    Neal Diamond in 69, The Who while in Germany in 72, Willie Nelson, and Hall and Oates back in my younger days. My tastes changed to country then and have seen The Oak Ridge Boys, Barbara Mandrell, Roy Clark, Don Williams twice, Allan Jackson three times, JoDee Messina, Keith Urban, Toby Keith, Trace Atkins, Montgomery Gentry, Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker, Little Bigtown, Kenny Chesney, Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride. And saving the best till last, we recently saw George Straight on his Cowboy Rides Away tour.

    It may sound strange but I'd like to see Leo Kottke sometime. Even though he doesn't quite fit my usual taste in concerts.

    I've been to several shows... I just honestly don't care for them all that much. I typically find myself thinking the whole time about what bar we are going to hit up afterwards lol

    CMA Fest in Nashville is always a good time though, especially if you go for the whole extended weekend.

    It was in the early 80's so safe to say it wasn't him. The one was an Alabama concert. The girl I was dating was a huge fan.

    The free tickets was for Air Supply. I never really like them. When the lead singer came out in red cowboy boots with his pants tucked in them, I was ready to bail. Then a hotty sat down beside me so I stayed. She was the best part of that concert !! Damn !!!

    I would have loved to see The Who back in the day. That had to be a great experience.

    I saw Journey and Joe Satriani when I was 13 and then Terri Clark when I was 16. I haven't been to one since due to the kids. They don't have big names come to town so we'd have to do an overnight trip, and not all the kids are ready to stay the night at Grandma's. Soon though, soon.

    Yep I go every year with large group of friends...it's a helluva party!

    The best show I've seen out there was probably Kidd Rock (listed that one on first post with rock bands). Eric Church was really good last year too.
