    If anyone ever wants to have the time of their lives... Come to Minnesota for We Fest.

    Annual event for us that gets crazier and crazier each year we go.

    last concert I went to was.......Grand Funk Railroad in 2006. Before that....here, let's make it easy. I haven't been to a concert with a popular band for the time since I went to the Monster's of Rock Concert in 1985 in Germany.

    I just went to Lyle Lovett in a small venue in Des Moines a few days ago. It was a great evening. Some of the best musicians in his band you will ever see. Some friends of ours are fans and I went reluctantly. I left wondering when and where I could see them play again.

    I've heard he puts on a good show. I went to see Vince Gill against my will earlier this year. He and his band were incredible musicians. Very good show, I'd definately go see him again.

    X2, we go VIP on tickets and camping, it's our one splurge a year. I actually live in Detroit Lakes so it's fun to watch all the people file in and leave again on Sunday.

    Actually we did another splurge this year too, my wife has an unhealthy obsession with Eric Church so we have VIP tickets to see him in Minneapolis in September.

    WOW is all i have to say after seeing Brantley Gilbert live!! I have been to many concerts, rock, metal, country, and i have to say his style of country is AWESOME live. the place was practically sold out, and one of the loudest and friendliest type of a rowdy crowd as it gets. His band is very talented, mixing in a few intro to cover songs here and there to get the place rocking more. Enter sandman intro (metallica) Blind from Korn, and a little disturbed. He also played his songs "my kinda party" and "Dirt road anthem" which i think is awesome for him to still do. I highly reccomend seeing him live!!!!

    King George tonight!!!!!!!!!!

    I saw One Republic a month ago. We saw Motley Crue at Summerfest with Alice Cooper, scored 3rd row seats for that show and it was beyond awesome. We still have Train and a few others the wife bought tickets for.
