I saw them each atleast once, possibly more though, here are the two I remember vividly.

Mercyful Fate 10/09/99 at the Trocadero in Phila PA
King Diamond 11/13/03 at the Trocadero in Phila PA

Oh and not sure if you know this, I have talked about it here before though, but Soundgarden was my first concert in 1994!
I have seen Iced Earth with both Ripper and Barlow. I know Ripper was at The Troc. I am thinking the Barlow show was as well.

Edit: Check out this website for all things King Diamond and Mercyful Fate. It lists every show ever played!
http://www.mfkdfaq.com/

I found it quite helpful, may save you some time searching for dates past in your town!

Yeah, I can never remember exact dates either anymore. I can usually remember the year though. But when you've been going to metal shows for 18 years now like I have, exact dates are not as important as who you've actually seen live Thanks for the link the the MF/KD faq it actually did help a bit. The last time King played here solo was 1988 when he toured for 'Them' The last time he was here with Fate was in 1996 and just my luck this around the time I was getting into him so I just missed this

Other than that he hasn't come around here to often at all through the years. He does however seems to make a stop in Rochester, NY on almost every tour. That's only an hour drive from here so if he ever tours again i'll have to check and see if he's playing there or not.

Now i've just gotta find if there's an Iced Earth tour archieve to see if they've ever played here at all

Korn are awesome live. I'm not even a real fan anymore but I'm still somewhat looking forward to seeing them on Mayhem this year.

I saw them, erm, year before last? Fucking dreadful. Worst headlining band I've ever seen. I arrived late and they were so bad I left early.

Just thought of another one.

The Hives. So bad. BLARG.

Yeah, I wish I could find this! I still can't remember when the hell I have seen them with Barlow, and I know I have.

I can't remember a lot of shows I went to. Like you said, I remember WHO I have seen, of course, but the WHEN and WERE gets a little sketchy. haha It might help me if I dig out some of my photo albums.

I saw them in 1995 opening for Ozzy, on his Retirement Sucks Tour and they were horrible. I think I might have fallen asleep during their set, they were so bad. But I was of course, NEVER a fan of Korn. Little did I know then that in 15 years they would still be around and there would still be people who actually want to see them.
