All the Cconcerts you can ‘Remember’ Attending?


Despite my age of 24 I am a fan of music from older generations I have made it a goal to see and hear all the pioneers of the music history while I still can … Before artists stop performing ..touring ..or pass on to Rock and Roll Heaven. Another mantra of mine is to see as much variety as possible. While I have not had the opportunity to see any of these classic rockers in their prime I have been more than thankful to be their audience and have taken something away from every performance.

Making a list and seeing it on paper brought back great memories and emotions! What shows have you seen so far in your lifetime ?
