dreamover Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Wow, set up my list, back to 1999. My knowledge of shows from 1999-2003 is a bit hazy, but I think I did pretty good. http://www.seendb.com/dreamover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwhitmuzik Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 My one complaint is that if you title a show, you can't see who played it on the page. Wish it would be in at least smaller letters or something below the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish it would be in at least smaller letters or something below the name. Yeah, agreed. I didn't add many concert titles for that reason. I'll do some thinking about a solution to that.

Buffbloom Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I don't know how dreamover added 322 concerts already. I barely have the attention span to add 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I don't know how dreamover added 322 concerts already. I barely have the attention span to add 100. i used to have a boring job, sitting at a computer all day. i enjoy web-researching and spreadsheets, so one day, to pass the time i started putting every show i could remember in a spreadsheet, while googling the exact dates and openers. i made a pretty comprehensive list over two weeks. it was pretty easy to add them all in.

justin_ Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hey everybody, I posted some new updates. You can now easily browse & search all the bands/concerts/venues/locations sitewide (instead of user by user). Look for the 'Browse SeenDB" link on the site. For example, a list of all the bands is here: http://www.seendb.com/bands. You can search for bands, find all of their shows that are on SeenDB, and everybody who's seen them. Soon, I'll be adding the ability to: browse comments (better conversations!) browse concert photos see most recently posted concerts/venues/users see a leaderboard of users/concerts/bands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 i booked shows for 11 years in western PA, maybe i'll start working on adding them up to that site. http://www.seendb.com/mike-t/concerts updated with 2001 - 2010 shows I booked under erieshows.com, had no real database of everything so I had to go through every post on the archived website... brought back some crazy memories. Never ever take your venues for granted. next up, adding everything I booked in pittsburgh from 06 - 11. much less organized with that show information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Avatar Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Yeah, currently it'll create duplicate concerts. It's kind of by design until I come up with a better solution. For example, say you went to a festival and saw only 5 bands. You wouldn't want all 50 bands to be added to your concert history because somebody else saw them. Let me know which concerts need merged and I can merge them for you. I don't need any ( haven't actually used the site yet ). Dupes are bad in my opinion, because if your site makes it big, you want it to have accurate information, and lots of information too. Plus ( i personally ) will want to be able to search for past shows to add since it'll be so much harder to remember otherwise. Here is maybe a better solution though. Have shows include a list of all bands that are added - and simply checkmark the bands that you've seen that will show up on your profile!

Never ever take your venues for granted. next up, adding everything I booked in pittsburgh from 06 - 11. much less organized with that show information Nice! That's one of the main reasons I created the site. All of that info was just (1) in my head, (2) buried in email, (3) sitting on an old hard drive, or (4) lost forever. The shows were such a big part of my life it would be a shame not to try to get some kind of archive of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can currently browse/search past shows on SeenDB and click to add them to your history. The case where duplicates could get created is when you are adding concerts manually.

kilahda Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I've added my gig history since 2009 (+into 1 show from 2008 so far)! http://www.seendb.com/pxiia still so much more to add.As a someone who absolutely loves going to shows and concert statistics -I'm addicted to this site already!Used to have last.fm as my main concert archive and before last.fm just wordpad where I tried to update how many times I've seen bands and how many times in what places - but didn't keep up with that so seendb is a great idea for sure. +what Last.fm also lacks is of course the ability to remove the bands you didn't actually see at a show.Just a couple of things, it seems to mash venues with the same name into same location. Any way to prevent this?Also noticed that when adding bands who have letters outside of a-z in their name, they get cut short and you have to go through edit until able to add them correctly. Eg Rytmihäiriö would be just Rytmih.cheers, this is awesome website! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwhitmuzik Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Also, you should probably have some people that can assist in cleaning stuff up, merging duplicate band names, etc etc. Like there may be something where it's both Captain, We're Sinking and just Captain We're Sinking and it shows up twice. Definitely need some moderators or a submission system to fix things up. Edit: Actually, this is weird, Captain, We're Sinking is an option but due to the comma thing it adds it twice. Weird.

Also, the way it's currently set up, you have to add a venue if you want to add a location, which I don't really like. I'll figure out a better solution to this soon. Thanks for letting me know about the special characters issue. I hadn't noticed that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Last big suggestion for now: I accidentally typed things in wrong or pressed enter before I was done, and it saved it in the suggested window even after I changed it. Just bad random spam showing up. Going to check a few things to see if I can get rid of it, but yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
