Okay....I've always thought Rick Springfield was cute so I risked embarrasment of going with the whole family so I could see/hear him.

11. U2 - Vertigo Tour - Oct. 2005 - Dallas - with my husband Scott - okay...hands down just about every song they have ever recorded! By far one of my favorite all-time bands! I have listened to them since I was about 13 or 14 (early eighties).
12. Duran Duran - Astronaut Tour - Feb. 2005 - Dallas - with my friend Pam. These boys are just beautiful! Favs: "Rio""Girls on Film", "Hungry Like the Wolf", "My Own Way", "Save a Prayer", "Is There Something I Should Know"....also could go on!
13. Bon Jovi - Have a Nice Day Tour - Jan. 2006 - Dallas - with my friend Dawn. I have loved this band since the release of "Runaway". I loved them with their big hair, and I love them even more with their shorter hair. Favorites: "Runaway", "In & Out of Love", "Wanted Dead or Alive", "I'd Die For You", "I'll Be There For You", "Last Man Standing", "Last Cigarette", "Story of My Life", "Lost Highway", "We Got It Going On", "Make A Memory"...obvisously I could keep going!
These are not all of the concerts I have been to in my lifetime so far, but I could only list 13. I hope some of these take you back for a minute or two today...enjoy!

Nice Thursday post, hope you are having a nice day! I just posted my Thursday Thirteen with a few add-ons! Please stop by my blog if you can!
I've seen 5, 6 & 13. The first time I saw Bon Jovi they were an opening act and their only hit was Runaway.
He ran along the front of the stage and I touched his hand. I never washed that hand again.....
