@Thelexingtonkid I was also at that concert and wondering why it is missing from this list. It was my 14th birthday - I remember it fondly - and first major concert I went out to see with just a friend and no parentals.

You’re missing a Pixies concert. On 2/2/92 they played the University of Kentucky Student Center. I was there by the time it was over it was after midnight and my 20th birthday was ushered in. Unfortunately, I don’t have the ticket stub anymore.
