If this helps as an arguement, I had a friend that went to see David Bowie when she was 8 months along...people were REALLY good about not crashing into the "pregnant lady" and we were on the floor, near the stage where you usually get crushed!  (anyway, I don't blame you, I love Linkin Park...hope you can talk them into it.  ;))

I know that there are a lot that I've forgotten.  I haven't been to a concert since 1996 (when I saw KISS) because IMO, concerts are too expensive these days.  I'm glad I grew up when I did because concerts were pretty affordable, even for teens.

Goodness, I can't remember all of them so I'll list the best:

Def Leppard (countless times)
Kiss/AC/DC (my first concert ever)

Did you see Def Leppard with the late Steve Clark....and was AC/DC led by the late Bon Scott??

I've seen Steps live twice and the Spice Girls once. Other bands I would like to see in concert are No Doubt and Sugababes.

My list will appear later...but for now I'm going to see Deep Purple tomorrow night in Denver :)

Actually, it's not too bad here in Ohio, in the boonies where I live! I can hear the crickets chirping outside right now, but for the girls radio in the background, it's not bad at all!!  :)

So,have you ever been to New York before Gemini?

I've seen DL both with and without Steve Clark (RIP:() and I think it was post-Bon AC/DC, it was in 1979/80.
Bon died in February of '80....so I wonder if you were lucky enough to see him?! As for Def Leppard....did you notice much if any difference with and without Steve ???
