The Offspring, Cypress Hill - 2000
Radiohead - 2002
The Format, Limebeck, Steel Train, Reubens Accomplice - 2007

As well as several radio concerts with tons of people from Blink-182 to Limp Bizkit to Good Charlotte.

I swear I tried, but I think what I did at the concerts has clouded my memory, lol.

I also recall a Van Halen (Sammy) concert in Philly
Bill Joel in Hartford, Ct
and New Kids on the Block (was a date) at some amusement Park.

I wanna see Avril and Gwen Stefani in the very near future somewhere....

Is that better?

Elvis Presley- 1972 Baltimore Civic Center

In the 90's- Ray Davies of The Kinks at the Barns at Wolf Trap-3 times. 3rd time was my birthday and I was front row and he shook hands with people on the right side and started to go back stage and I said "Ray, please! He came back and I told him it was my birthday and he jumped off the stage and gave me a hug and a nice kiss!
The Lovin Spoonful- minus Jon Sabastian- Montgomery county fair grounds
Jon Sabastian-Nissan Pavillion in Manassas, Va- the same summer
