Some of you folks need to get out more often!

I love live music.

Lavay Smith and the Red Hot Skillet Lickers was the last show I attended. Outdoors, on the grass (not a euphemism), under the stars with a bottle wine. What a great night. This is Smith and company at another show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81AMiw...

In Feb. I saw St. Vincent, but it was a "show," not a concert since it was in a club. Still great. Clip from actual show I saw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol56TY...

Best concert I've seen in the past few years was Tom Waits. He is amazing. Viddie from second night in Phoenix. I was at first night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0xotB...

Roger Waters was the last big concert I've attended. He put on a pretty good show as well, doing the entire Dark Side album, plus other stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwVELr...

It was Summer Beach Ball, 2006, hosted by 96.5 The Buzz. It was a pretty good show. 311 was the headliner, but there were tons of acts. We had lots of drinks, we got married, Kill Hannah was my wedding party. What a memorable day. Not many folks can say there were 15,000 people at their wedding, eh?

Kenny Rogers and the First Edition; Kansas City; 1970

A friend's elderly father who was unable to drive wanted to go to a Benny Hinn revival, or whatever they called it, at Kemper Arena. So, I gave him a ride to see Benny Hinn live. The only way to describe the experience was that it was a rock concert, flashing lights, costumes, singing, and all. I didn't see any miracles of faith healing or miracles of any other kind that night.

So, I guess the Benny Hinn rock concert at Kemper Arena was the last rock concert I attended. I'm sorry if my description of Benny Hinn's event offends anyone.
