Okay kids...I was thinking about music today and all the amazing concerts I've experienced. The four most amazing are also the four that meant the most to me: Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, KISS and Page, Clapton, Beck and Cocker.
I got to see Elvis with my brother Gary, his wife, and my mother. We were all huge fans of The King, so we were all very excited! Elvis put on a great show! I was very young so I didn't really understand why all the women were swooning and trampling each other to get one of his sweaty scarves. Now I know why!
Back in the late seventies, my brother, John, and I took his son, Johnny to see KISS. The rest of the line-up included Bob Seger, Montrose with Sammy Hagar and Ted Nugent. What a show! KISS did not disappoint and it was a concert that has always been a great memory for me.
I saw Bob Dylan twice, but the most memorable was when my brother, Gary, and I went together to see Dylan and The Grateful Dead. All I can say is AWESOME!
In the 80's I went to a concert that featured a line-up that couldn't be beat: Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Joe Cocker. I have to tell you, I was so excited, I actually cried!
These days, I don't get out to many concerts. But I often think about the bands I got to see and how much fun I had! Tom Petty, AC/DC, Neil Diamond, Phil Collins, Motley Crue, Ozzy, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Cheap Trick, Stevie Nicks, Yes, King Crimson, Elton John. Music does indeed make the world go round!
