Hey, I think it is a great idea.
Except that you limit it to people who use iTunes? You're shutting out a whole lot of people.

I put it up with only iTunes because, well, I only had the library for iTunes and wanted to see if people used it. I figured iTunes was a good start and will to add more later.
Where does it pull concert data from?
Also it would be cool to use last.fm data via a username instead of only iTunes data.

I get it from Bandsintown. They have a pretty nice API.
Getting a list of bands from last.fm is a good idea. I'll add it to the "things to do" list.

And some (hopefully) clickable goodness:

Basically, you upload your iTunes Library.xml file. Then I parse it and email you the bands that play near you.

Anyway, that's all it does. I'm curious what you people out there think. If nothing else, it was great for getting better with Rails. And it was pretty fun.
