I bought R some tickets for his birthday to see Elton John and Billy Joel in concert in November, so we're going to see them tomorrow. Huh? Well it's because Elton John got sick and the concert got rescheduled. Should be really good, I hope. First concert I've been to, seriously, since John Denver back in the late 70's or early 80's. What's the best concert you've ever been to?

Well, I saw an Elton John impersonator last weekend...but that isn't the best show I've ever been to, although it is relative to the discussion.

But the BEST show....

Summer of 1983, Mesker Music Amphitheater in Evansville Indiana.

Neil Young.

Solo.

Big full moon rising behind the stage, and Neil with his harmonica and acoustic guitar playing for three solid hours.

A little piece of Heaven to me.happy

AND WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO WITH DAWN?lol

In all my 25 years of existence here on Earth, I have only been to one concert. I was 10 then and this artist named Eva Santos (filipina) had a concert in my proviunce because her niece happened to be going to the same school as I was. Most of the people who went there went to the same school.

I really couldn't say if it was best considering the lack of anything to compare it to.happy

I've never been to that sort of concert before.

I've been to symphony orchestras, and male voice choirs. The only other concerts I've been to were by the Travellers, a Gospel group which travelled Australia and New Zealand. My son performed with them for a year. That would have to be the best concert I've attended, followed by school concerts in which my sons and grandchildren took part.

Where is my purple Dawn? I didn't like that one when you first started using it, but it became "you" and I miss it. Oh well, if this is going to stay, so be it.

PS I forgot to say "enjoy yourselves and enjoy the company"


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24241)   ranked 46 out of 8,272 in listening to music  2 years ago

I've been to the opera and the ballet and lots of musicals, but it's been quite some time since I've been to this sort of concert.

Purple Dawn may be back, we shall see!

I have only been to the one that Hank 3 done. I had a blast. I want to go to some more but for the life of me I just haven't had the time since. The one I went to is not near as big as the one you guys are going to but I look forward to going to a big one one day.


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24241)   ranked 46 out of 8,272 in listening to music  2 years ago

He's Hank Williams Jr's son. He actually started out metal as a rebellion type thing but has since went into the country scene too. Do check him out. Let me know what you thinklol

Hope you have a good time dawnaldthumbup Elton John and Billy Joel, although not my cup of tea personally, are two VERY talented performers.

As for me, the best concert I have ever been to was Daft Punk's Alive concert back in 2007. Me and a couple of friends who are also big fans of this musical duo experienced the most thrilling concert we have ever been to in our lives. The atmosphere was practically electrichave a nice dayhave a nice day

I would have to say it was two different concerts with both Elton John and Billy Joel. I saw them in New York. I can't remember the years exactly but I think one was in the 80's and the other in the 90's. They were so good, what a show they put on. They performed together and separately. It was two of the best concerts I had ever seen. I'm sure you will enjoy the concert, have fun.

Hello, Dawn. Love the new avatar, although I'll miss the purple frock. I went to see Don Williams about 25 years ago, and he was excellent.

I used to go to a lot of concerts in the 1960's, to see British groups such as the Troggs, Gerry and The Pacemakers, the Searchers, etc. One of the best of the lot was a Tamla Motown special, with Stevie Wonder, the Supremes, the Four Tops,
Marvin Gaye and Martha and The Vandellas. It was great.Stevie Wonder was still quite young, but he had a fantastic voice even then.

These days, concerts are out of my price range. I'd like to see the Eagles live - my brother saw them last year and he's still talking about it.


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24241)   ranked 46 out of 8,272 in listening to music  2 years ago

Yeah, concert tickets are pretty outrageous these days...

Hope u enjoy the concert. I haven't been to a concert in years either. I guess my favorite was when i went to see the Platters , years ago.


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24241)   ranked 46 out of 8,272 in listening to music  2 years ago

I would have liked that too, actually!

That should be great! Hope you have a good time.

I've been to a few concerts in my life. When I was a kid I saw the 3 remaining Monkees. I saw the New Kids On The Block. A popular teenage group in the early 90's called Kris Kross. The local hip hop station does a yearly concert jam thing and I went one year and saw among others, Rob Bass and Shaggy. Then the country station did one and I saw Blake Shelton and Buddy Jewel among others.

The best concert I've been to though was a bit over a year ago we won tickets to see Counting Crows and Maroon 5. That was the first time I'd ever really been to a rock concert, and wow! I was really amazed at how hard the musicians worked. I mean they were sweating their butts off but they didn't miss a beat, and they were working it like crazy! I was blown away by the whole thing, I mean we got a really good show.

I tried to win Daughtry tickets about a month ago.. never got through though :(


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24241)   ranked 46 out of 8,272 in listening to music  2 years ago

Daughtry tickets would have been pretty cool!
