Come on Sue, you've heard of Prince and Patti Labelle!!
I've been to too many to remember them all! These days I'm kinda over it, and so we don't go very much any more. As they say, if it was a REALLY good concert, you shouldn't remember it!!
Some of the highlights that I do recall...
First Concert ever:
The Band, Alvin Lee & Ten Years After, Rod Stewart NJ
Last Concert:
Bruce Springsteen, NJ
When I lived in Pittsburgh -
Peter Frampton, ZZ Top, Fleetwood Mac and
The Cars because of the music;
Black Sabbath because of the brawl that broke out on the floor after the show;
David Bowie because of all the colorful cross-dressers in the audience
;
Styx, because of the theatrics of the Grand Illusion tour;
Aerosmith because of my date and the van ride to the concert
;
Pink Floyd because of how messed up one of my friends was....
When I lived in the South East:
BB King, Buddy Guy, The Police, Mo Day and the Time, Talking Heads, REM, Bonnie Raitt because of the music;
Alabama because they played in a bar in Myrtle Beach and passed a hat for their pay-who knew what was to become!;
Willie Nelson because my date got busted for smoking pot with the stranger that sat behind him
;
Bob Segar and the Silver Bullet Band because I met them in a bar the night before and they gave me tickets!;
Lynard Skynard because of the fatal flight after they left that concert;
Marshall Tucker Band because it was in a field on a mangrove island in the middle of the FL Keys-great music AND fun,
Peter Tosh because we were cruisin' on a riverboat in New Orleans -which reminds me of the two Heritage and Jazz Festivals I went to and all the concerts there...
And in the North East:
Matchbox 20, Edwin McCaine, The Stones, Allman Brothers, B52s all stand out, but we saw concerts just about every weekend when we lived in Altlantic City and I just can't remember them all. Oddly enough I remember an outdoor concert where
Bruce Springsteen drove up in a pink Cadillac, jumped up on the stage and played with a band, but I don't remember the band!
Also have seen a lot of great comedians 'in concert' and The Dead more times than I can count when I dated a Dead Head.
Wow! That was a fun trip down Memory Lane!! I'll be remembering more concerts and smiling all day now!
