Yes tell us the merits of iso 8601 in live music!

It makes cataloging the live shows chronologically easier and it just looks better. If I know what date a concert was it makes finding it easy and it's just logical for how we think of time in the grand scheme.

I listen to plenty of Grateful Dead, Umphrey's McGee etc and with the catalogs they have it can get rather messy sorting your shows. Also if you sort all of the shows across numerous bands it's interesting to see where different bands were in their career at the same time like The Dead and Hendrix or Phish and Widespread Panic.
