Thursday

Missed it. Same with the Pretenders but did see them later.

Concert I would have liked to have seen would be Iron Butterfly doing In A Godda Da Vida

I've pretty much have seen all that I wanted to. During the days of my concert going tickets were rather cheap and my husband was off work every other week and my schedule was flexible. We also live right between Chicago and Milwaukee with Alpine Valley just down the highway so we were in prime area for it.
