'Morning!
I was looking at Vals blog this morning and saw the post where she listed all the great music acts she had seen in concert...... I thought I would take the baton from her and run with it by attempting to list the bands I have seen live..... I rarely go to concerts anymore but I used to really enjoy the concert experience...... long lines, pricey beer, screaming, headbanging, riots in the men's room. WOOT!
The first concert I ever saw was Johnny Cash with my parents in 1979..... the first concert I ever saw sans parents was the Police in 1981........ I have seen so many great shows over the years but I find myself less interested in going these days cuz I'm old and cranky and the DVD concert experience suits me nicely.... so I will try to remember everyone I have seen but I will prolly forget one or two!

Joe King Carasco
