And yes, S&M2 was pretty damn great. It's something special being at a show with only fanclub members. The energy was INSANE.

Dad was a music guy - I was going to concerts while I was still in single digits. If only I hadn't been flat broke for a decade, I could have gone to so many more!

And I can't believe I forgot to mention BB King. The stories he told while on stage - just as entertaining as the music.

Rock Hall 25th Anniversary concert, night 2. It was pretty great. I got to see Aretha sing Respect, Jerry Lee Lewis todder out to play & sing Great Balls of Fire, and goddamn Buddy Guy. And that version of Because The Night was magic. (And Metallica and The Rolling Stones and U2 are my favorite bands, so that was all just icing on the cake.)

I got to see Prince, too. It was the Musicology tour, so he'd already stopped playing most of his 80s hits by then, but that man was so goddamn talented he could have sat there and tuned his guitar for a couple hours and I would have been elated. Purple Rain live - there is nothing in the world like it.

Oh, and Springsteen's Ghost of Tom Joad tour. Amazing! 3 hours of the man and his guitar, just two very short breaks and the rest blowing our minds.

Celine Dion - fantastic production values, voice of a god on high. Wasn't super into her at the time, still had a fucking amazing time at the show, which cemented for me that she was a goddamn marvel.

Beach Boys when they toured without Brian Wilson. Night two of Metallica S&M 2. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Mike Campbell, my god. U2 at Aloha Stadium. Guns N Roses opening for Aerosmith.

I can't choose. There are too many. So much great music!
