Since I am still on a high from the Goo Goo Dolls concert, I decided to do a TT on some of the concerts I’ve been to over the years. I’m sure this isn’t all of them, but these are the ones I remember. Click on the artist’s name to see a YouTube video of that artist!
1. Rick Springfield – I think I’ve mentioned this before. I was 12. He was awesome!!
2. Corey Hart – Sue me. It was the 80’s.
3. Harry Connick, Jr. – At some point in the 90’s, Eric bought me tickets for my birthday. This man is amazing. Amazing singer. Amazing piano player. Amazing!
4. Sarah McLachlan (twice) – I think I have mentioned before how much I LOVE Sarah. She is my absolute favorite singer. The last time I saw her was when I was 8 months pregnant with Georgia. I will see Sarah every time I have the chance!
5. Dixie Chicks (twice) – I didn’t know who they were until I saw them at Lillithfair in the late 90’s. After seeing them live, I was a fan for life!
6. Sheryl Crow – If you get a chance to see her, you should. She is one person that sounds sooooo much better live than she does on a CD. Incredible voice!
7. Mandy Patinkin – You probably know him from Chicago Hope, Criminal Minds or The Princess Bride, but this guy has an incredible voice and can really belt out a showtune. Plus he went to KU! Plus, at his concert, he did the LINE from The Princess Bride – “Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”
8. Clay Aiken (three times) – Yes, three times. The first two times, he was awesome. The third time was a holiday show, and it was waaaay too bizarre. It was like gay Jesus singing. Still, he has an amazing voice.
9. Kelly Clarkson – She is so sweet, and she has such a big voice. I had a very good time at her concert!
10. Bette Midler – I drug Eric to this concert shortly after we were married. She was great, but it is seriously one of the raunchiest concerts I have ever been to. Dude! She did burlesque!
11. Ricky Martin – This one was not my choice. My friend Amy was in love with Ricky Martin, so I went with her to his concert. I was wowed! This guy can dance. I have never seen a man move his ass like that.
12. Ray Charles – Eric and I saw Ray Charles in Chicago at The House of Blues in 2001. I am so glad we got to see him in person. What an incredible man!
13. Goo Goo Dolls – I have been a fan of theirs since A Boy Named Goo came out in 95. Plus I love Johnny. Eric thinks he is way too pretty, but dude! Have you seen his arms? *drool* I am counting the moments until they come to town again.

This is a great list, and some/most don't really visit Australia ! :(
Oh well, hope you had a great holiday...
Bernie
Our list is up if you want to stop by...
Oh Rick Springfield...I used to *heart* him! lol
Great TT!
I've not even been to thirteen concerts in my life!
Looks like you've had some great times, and I'll bet there's some good stories behind those concerts!
I saw Rick when I was twelve too! lol!! I think Til Tuesday was the opening band...
I am incredibly jealous.
The Goo Goo Dolls are coming to town in September, but I will have JUST moved out of state. Just my luck.
#4, #5, #6, #9....all amazing. I've only been to three concerts: Celion Dion (in Vegas), Cher (in Vegas), and Nickelback.
Ricky Martin is a darling! He's just hot and a wonderful dancer too :)
Happy Thursday!
LOL Corey Hart? Did you wear your sunglasses?
Wow, You have been to a LOT of concerts.
I have only been to two. The Judds-Fianl Concert. And Brooks and Dunn.
I have been to The Opry and seen several country artist preform there. And I liked that atomsphere much better.
Great TT!
I would love to see Harry Connick Jr!!
happy thursday...
Quite a list of concerts, WOW! Your music taste is quite similar to mine and as varied as mine! :) OMG, it's Thursday already! Being off work half of Tuesday and all of Wednesday it feels like Monday today! I gotta get going on my TT for today!
3 pretty good
4 & 5 terrific
7 Mandy is very underrated
9 Heck so is Kelly
13 Must see Goo!
Sheryl was AWESOME!!
Great list! I just saw Dick Tracy the other day flipping channels and saw Mandy's duet with Madonna. My immediate thoughts were: 1. Man, he's great, and 2. He blows Madonna out of the water.
And LOL on the Corey Hart concert. I saw his name and thought for a moment, "That kid from License to Drive and the Lost Boys had a concert?" Of course, I was thinking of Corey Haim. Or Feldman. One of the two. :)
A Goo Goo Dolls concert??? WOOOOO!
Did they play Iris? Of course they did ;)
Glad you´ve had lots of fun!
*psst* Got sore butt muscles! *LOL*
that's a great list.
I've not seen any of these artists in concert. But I wish I was there with ya to watch Ricky Martin shake his moneymaker...
I haven't been to any concerts. I can't stand loud music and crowds. It would be an instant migraine for me. Happy TT.
I'd LOVE to see Sarah...she's AMAZING...I've seen Sheryl Crow and you are right. She is a fabulous singer and entertainer live...would have liked to see Bette at some point too, but not now.
I must've played my Rick Springfield cassette tape 1000 times!!! A great T13 entry
Mama Kelly
Goo Goo Dolls rock. I don't think I've been to 13 shows in my life.
