Oh, back in the day (before Ticketmaster), we would hitch-hike to New Orleans to get tickets, then hitch back home. Then, usually we would get a ride somehow to the concert. I still have old ticket stubs from those days. The prices were so low then. I saw Zeppelin for $5, Pink Floyd for $7. Ten bucks was a night out for us. Then, in the 80's, we got into seeing shows in Houston. We'd rent a Caddie, drive over...get a room....make a weekend of it. I still go to concerts, but not as often. My last one was Yes back in '08

But since you're talking about music... I was a totally 90's pop music chick girl. Backstreet Boys were my life, lol. My room was covered in posters, you couldn't even tell the color wall. I'll have to find old pics. I ended up becoming somewhat 'friends' with the BSB in 2008 and it was sooo strange after growing up with them. They are really cool great guys and I will hopefully be seeing them atleast once this year. But even though BSB was always my #1... all the pop stuff was what I listened to. I still listen to primarily pop. I've never been a rocker chick, or an emo, or anything. I went thru my "ghetto":cool: stage in middle school where I was always wearing Echo and Timberland and stuff and listened to a bunch of rap. hahaha. Middle school was my bad time, I was always mouthing off to teachers and getting in trouble, and I got really bad grades and missed a ton of school.

But I was never a wild child! I think because my family has always been pretty wild, my uncles are still huge partyers, my whole family is! They like to have fun! And I love having a family that will stay up and party til 3am, but I think since it was so normal to me and I grew up like that, now me being almost 20 could care less. I've been in like every bar in my area atleast once and i'm not even 21 yet! I don't drink often, I've never even tried drugs, I tried to smoke a cigarette once and HATED it, same with cigar, I didn't even KNOW how to smoke it, lmao. Junior year of HS my little 5 year old brother died and kinda made my life turnaround for the worse and after that, I just didn't care about highschool stuff, I didn't even go to prom or anything. :( So unfortunately (or fortunately?) I won't have too many wild stories to tell my children someday...

:D:D Thank you :D

back in my day I was more into Isley Brothers and all the old school R&B - Earth Wind and Fire and Ohio Players were my FAV - they can put on a show - Michael Jackson was unreal on stage - I always loved him - still do

saw Bobby Brown and Luther many times - they were GREAT -
I've seen tons of concerts - but not in years now -

oh and Bruce Springstein for Rock - wow was he something else on stage - even tried an Elton John concert - that was pretty cool - he's so talented

saw Aerosmith and a few others when a kid -but I'm too far advanced these days with alzheimers to remember

Edited - since I want to clarify I'm NOT 120 years old -for RAP - The Ghetto Boys YES and Sugar Hill Gang - the first real 'rap' group ever - Curtis Blow (no laughing on his name !! I used to club with him) and would like to see Eminem - but I'd feel like an idiot there but do have his cd's that I made

Patti, you must be a little older than me. My first concert was in '72....Black Oak Arkansas w/ Captain Beyond opening. I lied to my Mom and said we were going to the island for the weekend. Instead, we hitched to New Orleans for the show. We got home about sunrise and sat on the beach...cooling our feet in the water while watching the sun come up.

The ticket prices were ridiculously low then. I once saw Jethro Tull at Audubon Zoo for $3.50. The most I've spent for a ticket was $95 to see the Eagles on the Hell Freezes Over tour. They were good but not worth that kind of money. I once drug my wife to see Tom Jones and had a blast. She really didn't want to go but now she loves him. Overall, the early 70's shows were the most mind-blowing.

I got into a few of the 90's bands...like Soundgarden, Collective Soul, Pearl Jam and The Black Crowes. My new band I'm into is Them Crooked Vultures. I also am getting into Conor Oberst. There is some good new stuff if you can wade through the crap being put out.

I also really like the old blues music with John Lee Hooker being my favorite...hands down. His 'Face To Face' and 'The Best of Friends' are some of his best stuff ever and were recorded when he was hitting 80. Also, his 'The Hot Spot' w/ Miles Davis is incredible.

ME TOO on the blues - Latimore - Johnny Taylor - Bobby Womac ...oh man I could go on and on but no one would know who I was talking about probably

I used to burn my own cd's and have so much variety too - mixes of funk - old school - rap - rock (a little) and blues - LOVE my collection !

I would probably know...at least heard of them. My favorites that are still alive and working are Buddy Guy and Robert Cray. Koko Taylor is one of my favorite blues singers and who could forget Tina Turner, way back with Ike.

I like the funky soul groups, too, especially The Temptations, Four Tops and Sly Stone.
