The title says it all.
It's a boring morning. I was just checking out the "Friday Night Music" thread, & it got me to thinking about singers/bands that I saw in concert, in my younger days.
Thought it might be an interesting non-hunting thread, to see what concerts everyone has seen over the years.

Tanya Tucker...(2 times)
Keith Whitley...(opened for Reba)
Reba McEntire...(Great show)
King Kobra...(opened for KISS)
Merle Haggard...(Small venue/great show! I sat in front row center, about 10 ft from Hag. Got to go onto his bus afterwards, & meet him. Spent about 30 min. chatting.)

I have only been to one concert in my life and I honestly cant tell you who all was there. The girl I was seeing at the time wanted to go to Yallapalooza which is an all country concert and there was like 15 people playing it. They were all big names 12 years ago when we went but I couldnt begin to tell you who any of them were. Dont like country music now and didnt like it then. Things we do to please our ladies.
