I asked H for his list. He has seen many, many concerts over the years, and he continues to find new bands to see.

First - Deep Purple (because he wanted to see ELO, who warmed up for them)

Best - he said he has seen so many amazing concerts, but some stand out because they were so surprising & he had such a great time: the first time he saw AC/DC as a warm up band, Meatloaf (in his early days), Three Inches of Blood (metal).

Wish - He has seen every band he wanted to see.

First - Kevin Ayers
Best - Pink Floyd at Knebworth
Wish- Leonard Cohen

First David Essex
Best Adele
Wish I’d seen The Bee Gees, Whitney Houston or Michael Jackson.

First Concert - Hair (if that counts) otherwise a Canadian group called the Guess Who played at my school. Didn’t care for the music but do remember the light show!

Best Concert - Apocalyptica (Finnish metal on cellos) They are so much fun to watch. They played at relatively small theaters so you could be really close to them if you wanted.
