ZZ Top, greatest concert ever for me.

Hank Williams Jr. concert. He spend about 30 minutes without his band. He sat on a stool, played his guitar and sang many of his father's songs. Way cool.

From the Christian music front, David Crowder band rocked the house in Nashville.

Oh..I forgot..I saw ZZ Top and The Band..

My son just saw David Crowder and loved it!

I am so happy that my kids have some decent Christian bands to listen to.
Thanks for stopping by, Steve.

oh man, Beverly, I saw Harry Chapin too and he kissed me on the cheek! Pretty cool. Oh and Geoff wants me to tell you he never saw Bob Dylan in concert but in the 9th grade he shot hoops with him in Mr. Finkbein's driveway. He didn't know who he was at the time but found out later evening when he asked someone who that guy was. Oh and my brother also claims to have played backup guitar for The James Gang. Anyone remember them?

I do, Candy. Okay, Geoff wins all the way around...
Hey, Merlin just realized that HEB camp is next weekend so he's gone to try to get everything ready for the week because he is taking Sam. So, we won't be at praise worship. I just got home from work and it probably would be good for me, but I am just pooped!!

Oh, Deanna, I was going to say that I saw Toto a year ago here in Honolulu (tour sponsored by Geritol) - they were great, as always. They played with the Honolulu Orchestra.

And I missed Aimee Mann when she came through six months ago. It was on a Wednesday night - one of three hours in the week I gotta work. Grrrr!

Actually just remember favorite Christian Concert was Rich Mullins. Saw him three times the first and the last were the best. Laguna Hills and San Antonio.

The guys was a gift from God.

By  Scott, at 12:35 AM

Candy..Harry Chapin kissed you on the cheek? wow

Steve..ZZ Top...I couldn't believe that was just 3 guys playing..so good.

Deana..Rick Springfield..that must been a great one.

Scott..your killing me..Toto played with the Honolulu orchestra..

Happytheman..welcome...YES, I bet that was an awesome concert. I remember listening to YES getting ready for school.

Okay guys, I also saw Elvis at the Tarrant County Rodeo..

By  Beverly, at 9:44 AM  

howswede..you saw cher..that's cool!!

By  Beverly, at 5:58 PM  

Next concert is Elvis Costello at the Bass Concert Hall UT.

Scott, I saw Wetton with UK and with Bruford during the One of a Kind tour.

Those UK albums and the Bruford Albums I still spin today. One of a Kind is one of my favorites.

This is a great post Bev... I kept thinking the Yes Tales Concert was awesome then I think when Genesis did the Lamb Lies Down tour with Peter Gabriel doing about three costume changes during Supper's Ready alone. Then seeing Eddie Van Halen just drool watching Steve Hackett play at the Roxy.. Or Allan Holdsworth staying around an extra day to catch Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble.

I ditched the Third Day/DCB concert tonight to hang out with a friend.

By  happytheman, at 7:21 PM  

Cheap Trick still puts on the loudest concerts. Oh by the way did I tell you my hearing is almost gone.

By  happytheman, at 7:23 PM  

Stevie Ray Vaughn..oh man, that would have been awesome. I went out with a couple electric guitar player and he was their idol

When I am talking to students and I don't hear them, that's what I say..."Too many rock concerts!"

By  Beverly, at 8:32 PM  

I never heard of UK?

By  Beverly, at 8:54 PM  

I would give anything to have been kissed by Harry Chapin.

I've seen Elton John three times, the Moody Blues, The Steve Miller Band, the Doobie Brothers, Al Stewart (dream of mine), Chicago, Ronnie Milsap (he didn't see me), and, as far as Christian bands, The Imperials and Andrus Blackwood and Co.

Anyone know them?
