Concerts I've Attended: II

Someone on social media asked what what our first concert.

In my case, that was easy.

Alice Cooper

Yep, I got to hear him perform "School's Out" live. 

I was not worthy.

I got to thinking about other concerts I've attended, and remembered I had once compiled a list.

I have not attended as many concerts as some. And there are groups I wish I had been able to see - America and Creedence Clearwater Revival come to mind. But I did see some great shows. The best was Bruce Springsteen back in the 1970's before he hit it big. And I was at the Summer Jam at Watkins Glen that for a while was in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the largest concert crowd (beating Woodstock!).

I've updated the list with more recent concerts, and tried to put them all in rough chronological order.
