Ideas to "document" concerts my son has been to.

get shirts from each show

If you can write worth a shite, make a blog about it. Take pics, write a little note, share it out. You might even attract people who are entertained by it. Then he'll be able to look back on it and think it's cool (or weird) when he can read.

If you have the money, most concerts have a merch table. T-shirts will always be guaranteed. I like posters for shows, but those can sometimes be hit and miss at the merch table. I also hate standing in line at merch tables.

THere's obviously this, but I don't want to spend the money. Half the shows we go to just because we have nothing better to do. For instance, I'm not wasting my money to buy the kid a Tesla shirt .

We should have pictures from most, if not all. I have just never been one to remotely remember to pull my camera out during something like that....(except for last night when Dennis Rodman randomly came out on stage and sang part of Lightning Crashes with Live....talk about a WTF moment). So the shows where it's just me and him and the wife is working, I need to start remembering.

I'm terrible at writing about something like that, but I'll give it a shot......or get my wife to do it.

I mean hilarious selfies with the little dude help up over the crowd or in front of the marquee or with some hard core fans of the band dressed in shirts for the band would be awesome. Something that clearly indicates the show that he's at.

Man I hate that there a fewer ticket stubs these days. I have a photo book with all of my ticket stubs in it and it just looks crappy to put in the printed ticket.

you can usually find setlists on the internet

That's a good idea. One of my wife's jobs is to make the marketing graphics for the "non-band" shows (orchestra and other non profit events). Live Nation covers the actual concerts they promote, but she may have access to the stuff and we can make the graphic a page in a book with pictures and any other mementos.

I have two bulletin boards that have almost all of my concert and sporting event stubs in chronological order. If it's a show nowadays where there are more paper or scan tickets, I make a copy and print them off in the size of a normal ticket stub. They hang in my office and people love looking at them.
