My very first concert was when I was 2 years old for Elton John. (I don't remember it)

I've been to KISS, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Ozzy, System of a Down...

My most recent one is Lady Gaga.


I've also been to countless indie shows.

I was at The Monkees concert in 1986 :) and
I was at 5 KISS Koncerts (1983-1998) which ruined any concerts afterwards for me :eek:

I would still pay big bucks for a Shaun Cassidy or a Cowsills concert! :wave:

I've been going to concerts since 1983, and I usually average between 10-15 concerts a year, depending on the musical act. When some of my absolute favorites come to town, I'll see 2,3,4 shows in a row. I lost count but I figure I've been to at least 300 shows Some bands I've seen - Aerosmith, Metallica, Rush, Queensryche, Van Halen, Whitesnake, Dream Theater, Skid Row, Motley Crue, Poison, Pearl Jam, Eagles, Extreme, Bon Jovi, Megadeth, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Journey, The Who, Alice in Chains, Styx, The Police....

On the flip side, I've also seen Barbra Streisand, Barry Manilow, Liza Minnelli, and Tony Bennett.

Not many and I rarely go unless I get in free by winning tickets.

REO Speedwagon/Survivor/Styx

George Jones/John Anderson/Terri Gibbs

Hank Williams Jr./Earl Thomas Conley

Gene Watson/Ricky Skaggs

I've won tickets to many concerts but I usually just give them to someone else.

The only concert I have ever been to was the Trans Siberian Orchestra around Christmas of 2007 with my ex. Was bored out of my mind. Iv'e never been too fond of Christmas music. It's okay once in awhile, but radio stations exclusively playing Christmas music a day after Thanksgiving as many do is a bit excessive to me.

I did have tickets to go see "The New Cars" (with Todd Rundgren), but the tour got cancelled after a tour bus accident. It was kind of like fate in a way since the original Cars reunited this year and I went to see them.

Shannon, New Kids on the Block (with Tifanny and Tommy Page), Stevie Nicks, KC and the Sunshine Band, Donna Summer with Kool & the Gang.

I almost won tickets to Bon Jovi's New Jersey Tour and was planning to see the Club MTV tour with Milli Vanilli but it got canceled at the last minute and the promoters would not refund my money. I later discovered the reason why when they were exposed as lip synchers.;)

In August of 1989 I was at the Iowa State Fair. Tiffany was scheduled to be in Concert that evening. I got in line to get me a Ticket, 3 people were in front of me when the Concert SOLD OUT! :crybaby: Also that day a Magic Show and an Ice Show got cancelled. :confused: realising this just wasn't my day, I left the Fair and spent the rest of the day at a nearby Waterpark. One of these days I'll return to Iowa, when I do I have a score to settle with the Fair! :lol:
