    This is a weird range of music, but The Ramones, Blackie and the Rodeo Kings (unbelievable live), Neko Case, Daniel Lanois, The Beatfarmers, Paul Kelly.

    All created a live experience that can't be replicated in their recorded music.

    The Beatfarmers!!!

    From what I have been told,I had the most fun at Peter Frampton :blushing:

    My all time favorite was Carol King and James Taylor. Since I was 11, I went to their music to sooth me when things were very bad, so it was a dream come true to sit close up and personal and listen:heart::heart: :heart:

    KISS - Portland Seadogs Field 1989 (this was before they put they make up back on when they still seemed to care more about the fans than the almighty dollar)

    Rick Springfield - Foxwoods Casino 2003 (I've seen him a lot, but this was the first, so it is special)

    Paul McCartney - Fenway Park 2009 (again, seen him a lot, but my Mom & I had 20'th row center seats.)

    Queen in 1976

    My daughter gets jealous whenever I mention it as she would have loved the chance to see Freddie Mercury in concert (she was only 3 when he died).

    Any Jack Johnson show.....have seen him 3 times now and LOVED every show

    G-Love and Special Sauce in Oregon 2010

    Dave Matthews and Ben Harper at the Gorge in George, WA Labor Day weekend 2010....Best time away from the kids with my hubby!

    Family Values Tour 1999- Korn, Limp Bizkit, Primus, and Staind(before a cd was ever out)

    Rockfest 2001-First weekend away with my now hubby- Godsmack headlined, Saliva, POD and Puddle of Mudd were there too & others.

    Up in Smoke Tour 2000 with my little brother for his 16th bday was awesome! Dr Dre, Ice Cube, Snoop, and Eminem.

    Somewhere between 1998-99 saw Beastie Boys and Metallica in Oregon.

    In 2000/2001(can't remember exactly) went to Anger Management Tour-Eminem, Limp Bizkit, and Papa Roach.

    Best one with my 2 older daughters(9 & 7) was Justin Bieber at the Rose Garden 2012. Seriously, not a fan of his music, but that night with my girls was just the best and I look forward to more shows with them.
