[Maureen]

You saw Queen!!! That must of been amazing!!
I wouldn't of thought you were a Donny Osmond fan Maureen :lol:

Queen were fantastic!! I won tickets from our local radio station and had to travel to the NEC in Birmingham (quite the hike from where we are!!) Worth every mile

You're right - I certainly wouldn't put Donny Osmond in my top 10 (let's be honest - top 20) favourites but my friend was over from Canada for 3 weeks and she loves him. So, I bit the bullet and bought 2 tickets to see him as a surprise for her. I left clues next to her breakfast every morning until she figured it out - took her about 4 days!! Anyway, we got the bus through to Glasgow, she was excited fit to burst and I was like "I hope I don't see anybody that knows me"!!!!!!

He was REALLY good!! For someone that's more Aerosmith oriented (and they NEVER come to Scotland) that's a huge statement!!

Everytime I went to a Wrestling show I had good seats. I also have only been to 2 house shows and that was when I was really young. Every other time has always been either a Televised Event or a PPV.

I am a huge Football fan. I however have only been to 3 football games(not counting games I played)

[kerst]

Different style for sure but I went to André Rieu about four weeks ago in Amsterdam. He is a violinist and currently on his "world Stadium Tour" called A Viennese romantic night. Gorgeous show !! Absolutely loved it ! Very romantic. It's mostly music from Strauss but comes with a whole show bringing you straight into Vienna.


Am I the only one who has been to Michael Jackson ???? It was ten years ago :-). Doubt I would go see him now

[kelly ann]

Ive seen a lot of bands but im still struggling to remember them all!!

Manic Street Preachers x10
Morrissey (singer from The Smiths)
Motorhead (didnt like them much)
Catatonia (welsh group)

Ive heard The Who and Elton John from the Stadium down the road from me so I dont know if that counts, ha ha ha ha!!!
Take That (in the early 90's)

Intresting facts: Spencer Davis from the Spencer Davis group is from my area. Bonnie Tyler is only from up the road too. My mother's cousin knew the members from Badfinger, who are also from my town.

[RadioJonD]

Do you have any ICP Christmas CDs MrsSoup? I know that some of their early Christmas lps/cds are collector items.

[MrsSoup]

No, can't say that I do. I didn't even know they made Christmas CD's. They don't seem like the type of band to do that. LOL

[RadioJonD]

Yeah, makes one wonder doesn't it? All their CDs including Christmas has the parental discretion seal. I'm not sure anything by ICP is played much on the radio.

[Annette1990]

Gosh that's about all I can think of for now. I don't recall half of the opening bands of the ones I have listed...it's been a long time. I'm sure I have ticket stubs, t-shirts and all that still in storage somewhere!! But that's to name a few...will update if I can think of anyone I may have forgotten about.
Ok updating...I forgot until I was listening to Sirius today but I have also seen Tesla...more to follow as they come to me or I happen to go to storage and find the box with all my souvenirs.

[MrsSoup]

Yeah, makes one wonder doesn't it? All their CDs including Christmas has the parental discretion seal. I'm not sure anything by ICP is played much on the radio.


I've never heard one of their songs on the radio, so I bet not. It's pretty hard core stuff.

[Ms_Speedy_Elf]

I saw John Cougar Mellencamp.

Also saw Mark Chesnut, Ken Mellons ,Aaron Tippon and Laurie White at a concert .

Oh yea...also attended Winter Jam last year and saw Steven Curtis Chapman,Jeremy Camp,Sanctus Real,Hawk Nelson and New Song

[Santa's Helper]

I'm not big on going to concerts but, I saw:
Elton John
Hank Williams Jr. with Aaron Tippon
Kenny Chesney
Sammy Kershaw at the county fair and John Anderson also,
and I won tickets to see Prince but, I didn't have anybody to take me to pick them up (I was in 6th grade) so I missed out on that concert.

That's all that I can think of.

[melindasue]

Backstreet Boys
Bill Joel, Elton John
Kelly Clarkson
Spice Girls
Dropkick Murphys
Carrie Underwood
Jingle Ball 08-Katy Perry, Jessie McCartney, Lady Gaga, David Archuletta, Ne-yo, and more were there too...

[Christmasstar]

I do not get to go to stuff like that. We have the world famous Shakespearean festival here in town, but I did not even get to go to a show there this year. :-?
I did once see Paul Gross in the grocery store. He was here in town in one of the plays. I was shopping and walked past an isle deep in thought looking for something. I stopped, backed up and looked again and sure enough it was him I saw. He winked at me, and foolishly, I just smiled back and kept on shopping. My daughters were a tad upset with me that I did not get his autograph (I asked where I should have had him sign, my shopping list?!)

[sgrover]

Wow, some of you really get around! I've been to a couple of concerts in my day:

Charlie Pride (with my parents back in the early 70's)
