I searched the UMA for this topic and was unable to find it, so if it does exist, please forgive me and point me in the right direction.
If it doesnt exist, I thought it'd be cool to list what concerts we've attended in our lives.
Did you get to see the Beatles? That knowledge would be old school cool. The Stones? How many times?
the Monkees?
As we are all of differing ages, the lists should span the ages as well.
My list is as follows:
the rolling stones 4 times
pink floyd 3 times
led zeppelin 1 time *bonham died days later*
jethro tull
frank zappa
the knack
the kinks

That's an impressive list.
I know!! I need to get out more! :) I've seen the same bands multiple times, and I haven't gone to any shows this year!
And I live 30 mins. from a major U.S. city!! I'm going to go to make up for lost time in 2012 and go to some shows.....or die tryin'!
Even my 6 year old grandson gets out more than I do- he saw Weird Al a few weeks ago! :)
Charp:
You can't do it all at once and you're only a day's drive from New Orleans .. get yourself to the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival for a weekend of fun and you'll take in a dozen or more great acts.

Flower- That's weird, because I have been pestering my husband to take a trip to New Orleans for about a year! It's really not far and we are always in the Fla. panhandle visiting my family, so we could leave from there! I went to N.O. when I was 15, with my grandparents, but I didn't experience it the right way :) My daughter is a musician and when she was in college, she went with friends and brought me back a Preservation Hall concert cd. She went crazy over the town and said I needed to go there. I also have been more interested since I saw The Princess and the Frog!! I LOVE that movie!! (not that I believe that there are animals that play instruments and sing...or anything) But I really love going to music festivals! :)
