Copy this list. Leave in the bands you've seen perform live. Delete the ones you haven't and add new ones that you have seen until you reach 25. An asterisk means the previous person had it on their list. Two asterisks means the last two people who did this before you had that band on their list.

(It will probably be hard for me to hit 25...but we'll see)

Olivia Newton-John?

Hell yeah!

I saw her two years ago...that was an awesome concert! She sang all her hits from the 70s and 80s, then did her new stuff...including this really neat bossa nova version of Physical. ONJ is the bomb!

If I really wanted fulfill my Ladies from the Eighties dreams, I'd see Bonnie Tyler, Heart, Joan Jett and Pat Benatar as well.

Sadly, I would have to erase your whole list!

Yeah...I realized...I have a strange mix of folks on my list. I figured not too many people would have a lot of match ups.

also: OMG guns and roses! So cool.

yay! Someone has some concert-going similarities to me!

By the way--I'm totally jealous that you've seen Suzanne Vega...I love her.
Also, isn't Angelique Kidjo an amazing performer?
