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
)
