Hmm. Don't really do that much music these days- the TV is always blasting. But when neither of us have a program we HAVE to watch right then, I've been putting it on the 60/70s rock station. They play a lot of Deep Purple, Cream, Jimi Hendri, Doors, etc.

Anderson Bruford Wakeman and Howe. They were the first group Tim and I went to see.

Can't choose; probably something from Cat Stevens, or Van Morrison during his 'meditative' phase (before he started doing Christian & blues) or maybe Don't Fear the Reaper.

I'm not a big fan of cover versions.

Either the Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon, or the Moody Blues when we saw them in Spokane in the 90s. Or when Tina Turner and Cyndi Lauper were a double billing. That one was super, too.

1. Dvorak’s 6th Symphony is playing in my head on eternal repeat these days. Oh I do love it.

2.My first concert was Herman’s Hermits at the International Amphitheater in Chicago when I was just shy of 13. The opening act was The Who, also The Blues Magoos. It was the first time my wallet was ever stolen. Chicago rite of passage. Also, I caught the drum skin when the Who destroyed their instruments at the end of their set.

3. “To love another person is to see the face of God,” from Les Miserables. Saw that for the first time on our honeymoon in London, 1987. I cried like a baby.

4. Can’t really answer this…

5.Luciano Pavarotti in recital, the first time I saw him solo. (I had seen him in La Boheme in 1971.) At Medinah Temple, Chicago. 1977. I was with a pal. She and I were deliriously happy.

There isn't one.

Too many to list!

Hard call. Fortress Around Your Heart and Dun Ringill are up there; also, for some reason, Take My Heart by Steeleye Span.

I wouldn't have band B cover band A's stuff.

Hard call.

1. Not sure if there is any one song at the moment.
The CDs playing in my car are ABBA and Barbra. Maybe I will say Barbra's version of "Somewhere".

2. Again, not sure it gets that specific. At least not off the top of my head. lol...

3. These kind of questions are so hard for me, how do you choose? :o

4. I wouldn't have necessarily chosen it, but Heart's cover of Stairway to Heaven is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5. So many.
Seeing Barbra Streisand live. :)
Any of the Heart shows
Any of the Cher shows.
Joe Cocker opening for Tina Turner. What a night.
The last time I saw Fleetwood Mac. It was the first concert with Christine MacVie returning to performing with the band. We were so lucky to be the first stop of the tour. :)

Hugs, Jon
