Fun thread! Have been to hundreds of concerts.

First one-Carole King in Central Park around 1970

Favorite-Rolling Stones (my favorite Band) Saw them 5x. My favorite concert was at The Orange Bowl,Miami, FL Nov. 16,1989. As an early bday present, my brother said he had a big surprise for me. A limo picked us up and escorted us down to the Orange Bowl to see The Stones (Smashing Pumpkins, Marilyn Manson, Dave Matthews Band, etc.). What I didn't know, is that he had purchased front row tix for us. Was so close, Mick sweated on me (only kidding). Greatest concert experience ever.

Saw everyone from Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Led Zeppelin, Paul Mccartney & Wings, Ringo Starr, Heart, Grass Roots, Grand Funk (10x...hubby's favorite),Beach Boys,Grass Roots, Three Dog Night, Johnny & Edgar Winter, Foreigner, Rick Derringer, The Turtles, Tom Jones, Gloria Estevan, CCR,The Four Seasons, Jay & the Americans (Jay Black is my cousin),Gloria Gaynor, Donna Summer, KC & The Sunshine Band, The Bee Gees,The Who,Metalica, Van Halen,Elton John, Billy Joel, Herman's Hermits,America, Bad Company,Blood, Sweat & Tears, Rod Stewart, Chicago,Boston, Blondie,Hall & Oates, Alice Cooper, Steve Miller Band,The Cars, Badfinger,The Guess Who, Fleetwood Mac,Steppenwolf,Don Henley,Rick Springfield,Gary Puckett & The Union Gap,Bachman Turner Overdrive,Eddie Money,Tommy James & The Shondells, Englebert Humperdinck,Labelle,Paul Revere & The Raiders, Tavares,The Tramps,The Young Rascals, etc. etc. etc
