What was your first concert? I believe it was Humble Pie
Most recent? Poison, last week
One you really want to see, but have not? Let me think about that, I have seen A LOT!
Most you've ever paid for tickets? Actually not too much maybe 125.00
Dumbest thing you've ever done to GET tickets? I did camp out once, from about 4 in the morning, not too bad.

I'm ashamed to say I saw a teen band - then again, I was 15, so I guess it's not so bad!


The Smashing Pumpkins played nearby on Wednesday. They're one of my FAV. bands - and I've never seen them play live. Unfortunately, by the time I found out they were coming, most of the tickets had been sold, and what was left had outrageous prices that I couldn't afford. Oh well

A good one was back in Jersey on a New Years Eve when I saw Billy Joel at the Garden in NYC. That had to be in the 80's. Another was Led Zeppelin.... Emerson, Lake & Palmer at the Garden. Then I saw The Allman Brothers at some outdoor concert in West Jersey...I stood right in front of Greg by the stage. That was cool. Also Black Sabath and another Ozzie Concert later in the early 90's at Brendan Byrne. Oh! and Pink Floyd at the Passaic Theatre..3rd row! Saw the Beach Boys there too! That was in the 70's. Also I saw one of the ...they were Albino...(forget his name) Johnny Winters White Trash! up close at a concert at some NY college in the 70's. Lots of others...my cousin was a walking Ticketron! Also took my son to see Poison years ago. The most recent one I saw was George Michael in Tampa at the St. Pete Times Forum.....what a place to see a concert! Beautiful and small. And George Michael was great! Only 3 levels besides the floor seats. They had these bar lounges in there where you could get mixed drinks. They had Carvel, Outback and many others. You could take all your food and drinks to your seats. On the outside of the place they had a big Tiki Bar where you could sit and get drinks before going in....I was sooo impressed! I will be going back to see more artists there! They had built in cupholders and trays to take your food in! The best place ever. On the way back we stopped at the HUGE, beautiful Hard Rock Cafe Casino/Hotel!
