The Blue Board

Journey Escape tour for first concert.

Best concert was Bruce Springsteen at Soliers Field in August 1985 on Born in The USA Tour. I went to the concert because my girlfriend at the time loved Bruce. Walked out a changed man! Never experienced another concert that moved me that much to be an instant fan immediately.

Hottest women at a show was Def Leppard/Skid Row on Hysteria Tour 1988.

First - Cake and Cheap Trick IIRC at the Tabernacle. Free tickets and ended up leaving early.

Best - John McLaughlin and Chick Corea Five Peace Band at the Variety Playhouse. Two jazz giants playing incredible music.

Runner Up - Allman Brothers in 2005 at Lakewood. Wish I could of seen them w/ Dickey, Oakley and Skydog, but I got Liz Reed, Whipping Post, and Jessica at this show. Good times.

One of my buddies had Randy Rogers and Brooks and Dunn at his ranch. Add an open bar with top shelf liquor. T Boone pickens and Avery Johnson in attendance among others. I was about 2 feet from Dunn. Hard to top that.

1975. Rush Ted Nugent Aerosmith.

one of my good friends who lives in hattiesburgh and is married to a radiologist...her mom grew up in england and moved to ft lauderdale...one thing led to another...basically led zeppelin played at my friends bday party in 1977...my older brother had fix to the 1980 tour...but then john bonham died...epic stories about zeppelin concerts...probably the greatest band of all time.
