Re: What Are Old Musicians You've Gone To See?

First concert I went to was Three Dog Night.  Then in Las Vegas I saw Liza Minelli and Jimmy Dean.  That's when the shows were free with a 2 drink minimum.  Longggg time ago.  Oh yeah, Diana Ross and the Supremes too.

Saw Barry Manilow, Oak Ridge Boys, and Air Supply a couple of times.  First time I went to Neil Diamond show the tickets were $8!  Saw him too many times to count.

I paid $160 to see Paul McCartney.  Billy Joel put on a wild concert in his youth.  He was cute with lots of curly hair, and ran around, jumped on his piano.  Elton John just kinda sits there drinking diet coke, singing his songs from a teleprompter.  At the Cher concert she spent more time changing outfits and showing old movie clips than she did singing.  I've seen Garth Brooks many times, and he's my favorite showman.
