Thank you! Another singer that gives a good show is Harry Connick, Jr. Seen him in Mountain View at the Shoreline Amphitheatre. His father was in the audience and got on stage to sing with his son. Truly wonderful.

One the things I miss about living in the Bay Area is the concerts.

I can see that. We used to live in STL; now we're in the UP of MI. Our headliners here are washed-up country music and rock performers who play at the native-owned casinos. Like names you never heard of. Actually, it was almost as bad when we lived in STL. Elton John did come to town once, and performed in a lovely downtown venue a few years back. I couldn't afford tickets but did join the counter-counter- protesters blocking the WBC who came there to hold up signs about gay. lol Oh, and the Beatles played in the old Busch Stadium in the mid-60s. But I was only 11 or 12 and my parents wouldn't let me go.

I was in my late teens, 17 or 18, when I went to my first concert. The Oakland Coliseum had these multi-band concerts called "Day on the Green". I remember BB King, who of course was great. Funny, I cannot remember anyone else that performed, lol. I also went to a lot of stand-up comedy shows in San Francisco. Good times.

I'm the least judgmental person on JPP and usually never try to stereotype people or try to put them in a box or make some comment based on innuendo, but damn, that sounds like 'Groupie' to me.

Yeah, sure it does. But No. I was far from a groupie. I didn't follow them around going to every show, lol

You're funny Jack.

The first concert I ever saw was some group (I think it was Sugarloaf but cannot find any confirmation of that) that came to our h.s. and performed. I got my first kiss from a boy named Art at that concert. I just asked on my h.s. grad class FB page to see if anyone else recalls.
 
Can you believe that this summer will mark the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock festival? I remember seeing footage of it on the news, my parents muttering about "dirty hippies," being grossed out by the rain/mud/muddy people -- but entralled by the music. Never have met someone who was there. But I expect that the experience was a lot better years down the road than it was at the time. lol

Wow! 50 years! I was 7 when Woodstock happened. My oldest sister was one of those "dirty hippies", lol. I'm not saying that she went to Woodstock, but that she was a hippie. She still is, kind of. I wasn't a fan of the Beatles and not so much a fan of Elvis. As kids, we would play their records on the player and jump up and down making the records skip. What bad kids we were, lol.
