Best concert I ever went to is Prince's Dirty Minds tour in 1980. Man, his lyrics were filthy, he wore no clothes, the music was fantastic (the album is still my favorite) and this was all well before he was big. And I was young enough to be pickin' up what he was puttin' down. LOL. Next favorite: every George Clinton concert I've ever gone to, and there have been a few. Next favorite: the Rolling Stones, Denver in February of last year. Ridiculous energy, the music was fantastic and the Stones are true entertainers. Great, great concert.

Edited to add: the concert I want to see more than anything is Bette Midler, but Colossus hates her with a passion and I likely won't get to go.

I saw Sarah Brightman last weekend and she puts on a hell of a show. What a voice.

The other one that sticks out in my mind was Simon & Garfunkle a couple of months back. Seeing them perform together was like a time-travel experience. Way cool.

Another one I still think about is Bob Dylan. Saw him last year sometime. I know he tours so much that probably everybody who lives in the US has seen him. He doesn't talk to the audience; in fact he pretty much ignores them. He just gets out there and sings for his allotted time and when he's done, he's gone. If his music wasn't so good I might have felt like, well, like there was no foreplay. Or something.

Jimmy Buffett (I am a Parrothead!)
Bob Seger
George Jones
Ricky Martin

My goal is to get to an Aerosmith concert - I love Steven Tyler

But the ultimate concert was The Stones, Clemson, SC in the 80s. Awesome show!

Hippy if you don't go to the Prince concert, you're crazy. He says--threatens--it's the last time he's doing his old songs.

I'm going to see Prince April 25th. I have first row seats right off the floor. Should be awesome since he's going to be center stage. I can't wait!

I'm also going to see Madonna July 28. I saw her on the Drowned World Tour and she was fantastic!

My friends and I call each other from concerts all the time! I've actually listened to an entire Goo Goo Dolls concert over the phone from California. Lucky for me my friend has free long distance on her cell phone and she didn't mind holding the phone for the whole concert!

When I saw Joan Baez & Bob Dylan at the Greek Theater in LA in the 60's, I was not impressed. But when she said at the candlelight vigil in front of SF City Hall after Harvey Milk & Moscone were shot was special. You could hear a pin drop. Then we all sang Amazing Grace while holding candles.

Just saw Clay Aiken in Sacramento. The concert was just fair until he entered the hall. The energy in the place exploded. Even when not singing, his charisma is riveting. Still recovering from it. Sigh.

Gino Vanelli, 1978. Can't remember the name of the tour, but it was my favorite. John Denver in the Round - everyone knew every word to every one of his songs. It was like an 18,000 person sing-along, it was great. Same thing with Mellencamp at IU stadium. I had more sex as a result of the Earth Wind and Fire concerts. But Gino Vanelli is still my favorite concert.
