    For the experience, California Jam in 1974 was one of my favorites. Rare Earth, Earth, Wind & Fire, The Eagles, Seals & Crofts, Black Oak Arkansas, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Emerson, Lake & Palmer played. It was a lot of fun. Went with three other Marines.

    In 1976, I saw ZZ Top with Blue Oyster Cult, Johnny Winter, Edgar Winter & Rory Gallagher at Angel Stadium. That was a great concert too.

    In total, I've been to over 800 concerts in my life. The very first one was in Fresno. BB King. The opening act was Janis Joplin.

    The last one I went to was Sammy Hagar in August of 2013.

    You win! :drinker:

    so many to choose from. But it's a toss between The Dropkick Murphys concert I went to last year and The Black Keys/Foo Fighters the year before. I rocked my face off at both. Def need to go to some concerts this year.

    I saw tone loc at the swamp in fort walton beach. And yes, it was recently. LMAO!

    I also saw 2 live crew back in 01 and some hole in the wall bar in pensacola. I'm pretty sure they had the same dancers from the 90s. LOL

    Paul McCartney - Safeco Field in Seattle, June 2013. This was an AMAZING 3 hours, and when all the living members of Nirvana came out on stage and played several songs with him at the end? Well, I about lost it.

    Runners up: Ringo Starr's All Starr Band (totally fun, Chateau Ste Michelle in 2012), Roger Waters doing The Wall (Tacoma Dome in 2010 then Rose Arena in 2012).

    I love music and concerts.

    Metallica & Ted Nugent, Detroit NYE 1999~>2000
    I was at this show too (at the Silverdome)....Kid Rock was the first act (and he's always great)

    Way too many shows to choose from, but the top older shows are the Eagles (Hell Freezes Over tour) and a small Crosby Stills & Nash show around 1999 or so.

    I also saw P!NK twice last year, and she really puts on a great show!

    I also went to Black Sabbath (with Ozzy) last summer, and that was pretty cool,....he sounded great :smokin:
