I was running through these in my head this morning as I walked home from my swim. Realised I'd been to more than I thought.  Who have you seen in concert over the years? We all have quite a varied taste in music on here so could be interesting or not as the case may be. 
Here's my list.

Cliff x 2
Gilbert O'Sullivan - skived off school to get tickets to find half the school in the queue. Well it was nearing the end of exams and most teachers didn't check to see where we were. 
Don McLean
Gordon Giltrap
Brian Adams x 3
Chris Rea x 2
Neil Young
Jason Donovan - queued from 5.30 in the morning so that daughter wouldn't be disappointed.
All Saints - stood at back with 100's of parents whilst kids were down the front. My son fancied one of the band!
M People
Travis
Take That - with daughter in the 90's
Simple Minds x 2
Stranglers x 2
Cold play
REM
Ian Anderson
Ray Davies
Gary Glitter - not my proudest moment. It was Christmas and hubby thought it would be good for a laugh. He was rubbish!
Paco Pena

Would love to see the following

Fleetwood Mac but prices are prohibitive!
Tom Jones
I'm sure I'll think of more. 

[Scampi]

I've never really had much of an urge to go to concerts (certainly not 'pop' concerts!).  I saw Tammy Wynette (she was amazing) and I've seen Don Williams 3 times (beyond words - such a huge shame he's not playing the UK anymore, but he's not a spring chicken, so I'll forgive him).  I have been to 2 Bryan Adams concerts - thoroughly enjoyed both, although my friend persuaded me to go standing for the first one (it was only about 5 years ago!), so we arrived early to be as close to the front as possible - 3 hours of sitting on the floor outside the entrance to the MEN saw us on the second row!  But after standing there for a further 3 hours, I could hardly move!  So last time I insisted on a seat!

[CLKD]

The Searchers
The Hollies x 3
Fairport Convention lots
Whippersnapper lots

Really wanted to go and see Jack Johnson a couple of years ago when he did a concert in Hyde Park - my son managed to get a ticket and called my when he was singing my favourite song so I could hear it down the phone line.....
