You've seen the kings of punk and thrash? You are a lucky lady, Molly.
Metallica was tickets for my 16th birthday and Green Day was Lollapalooza. It was amazing.
I have a new story out! Wish You Were Here A teasing sub may I have pushed too far, but the punishment is oh so sweet.
If you haven't already, please check out my story with leftlingula. A husband and wife rediscovered each other and It all started with one simple word... Nightshade Part 1 & Nightshade: Part 2
I love concerts and I've seen many live performances by great bands and artists. Too many to list. I love the smaller intimate performances as well. I'll travel to see who I want. But, the absolute best one I've ever been to is The Rolling Stones. It was wonderful. I had excellent seats. Those old guys really did an amazing job, there was a moving stage. I'll never forget it.
oh, geez...quite a few through the years. I'll list a few standouts; Billy Joel, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jethro Tull (multiple times), the Grateful Dead, String Cheese Incident, Harry Conick Jr., Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, Led Zeppelin, Jefferson Airplane, Bonnie Raitt, John Prine (multiple times), John Hiatt, John Mellencamp, The Band, Dylan (multiple times), Poco, Bob Seger, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Eddie Harris, Maynard Ferguson, Sheryl Crow, Santana, the Association, Blood, Sweat and Tears, the Turtles, the Young Rascals, Melody Gardot, Los Amigos Invisibles, Al Green, Rod Stewart, B.B.
