I haven't been to too many...

NKOTB, my first, I was 11, so don't make fun.

Dave Matthews Band, 2x

Jump, Little Children (too many times to count. they're the hometown boys.)

Montgomery Gentry (a USO show)

Toby Keith (another USO show)

Justin Timberlake (with my gay hairdresser here in Germany)

I am way too old to put down all the concerts I have been to, but I can say that the very first one I went to was Neil Young, back in 1975 - Yikes!

I was a major concert goer so saw most of the rock bands of the era. Then I got into new wave and punk and saw some pretty crazy shows in the early 80's.

In the 90's and lately, I've mostly been to arena-type shows with big acts.

BUT, last weekend, I did the unthinkable (for a middle aged mom of 3)!! I took my 15 year old son to Austin City Limits where we saw in order-

Friday:
Joss Stone - girl's got some pipes
Spoon
The Killers - INCREDIBLE!!! We were around the 12th row back!

Saturday:
Raul Malo
Paolo Nutine - (staked out a Front Row spot for the rest of the day) - he was awesome!
Blue October - (to keep our front row for the last act)
Arctic Monkeys
ARCADE FIRE - AWESOME Like a religious experience

Sunday:
Yo Lo Tengo - (staked out our front row spot) We then split up for two acts
Me:
Robert Earl Keen
Lucinda Williams

Son:
Ben Kweller
Bloc Party

Met back up for:
WILCO - FABULOUS!

Left before Dylan because son informed me he had homework

Typical.

We had a wonderful time and are planning to go next year!!!! (or as long as he'll have me)

I saw the Def Leppard/Styx/Foreigner concert in August.

I will be going to see Nightwish in November.

And my best friend wants to attend this 10-band festival in November too- but I have no clue who most of the bands are.

Nice one...not exactly the type of band common to these boards..but I dig them.

I saw Unwed Sailor at a random bar last week....only to discover through talking with them after their amazing show to learn that they are also Bear Colony (less the misdiagnosed-with-Chrones-disease lead singer!)
