And if so, what is the best one you have been to?

I went to the Neil Diamond concert with Beautiful Filly in Toronto a few years ago…

It was too bad tho, I got sick during that concert and had to be taken to the hospital, but it is still the best concert and only BIG concert I have ever been to.

She can tell you more about it if you are interested…

I have been to small concerts with Kitty Wells, Stompin Tom,
and my favourite western singer Conway Twitty. Who I was on stage with doing some fill in with someone from our group as I played a bit of guitar…nothing special and can’t sing worth a crap!

Here is my fav Conway Twitty song…

So how about sharing about the concerts or plays you have been to.

Oh, I also saw Cats and Phantom of the Opera. Loved them.

I have been to a few over the years. My first in '82, I flew to Las Vegas for a week with girlfriends, wanted to see Tom Jones on the strip. I did, it was OK.
I’ve also seen Barry Manilow, Paul Anka and my favorite was in '96…would you believe MC Hammer!? I loved that one…Before you stick your nose up, listen to the energy this guy sells. (This is ME) I love all kinds of music, as you can tell.

The only one I can recall was back in the late 60’s/early 70’s.
We went to see the Beatles down in London.
Couldn’t hear them for screaming girls!

Blue, you are so lucky going to see Neil Diamond (swoon :-)), I have loved that man all my life.

Conway Twitty was one of my favourites singers years ago.

My favourite song of his was “It’s Only Make Believe”

I haven’t been to any big concerts though.

I hear you Mups…you were so lucky to see the Beatles also. I would have loved that…

He hugged me Mags…:smiley: I was thrilled. He could really sing “It’s Only Make Believe”…I was young, can’t remember my age, but sometime in my 30’s I think.

Oh Right Now, that is awesome, Tom Jones, Wow, I loved him…
I hadn’t heard MC Hammer, but I just played a bit of your video and I can see what you mean by the energy. It is great. I am going to put it back on and listen to it all the way through.

I went to Vegas lots of times, but never went to see any of the shows (foolish I know), as my nose was always just in the gambling, hours and hours of it…

11

Oh yes Mags, I was on the stage with him …he hugged me and I nearly fell over…I’ll never forget that hug, it was the only one I ever got from anyone famous…

12

Oh my gosh Eliza, you have been to all these concerts, how wonderful. I will play them in a few minutes, I know who Billy Ocean is, but the other two I don’t know…

13

Beautiful Filly has been to an Elvis Concert…but I will leave that for her to tell you about…lucky her, I loved Elvis…:smiley:

14

Aah, thanks for that Blue, I never tire of hearing that man.

I think I might become a geriatric Neil Diamond groupie. :lol:

15

HAHAHA, I know what you are saying…do want another song? I’ll get one…

16

I hear you, and know what you mean. I used to sit at blackjack tables for hours…:cool:

I’ve been to close to a hundred . Some of the best were Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, MaDonna, The Eagles, Rush, Heart, Rush , Fleetwood MAC , Chuck Mangioni, Chicago, Lighthouse, Santana, alanis morrisette, Neil Young, Peter Gabriel, ELO, Mike and the Mechanics…

So many that I can’t remember them all but I really enjoy music very much ; especially the energy of concerts. Now the audiences would be overwhelming for me but I used to go. Most of the concerts were seen with a large group of friends .

I sort of miss that type of thing now.
