Rob Thomas
Edit 02/08/10 I saw Rob Thomas in December due to a change in his schedule. The opening bands changed to Ryan Star. He was ok but I was disappoint that OneRepublic and Carolina Liar where unable to attend.
I'm sure it counts as a concert in the purest sense but we saw British commedian Eddie Izzard in January
I have tickets to see Train in March.
Edit 04/07/10 Train was great, no opening act but they made up for it.
Now have tickets for Russell Brand, Lady GaGa and Green Day again :) with AFI opening
Edit 07/06/10 We have now see Russell Brand...very funny and Jimmy Fallon also very funny.
Lady Gaga is done and dusted and next up is Keane and then Green Day..again.
Edit 01/26/11 Keane was amazing again as usual. Fran Healy opened for them. He is the lead singer for Travis and is touring a solo project. I really enjoyed him as well. Also opening for Keane was Ingrid Michealson
Green Day was AMAZING. They know how to entertain an audience for hours.. and hours.
We went to the House of Blues and saw Say Anything, Motion City Soundtrack and another band who's name I have forgotten. MCS was the only one we enjoyed.
Next up is Elton John.. I can't wait.
Edit 03/27/11
Saw Elton John and Leon Russell.
Just saw Jeff Beck
Augustana

Coming up
Train with Maroon 5 and Gavin DeGraw [opening]

David Bowie! He is beyond amazing. What year did you see him in?
Hey! Look at you, pretty impressive, hope you liked the Bravery concert, and can't believe you were at a Robbie Williams concert in DF, me too...!
HI Heather, welcome... I don't know what year I saw Bowie but it was the '70's sometime.
Fer, what is DF? Where are you from. A few friends and I flew in just for the concert.
The Bravery was good as an opening band for Green Day but GD blew them away.
your list made me think of what mine would be. first concert-Bobby sherman! i was 12 i think. My list is very eclectic. Guess Who, neil diamond, Chicago, earth wind & fire, kansas, nsync twice, (wuth teenager haha)tim mcgraw and faith hill, frank sinatra and wayne newton, huey lewis, beach boys, i know there's more. we are not far apart in age but my list seems so...dated.
To have seen Frank Sinatra would have been amazing. My 20 yo daughter loves him. I have always wanted to see Wayne Newton but been laughed at.
Eclectic is the best way.. keeps it interesting.
Thanks and welcome rosie.

my best friend at the time (i think it was 1980) was a huge frank fan, and he was appearing at a ronald regan fundraiser, so we got tickets and went. (and we werent even slightly politically inclined) we werent planning to stay for wayne, but we did, and he was UNREAL. hahaha danke Schoen. we were in our 20's and by far the youngest people there, but it was so great. i am glad to have been able to see him (them)
