This list was driving me nuts being out of order! So here it is in chronological order. Performers are listed in alphabetical order (iTunes style, that is, by first letter of first name). I noted which stage they were on, if I knew: Night Stage (NS), Day Stage (DS), Acoustic Stage (AC), or Comedy Stage (CS).
