Well golly gosh..one name I haven't heard was Bruce Springsteen. We went to see the "Boss" last month and it was an amazing performance! Three non-stop hours of sheer energy (not pantyhose, sorry) and he just turned 60 y/o!!!! Ok, so I took the geezer bus to get there, but glad I went...and I'm not much into concert stuff. BTW, the E-Street band is great also and still together after all these years!
Ok, jazz-wize saw Dave Koz last Dec and he had a bundle of talent with him.....Jonathon Butler, Jeff Golub and others. We really enjoyed that show.
Play-wise, took the family to see "Mama Mia" loved it, especially the last 3 encore numbers (shoot me, I like ABBA). Oh and also saw "Tommy on Broadway, which was beyond neat.
So thats about it, I don't get out much , but years ago I flew Pink Flyod, BeachBoys, Frank Sinatra, Paul Anka...just about any group that needed a ride in the NY area. Sometimes got a back stage pass, but had to be a good girl, sigh
Hugs all

My wife reminded me that we recently saw Chicago and Earth, Wind & Fire at the same concert.

I didn't mention KennyG either. We had floor seats, and Kenny did one number where he walked around the entire floor. Everyone was standing, so no one could really see if you had a floor seat. When he got around to my row, I had an end seat, and remained seated so my wife and others could see around me. Kenny decided to stop walking right there and played for quite a while.

Wow! Memory lane...

USAF Airmen of Note
Doc Severinsen
The Carpenters (X2)
Buddy Rich
Emerson Lake & Palmer
Blood Sweat and Tears (X2, but decades apart)
Canned Heat / Steppenwolf
Count Basie
Bobby Herriot (OK, actually I performed with Bobby Herriot).

Ensembles I heard in my early years in professional recording don't count, and you wouldn't know most of them anyway. Ditto for symphony orchestras and other military bands.

I'm nothing if not eclectic.
