    depeche mode. My babysitter took me.
    Great babysitter! Did your parents know or did she sneak you out when they were away?

    Rush - 1994 Counterparts tour, May 6th @ the Forum in MTL

    Just saw them again last Sunday in Montreal. Best live band period!

    I've seen them about 18 times - just saw them in Atlanta. Can't argue with your statement!

    I have seen rush live twice. I have never seen so many eligible bachelors in my life. I swear I was the only lady present. Fun times!

    I played in a Rush cover band for about 7 years!

    My best friend won tickets to a rock concert through a radio station . I don't recall the name but it was insane. Left the place dripping in beer. I also experienced my first and last mosh pit.

    Tom T. Hall. 1980 at the Greensburg High School Auditorium. I was five years old. I got a hat.
    All my childhood memories smell like tomato plants and sounds like Tom T Hall.

    Embarrassing enough, I went to see Jack Wagner at the Warner Theater in DC with my older sister (she was in love with him). Roseanne Barr (pre-Roseanne show) opened for him, told really inappropriate jokes for the age group that was there and actually got booed off the stage.

    When the Angels Sing: A benefit concert for Social Distortion's Dennis Danell.

    Pennywise opened and people tore up the front rows, I climbed down and over people and crowdsurfed to the front, had a blast. I was 14.

    Skinny Puppy with Ministry in October, 1988 at old 9:30 Club, F Street, NW or was it Charlie Sexton?? I can't remember, which means that I'm feeling mighty old.

    My first non-paid concert: PETA /Animal Rights Festival in Washington, D.C. with B-52s, 10,000 Maniacs, and the no-show Nina Hagen. Ah, those were days.
