Subject: all your concerts?
This might be a total dud, but I thought I'd try it...
I put it here since it obviously would cover more than one decade.
Can you list all the music/rock concerts you have ever attended?
I probably can, but will have to come back with my list later, after digging out my old ticket stubs. :)
Subject: Re: all your concerts?
Umm, I saw a symphony play Christmas music on a field trip once, about 4 years ago. Other than that... ???
Subject: Re: all your concerts?
Well, the lists of concerts that I paid to go see (or would have paid to go see had I not won tickets) is very short:
The Monkees, 1969 (they were a trio then, Peter Tork having left the group)
Elvis Presley, 1975 (yes, he did play in Charleston, WV, in 1975 and 1976, and was to open the Huntington, WV, Civic Center (now Civic Arena) in 1977, but died before the proposed concert)
Bachman-Turner Overdrive, 1976 (I won tickets to see this off the radio; I loved BTO then)
I've seen a lot of free concerts, the most recent an oldies concert featuring the Coasters at the Charleston, WV, Sternwheel Regatta in 1986.

Well now that may be what they were doing. I don't know what they got from up here (it was Seattle I think--could've been Tacoma)..hey, one more thing we have in common, hunh? ;D
A bit OT, but..we got more reaction from Skid Row though, in any case--my friend had made this big sign using their song titles..I think she was inviting Sebastian Bach to come and take a piece of her if I remember right--anyway, we were in the VERY front of the floor (seriously, there was maybe one or two people in front of us!) and we actually saw him put his hand above his eyes so he could read it and then he gave her a thumbs up or something like that..it was just really neat to feel so "close" to them. They were really working hard to make a name for themselves, and I was surely impressed! ;D
