What music concerts have you attended?

I haven't been to many concerts myself. But, I have been to a few different ones.

I have seen the Oak Ridge Boys, Danny & The Juniors, Sha Na Na, Bon Jovi, Nickelback, Lonestar (small festival), Lady Antebellum (small festival), Paul McCartney and next month I am planning on seeing Ringo Starr.

I have seen some smaller, regional cover bands too. Some like, The Mahoney Brothers, Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes, The Fabulous Greaseband, The Soul Cruisers, Decade 8, eleven-eleven and Rain.

Wow, the only ones of these I have heard of are Nickleback, Chemical Brothers, and the Wombats. We are from a different era!!!

I'm taking my daughter to see One Direction in Feb if that counts (however I'll be sitting drinking coffee waiting for them to return after screaming themselves hoarse!!)

I've seen Billy Bragg (several times)
Few obscure Folk bands

Gosh....I haven't lived have I!!

Yep, on Saturday I saw Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band. The 2012 edition of the All Starr Band includes: Ringo Starr - drums, keyboards, vocals; Steve Lukather (Toto) - guitar, vocals; Gregg Rolie (Santana and Journey) - keyboards, vocals; Todd Rundgren (The New Cars) - guitar, percussion, vocals; Richard Page (Mr. Mister) - bass, guitar, vocals; Mark Rivera - saxophone, percussion, vocals; and Gregg Bissonette - drums, vocals.

They played a few Ringo solo hits and a few more Beatles songs and each one of the "other all stars" played a hit song or two from their respective bands as well.

[muttley]

I knew I'd forget some:
Biffly Clyro, Proclaimers, Bryan Adams, Steeleye Span, Katie Melua

Polythenepam, it doesn't matter how many you've seen as long as you have enjoyed them. I do, however, feel sorry for you having to attend One lack of Direction

[moonbeam]

polythenepam, didn't you see Paul McCartney when he was in Philly a couple years ago?

I Wish I Could See Paul McCartney In Concert!

Todd Rundgren (The New Cars) - guitar, percussion, vocals;

How very strange that you put Todd Rundgren's claim to fame as "The New Cars" - when he was famous as "Todd Rundgren" since the early 1970s and is a classic Rock N Roller, probably destined for the Hall of Fame. I guess it is all about the era you know someone in.
