What a great list! Musikfest was my favorite too (I will never forget dancing to 'the most popular wedding band in Philidelphia), with the show at the Globe in Milwaukee where Zhenya's Yoko sat with Terry while we danced in the front, and then the Madison show where we almost didn't go, and got there really early, and Igor sat with us in the bar on that cool red couch.

It really is hard to pick just one.

But no question, the best Red Elvises "moment" was the red couch.

Your annual James Taylor fest sounds awesome, I'd totally be up for that. You should always go. Also, the GLEE tour sounds like it'd be a hot mess, but I am glad to hear (from you etc) that it isn't! And I don't believe for one second that you accidentally swooned on Krissifer :)))

Are you gonna see DCook on This Loud Tour?

I swear! Kris came straight at me! Then he stumbled and I had to hold him up. It was awesome.

I am DETERMINED to get to Cook. And I fully expect him to bump something off this list.

Well I guess I certainly agree with *counts* seven of those! Having been there. :) My recollections of your choices (sans Les Mis).

JT: My favorite memory of seeing James Taylor at Alpine Valley was how he just rambled out onstage with no opening act and no announcement and sat down and said hi, and started to play. So I missed approximately 2 songs bolting for the front of the venue to find Other Sister.

Glee: Yeah, it was soooo slick, but I absolutely bought it. Especially Heather Morris' dancing and Lea Michelle and Amber Riley's vocals. Really, Amber's solos were worth the price of admission.

Red Elvises: Guaranteed fun.

Todd Rundgren: I almost forgot I'd seen him. And I never even did drugs *sigh* so not fair. There is no singer-songwriter I love more than him. Concerts where you know every single word and musical phrase are my favorite.

Adam: I am inspired to quote that one security guard from NKOTBSB in Indy. He was right up front with his back against the stage. I asked him whether he minded having to face away from the ( ... )

hi hi hi! :D

Isn't that a great album? It's one of the few I just listen to, start to finish, without skipping one track.

AMYBABE!

I love Girlfriend too, Mary. I'm also partial to Altered Beast, since it has The Ugly Truth, Devil with the Green Eyes and sound bites from Caligula. :)
