"The mind is alert but the body forgets."

Systems

I'm old and have seen too many and still go to as often as possible. GF has clients that own venues like The Fox, Masquerade, Tabernacle, Center Stage......we get VIP and all that crap. Hell I saw Rush when they were on thier first album. Opened for Mott The Hoople, who opened for 38 Special, who opened for Blue Oyster Cult way back in the mid 70's.

Latest was Twiztid...son's 16th birthday. Yeah...I was down in the mosh pit for a little while.

Way cool thread hearing some of the concerts other forumites have been to. Some great names in there. No one saw the Doors, eh? That would have been a good one. I can lay claim to an Elvis concert - didn't see anyone mention that. Also Van Halen a few times always GREAT. And a Stones concert with 10th row seats - way cool. Only a few others for me. Some of you have just been to some great ones. Seeing the names of some of those bands brought back some memories. Chris
