Good job, Stray.
Got me to thinking of shows I've been too.
I remember my first real concert was in grade school when I went to see the Osmonds in like 1975 or 1976.
Saw The Police on the Synchronicity Tour.
Saw Culture Club.
Saw Billy Joel on the Nylon Curtain tour.
Saw Harry Connick at the Orpheum here in Memphis.
Saw Edie Brickell and New Bohemians there too.
Saw Indigo Girls there too.
Saw the Go-Gos at the Mud Island Amphitheatre (INXS was the opening act!)
Saw Terence Trent D'Arby at a standing room only gig in a ballroom at the Peabody.
Saw Rush on the Moving Pictures tour.
Saw Journey.
Saw B-52's in Nashville.
Saw Cheap Trick. (At the same festival, saw a great band from the '80's I doubt anyone will remember: Split Enz)
Went to Lollapallooza in '90 and saw Arrested Development (and can't tell you much more than that as my memory of that is spotty at best)
Saw Prince 3 times: Purple Rain tour (mind-blowing for me at 18), Lovesexy tour (it was in the round, he drove a Thunderbird on stage, had a couple of musical interludes during which he let the band jam and he shot basketball) and then saw him again 1997.
Saw U2 in the Liberty Bowl also in 1998, possibly the greatest show I've ever seen. They sang all their greatest hits and the whole audience sang along with nearly every song and when 62,000 people sing In The Name Of Love, it's pretty powerful.
And one time, I saw Stevie Ray Vaughn play in a bar on Beale Street after hours. (I wish I hadn't been so young, dumb and drunk to realize what I was seeing.)
