Last night I had a great time out with some girlfriends, we drank (yes, even I tried my first ever Cosmo - thanks Megan!), we laughed, we toasted Suz's birthday and Julie's (we miss you!!!) and the question came up about first and best concerts. And I didn't know (but I was close I guessed my 2nd as my first, had to laugh when I was reminded of my very first concert), but the truth is I don't remember my past very well and I need some nudging and reminders. So this morning I dug out my "box of memories" and pulled out all my concert tickets in there and this is what I've got in chronological order ('cause I'm anal like that). Also at the end is a couple of concerts I know I saw but the ticket stubs are MIA.

I know I've also seen:
Kenny Wayne Sheppard at the Fillmore w/ Mark Selby ** Best Concert Ever
Dokken at the Paramount - reunion tour
Nickelback at Fiddlers Green
Areosmith at Fiddlers Green
Van Halen w/ Sammy Hagar
I feel like I've seen the Scorpions a million times but maybe cause the were opening acts and I remember that Great White opened for someone.
I know there's more but my stash of ticket stubs nor my memory are revealing them to me this morning.

I had to go back and read the list again...because I was sure that Kennyn Wayne Shepard instead said Kanye West!
Definitely a different concert alltogether.
Great list...mine is more like Billy Idol, B52s, U2, Ricky Martin (with my MIL!) and of course, the Wiggles three times...
Oh...and Rod Stewart. Rod was awesome!
As you prolly guessed, mine are all country and some Chicago thrown in for added flavor. Also an Eric Clapton since he's hubby's favorite.
Glad you jumped right back in. I was thinking this morning that if you were having difficulty finding a subject to write about, you could start with your mountain bike ride -- why you did it and why you think you lost that battle (whatever).
