honorable mention - rem - the green tour in slc, and james taylor - in kansas city.

1. Donny and Marie Osmond (just because it was one of my first and I like purple socks!)
2. James Taylor
3. AC/DC--just because most people don't associate me with that type of music...and it's also good for those getting-to-know-you type games when you need something unbelievable (the inflatable devil was unbelievable too! Yikes)
So Delise, the question is whether you have any AC/DC on the Ipod?
My concert list,
1. Smithereens. I was right against the stage, played all three guitars during the course of the concert by out reaching those around me to hit the strings, flipped the feedback speakers out so that they faced us instead of the singer, and jumped up on stage during the last number.
2. Violent Femmes. Jeff was right that this was just a great overall experience. I remember walking around Salt Lake after the concert with my shirt off, drinking a big gulp. Plus I wore the concert shirt over to Angie's house and gave my future father-in-law pause.
3. Oingo Boingo. Down at the dirt palace at the Salt Lake fairgrounds. 9th grade with Gavin some other kid that got pulled back into the mosh pit and spent the rest of the concert in the back. Gavin and I braved the front couple of rows and I can clearly remember a security guard leaning out from the stage, resting his hand on top of my head, and yanking some jerk out of the audience right next to me by his shirt.
Top 3 concerts I never attended. 1 REM Green tour. I had 2nd row seats but I sold them to go to some dance with Angie. Must have sold them to Jeff.
2. Metallica. Every time the came in concert to where I was living it was on a Sunday. How do you explain that to your EQ pres?
3. Nirvana. Thought they would be around a little longer.
