    Kid Rock! Saw him 2 New Year's Eve in a row, once in St. Louis and once in Kansas City and both were great shows. Guns & Roses at Arrowhead Stadium in KC was awesome too!

    Godsmack and Volbeat tonight. This is the fourth time I've seen Volbeat but a first for Godsmack. I've seen so many shows. Probably the best concert I've seen was Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins and Red Hot Chili Peppers....and it wasn't a festival! Pearl Jam 10 had just been released and they were the opener!

    Man, this is a hard one. It's really a toss up between Nine Inch Nails, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rob Zombie, Eric Church and Neil Diamond. All amazing entertainers and I have seen some of them more than once cuz they leave you wanting more.

    So far, it's an even toss up between Roger Daltrey at Bethel Woods and Ringo Starr at Radio City. I called out to Ringo "I love you, Ringo!" and he stopped the show to respond. Such a cool moment! This year, I've got tickets to see the Rolling Stones. So looking forward to that, and the Who is coming to Jones Beach.

    Hard one. The first two were Events.

    Cal Jam --1974
    Rare Earth
    Earth, Wind & Fire
    Eagles
    Seals and Crofts
    Black Oak Arkansas
    Black Sabbath
    Deep Purple
    Emerson, Lake & Palmer

    Anaheim -- 1976
    ZZ Top
    Blue Oyster Cult
    Johnny Winter
    Edgar Winter

    I think the best single performer concert I have been to is Steve Miller. Saw him in 1974, 2002 and 2018. He's as good now as he was then.

    Or maybe David Bowie in 1975. Or, I don't know, I've been to over 800 concerts in my life. Next one is Jeff Lynne from ELO on June 29th.

    Jeff Lynne/ELO is a good one! AND he'll be joined with George Harrison's son Dhani on tour. Dhani Harrison is a fantastic musician in his own right. Enjoy the show!

    Ani DiFranco always puts on a good show. Foo Fighters have great energy too - I’m not a big fan of their music, but I love Dave Grohl

    And honestly I always have a *kitten* ton of fun whenever seeing any of the Marley brothers live.

    Impossible to pinpoint just one!
    On any given day, and depending on my mood I could be swayed to say any of these were my fave..

    Rush(2010), Iron Maiden with Scorpions (1983), ACDC (2010), U2 (2013), Garth Brooks (1997), Guns and Roses with The Cult (1989)

    Hmmm tough one. I've been to a lot of concerts, but her are some of my favorites:
    -Metallica was awesome
    -Aerosmith before they became a pop band was really good. The show I went to was for the "Pink" tour, and their last CD before they got too Poppy for me.
    -Alice in Chains was great
    -Avenged Sevenfold was awesome
    -Slipknot was an entertaining show but not my kind of music
    -I saw Sound Garden about a month before Chris Cornell passed away, great show
    -Charlie Daniels Band always puts on a great show

    Hands down best live performers out there are The Mavericks. You can go to a show not knowing a single song and have an absolute amazing time. I saw them back in their heyday in the 90's and lamented about never being able to see them again after they broke up. Now that they have gotten back together I never miss a show if they come to town.

    Surprisingly, both my husband and i agreed that John Fogerty put on one of the best performances we've ever seen. Disturbed is near the top of my list as well.
