Gwar's a hoot!

And moist.

[days-unfolding.livejournal.com]

That's an impressive list!

Re:

Thanks! It's not really a lot considering it's over twenty or more years. There was a period where I'd go to converts a couple of times a month.

You saw the Police?! With Sting?! *dies of jealousy*

Re:

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Yup... ages and ages ago. It was a pretty nice venue, too. They'd just released Ghost in the Machine, it must've been 82 or so... one of the first concerts I'd ever been to (I was about 13 years old). The concert may be why I like The Police so much to this day.

Re:

I won't tell you how old I was in '82, but I will say that I absolutely adore the Police.

I like some of Sting's solo work but, as a person, he's a little too snotty for my taste. :)

Re:

Likewise... the police is more fun, less political.

DUDE!

[janis-and-co.livejournal.com]

You saw Paul Simon?!!!? In Concert?!!?!?! You Dog! I was details, Man, Details!!!

Re: DUDE!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I've seen him twice in concert... once on the recent "Simon and Dylan" Tour, and he did an excellent job. That was about three years ago or so. The other was about a decade ago in Miami, about thanksgiving-time. He did well, but the venue was huge so I feel that I could've just listened to a live recording and had the same effect. I like to be able to see performers features. :)
