   I have been to over 80 concerts/shows, and it's really hard to pick my favorite! What was yours?? Can you remember your first concert? Mine was Bob Dylan that my dad took me to when I was 6.

      U2 Joshua Tree at the old Orange Bowl in Miami, 1987.  Had Bono looked to my side of the stage (my right, his left) instead of the other side, I might very well have been the guy he picked from the audience to play guitar with them for one song.  Ahhhhhhhhh, the memories...

      My first concert was Toad the Wet Sprocket, I think I was 17.
      Since then some of my favourites were..Tori Amos, White Zombie/Pantera, Hordefest...wich was lots of performances but I saw Lenny Kravitts and also The Blues Traveler, and one of the most amazing shows I saw, believe it or not, was Gretchen Wilson. She did a cover of Heart, and also Led Zepplin, it was amazing!!!

   I did not attend in person, but absolutely loved the recording of the Moody Blues at the Red Rocks in 1992.  Still hoping to see my favorite band before they no longer perform, and I am going to try and go this summer.  I also love U2 and would enjoy going to one of their concerts.  My friends still talk about the Joshua Tree concert in 87.

      U2 at Red Rocks circa 1983 is supposed to be one of the absolute all time best rock concerts.  They made a live album and video out of it called U2 under  Blood Red Sky."  Wish I could've been there but I have the video and the album.

    I too have been to many many shows over the years and one of my favorite concerts was Kid Rock at the House of Blues before he really hit it big.  I was right at the front of the stage and Kid Rock didn't jave a huge ego that fame brought him later on in his career.  He was energetic and funny, poured his soul into the show and music and put on one hell of a show.
    
    I saw him a few years later in an arena and...well...I prefer to just remember the HOB concert.

    I went to sooo many concerts in my more youthful days... AC/DC is always fun and Kiss puts on a great show though they're not my fave musically.
    I used to really go for the super heavy stuff and have seen White Zombie, Pantera, all those types. Good fun if you like to feel as if you've been in a street brawl post-show.
    Saw Willie Nelson as a kid and that was awesome. Steppenwolf actually put on a fantastic show and still sounded perfect as ever at an outdoor festival I caught in the mid-nineties.
    Took my little sis to Green Day and they really are showmen - even brought audience members up to take over for the band & then signed and gave their instruments to those audience members to take home.
    Saw Soundgarden on their last tour. Delicious.
    There have been so many...things are getting fuzzy...
    Best recent show? The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Great stuff.
