edna Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Hi, Fidelity! Welcome to songfacts, the best site ever! I´ve also been to lots of concerts, but I couldn´t write them down, I just don´t remember... but I have a pretty collection of some 100, more or less, tickets and invitations, as I worked as a rock journalist for many years. Plus all the others, to which I didn´t have nothing but a journalist card or a backstage card... I guess I must have seen about 2000 concerts or so...My first concert was Santana in 1972... my last one was David Byrne, in 2003... I´ll try to make a list as soon as i can... Unfortunately, I never saw: Beatles Pink Floyd Who Cars Talking Heads CSN&Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Savatage (5x)1st time in 1982 last time 1989 I had a roommate who took drum lessons from the drummer of Savatage. That's a pretty diverse list you got there, fidelity. Kick ass and rock on. Welcome to the asylum. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
