The Sound of Music

So I just received one of those emails from Ticketmaster, you know the ones that highlight upcoming concerts in your area. Well, it got me thinking of my own little concert list, so here it is:

1. Sting, Peter Gabriel, Bruce Springsteen & Tracy Chapman—First memory I ever have of attending a concert was in 1988 when these four legendary musicians came to Costa Rica on the Derechos Humanos tour.

2. Seals & Crofts—Got a chance to see many of these when they toured throughout the US in 1992, and I had the bounty of tagging along for a month!

3. Dan Seals—Washington State Fair, 1992.

4. Bon Jovi—Their Keep the Faith tour hit Costa Rica in 1993. An unforgettable experience mainly because Gaby, Aria, David and myself were pulled out of line by concert crew members recruiting helpers for the show. Later on we got to see them front row.

5. Aerosmith—Costa Rica (think it was 1994 but can't say for sure).

6. Eros Ramazotti—Costa Rica, 1994.

7. D'Angelo—In 1999, my sweet sister-in-law, Nika, surprised me with tickets to this concert for my 21st b-day.

8. Mya, The Pretenders, Sheryl Crow & Sarah McLachlan—Lilith Fair came to Nashville in 1999 and I was lucky enough to be here when it did. It remains a favorite.

9. Seals & Seals—One of their first shows together at Nashville's Riverfest, 2004.

10. Sarah McLachlan—My whole family was able to go to this one which made it really special—Nashville 2004.

11. Metallica—This one was a freebee—Nashville 2005.

12. Hum Static—Album release concert at Tower Records—Nashville 2005.

13. John Legend—Riverside—Nashville 2005.

14. The Wailers—Mercy Lounge—Nashville 2005.

15. Coldplay—Once again, the whole Seals family, (we are lovers of music) made it to this spectacular show—Nashville 2005.

16. Gwen Stefani—As you can read from the previous Harajuku Girl post, Andrea and I rocked out at this one—Nashville 2005. I believe that's all of them. There are still so many I'd like to see.
