I'm still a rocker (always will be) but I forgot to mention that I did have an opportunity to catch Frank Sinatra Jr. in Atlantic City once. I went reluctantly...but was pleasantly surprised. Surprised he could actually sing and surprised I liked and knew most of his songs. OK...well, actually they were his dad's songs...but he was pretty good. If you closed your eyes on "New York, New York" you'd think Poppa was in da house!

Saw Aerosmith again since I originally posted here...but am still trying to convince Mr. Lixy that he just might enjoy a Bon Jovi concert...lol! Still NEED to see U2!

P.S. Eddie Money died recently, didn't he Lil? Did you get to see him beforehand?

Offspring they put so much energy into the crowd I had a girl on my shoulders and was still jumpin up and down

STP was so fun at 39 I was up in the crowd with a bunch of young guys and when they played dead and bloated I started a huge mosh pit. the kids thought i was crazy

The Special One!

The only person of any 'celebrity' I've seen in concert was Billy Joel, back during the Storm Front tour (which I think was 1990).

I've seen some other bands, but they wre all the 'college band' type and probably not known outside Indiana.

Musicals I've seen more of, in the last 14-15 years or so:
Phantom 3 times
Les Miz once
and most recently
Miss Saigon

Otherwise 'celeb' encounters have been brief things, and sometimes I've walked away with autographs (I think I talked about this in another thread...)

I've seen
Kaos
Swollen Members
Nelly Furtado
The Trews
Three Days Grace
Crush
Default
Nickelback
