What would the world be without music??? Life is music.

I have been to hundreds of other concerts just to list a few: The White Stripes, Raconteurs, The Dead Weather, Green Day, Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Roger Waters- all different stuff. The full range of concerts of all types of music, David Byrne, Death Cab for Cutie, Elvis Costello, Al Dimeola, Frank Zappa, James Brown, PFunk, Cream, Dr. John, Doyle Bramhall II, Wire, Ray Charles, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Ravi Shankar, Fela Anikulapo Kuti as well as Femi and Seun Kuti- Ive been to MANY different concerts---and festivals. Literally hundreds of Grateful Dead concerts (1985-1995) Woodstock 1994, Bonnaroo= Way too many to list.

I was lucky enough to be front row at Live 8 in 2005 for the reunion of Pink Floyd and an amazing line up put together by Sir Bob Geldolf. I was also privileged enough to be at Pink Floyd's rehearsal the night before the big reunion at Hyde Park. So the first time I saw my absolute favorite band was with a few hundred people in an open field in Hyde Park. I still cannot believe it and it truly is one of my best memories of my whole memorable life.
I am so grateful that I got to see Frank Zappa's last tour in 1988 and Jerry Garcia's very last show in 1995 in Chicago and Brent Mydland's last show. I was lucky enough to have seen Fela Kuti before he passed away. I met his whole huge family before the show- which included a very young Femi and Seun. memories....love it....
