Elvis was THE best!
Eagles - multiple
Fleetwood Mac
Janis
James Taylor
Tina Turner
Blood Rock opened for Grand Funk Railroad
Beach Boys
Stevie Ray Vaughn
ZZ Top
Led Zeplin
REO Speedwagon
Bon Jovi (with my 13 year old daughter)
Garth (before and after fame)
Reba (before she was famous - playing a state fair in Oklahoma) and then several tiimes after she was famous
George Strait
Dwight Yoakum
George Jones
Tammy Wynette
Barbara Mandrell
Willie Nelson
and many others I can't think of right now.

I've gone to several tapings of Austin City Limits - that is really cool, you are so close and it is really personal and it's FREE!!!

Also, in Austin there is so much live music in small venues. I've seen Dennis Quaid with his band as well as Russell Crow with his band.

When I moved to Austin I kept seeing bumper stickers that said "Titty Bingo" - I'm like "WHAT IS THIS TITTY BINGO?????" It's a band

Anyway, thanks to whomever started this thread - oh! I think it was AlaskaYorkie - it brought back great memories

OMG, you may have won the title as "coolest" YTer! Elvis! I'd put that right up there with Beatles.

I've actually seen Elvis twice - once in a large concert venue and once is Las Vegas - both before he got old and fat. He was the greatest!!! Such a huge stage presence.

If I knew how to do one of those bowing smilies, I would! Especially skinny Elvis and TWICE! My brother saw fat Elvis and said he was still awesome.

Yeah, tossing in your Garth and George and other country, concerts, I'd have to annoint you the concert meister. I know what you mean about bringing back memories, though. I'm amazed at all the good concerts YTers have seen. I imagine some of us have been to the same ones.

Oh no, looking at the lists, I think that there are several others who have been to waaay more concerts than me. Funny thing is that there are some of the lists, that I only know one or two names!!!

I must be getting really really old!!!

But, seriously, the Beatles, Eagles, Stones, Garth, Chicago, S&G, Credence, Janis, Hendrix, Tina ... You are definitely the coolest person here.

Well, obviously I went through the 70's in a haze (purple)

but I realized I left some great concerts off after reading other threads (Doors, Chicago, Santana, CCR). The late 60's and the early 70's were some great times if only I could remember

I had a great time while my folks sat home watching Lawrence Welk

I am still alot of fun to party with and love my music turned up LOUD - Kick Out The Jams.

When the salesman asked if she knew him personally, she said "No, I'm just sleeping with him!" You should have seen the look on his face! Never a dull moment, trust me.

You stinker - don't tell all of my secrets to my success

You just wait and see what happens with your new "mean" Solstice.....as they say - you ain't seen nothing yet, baby.

You always have to be one step ahead of these car guys. Shock and Awe!

Tiggerwit · 03-22-2006, 10:50 PM

Let's see, I've seen:

Garth Brooks
Tim McGraw
Reba
The Judds
Wynonna
Queens Ryche - don't ask
Crosby Stills & Nash - most memorable for what happened after

Lionel Hampton
Count Basie
Neil Diamond
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Melissa Etheridge
Black Crows
Back Street Boys - took my girls

I can't think of the rest

Thank you, Alison, for speaking the truth. There's no way livingdustmops got through the '60s and '70s without knowing how to stick it to the man.

You got that right - I AM WOMAN HEAR ME ROAR! - what's a bra?, I am equal, No I am better, Equal pay (this seems to still be a problem) Marches to get the vote (just joking I am not that old)

It was a great time to be a young woman.

This was a fun walk down Memory Lane, Mike! I even asked Hubby, and he reminded me of some others! Life must be good when you can forget about how much fun you've had!!

LitlbitRanch · 03-30-2006, 07:02 AM

Ok - I don't know how you all can remenber all of them

I spent so many years (preHubby) backstage and partying with bands and stuff -at least 2-4 a month!! Its sooo hard to remember. :P Or at least admit.
Here are the Most memorable.
John Denver in RedRocks - 1st concert ever
Beach Boys!!!
Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 (ok - I admitted it)
Rod Stewart - so much fun!
Billy Joel - He Rocks
Wynona - Ok show but she is so sweet in person
Kenny Loggins - I still sleep to his Cd's
Rascal Flatts - I knew them before (and after) they made it big!
And every year we have something called Country Thunder out here. Over 30 bands each weekend. I did a lot of promos and had cool DJ friends so I got to meet almost everyone playing and hang with them when they wern't playing. We did this for 5 yrs (stopped when Joey was born

- Maybe start again next year)
