Using email receipts and photos I've managed to find most gigs ive been to since 2007, logged them and aligned them to the photos I took. I've also brought my annual year end music blogs and spotify playlists from each year that I have - 15 years of reviews and tracks - Enjoy!

Paddy's Gig Log
Every show I could find a ticket for, from Anathallo at the Borderline in 2008 to whatever's on next week in Brooklyn. Festivals and club nights are logged as events but kept out of the band stats, since nobody remembers exactly who they saw at Gov Ball.
Tap any name for that artist's page: every time I've seen them, photos from Instagram, and where they turn up in my albums of the year.

Venue not recordedGlad I gave LCD a 2nd chance after the abysmal Brixton show. Amazing tonight. Also best sound in any venue I've been to.

Finally saw a LCD residency show after last years Covid cancellation and it was amazing. I want to go again. Had a squad for it too!

Two of the best live bands in the business and a bit of Jamie xx thrown in for good measure in Queens last night. Great night! #lcdsoundsystem #idles #unity

That’s my 2024 gigs wrapped up! Finally got to see @fcukers__ who were great and LCD on top form may have changed my opinion on Knockdown Center. Not many pics cos I was too busy dancing. #nyc #livemusic

Knockdown Center · Queens NYFantastic way to end the gigging year with 2 gigs on Friday night. First up a small surprise gig from @bigspecial_ who I’d liked from afar but never really spent much time with the albums. I am fully in now though cos live they are fantastic. Lastly, like we have for the past 4 years, we ended with LCD Soundystem - a joyful party, NYC tradition. #lcdsoundsystem #nyclivemusic
