in Nottingham, then in July I went to my first festical, Festival Internacional de Benicŕssim. (It was in Spain.)
Now to try and recall the bands I saw: The Stone Roses (Headline) At the Drive in (Headline) Bob Dylan (Headline) De La Soul - They replaced Florence and the Machine who pulled out after she strained her vocal cords. Bombay Bicycle Club Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds Jessie J Ed Sheeran (Suprisingly Great) The Vaccines Example (Also surpised my how much I enjoyed) The Maccabees Miles Kane Maverick Sabre
On Saturday I'm going to a local pub to see my friend's band play. It shall be a good night.
