    About 2 weeks ago I went to a REO Speedwagon, Styx, Def Leppard concert. I was SWEET!!!!!!!!!! REO, and Styx opened, they both sounded good.

    Def Leppard came on and just Rocked the house!!!! Good time. They've gotta new album coming out in 2008. Suppose to be called Songs from the Sparkle Lounge. Doesn't sound all that sweet but hoping its gunna be good!!! ;)

    Saw a fairly good movie about the band once, who would ever have imagined a one armed drummer, ANIMAL.................................
    Rush @ Memorial Auditorium circa 1977 was a memorable concert for me, and Molly Hatchet in the park during Bikefest in Leesburg FLA circa 2004, got to talk with the band after the show, hell yeah.

    Concerts are great fun. Rock music was meant to heard live and LOUD. :tas
    My first concert was The Boxtops (lead singer was some guy named Joe Cocker) and The Grass Roots. Since then I've seen tons including:
    The Califonia Jam (1974) w/ over 200,000 people
    Johnny Winter (4 times) He Rocks!!!
    ZZ Top (3 times)
    Reo Speed Wagon (3 times)
    Deep Purple (3 Times)
    Black Sabbath (3 times)
    Blue Oyster Cult (3 times) It was at the Paramount in Portland, Ore., where they recorded some of "On Your Feet Or On Your Knees" I swear you can hear me yelling on the LP. :D Even met the lead singer and guitar player out back.
    B.B.King (2 times)
    George Thorogood (2 times) Drank beer with him at a small venue, in a tavern in Portland.
    Alice Cooper (2 times)
    Alvin Lee (2 times) once with Ten Years Later, not TYA but very good.
    Judas Priest (2 times)

    augie, Alvin Lee toured with a 3 man power band called Ten Years Later, after TYA broke up. I think they only put out one album. You will find them mentioned here:
