I've been to many concerts in my life, I couldn't begin to count them all. My first one was Mr. Big in '94 or '95. At that time their popularity had already faded, but all I cared about was going to my first concert.
Recognizable hit: To Be With You
Concert repeats: Korn: 3, Deftones: 3, Incubus: 3, Slipknot: 2, RHCP: 2, Thursday: 2
Wasn't impressed live: Linkin Park. Sorry dudes.
Amazing voices live: Aaron Lewis: Staind, Jered Leto: 30 Seconds to Mars, Adam Levine: Maroon 5
That's one major thing Jake and I have in common, our love for music and concerts. He has over 800 cd's, nearly 20,000 songs on our iTunes playlist — a collector of sorts. We hit the concerts pretty hard when we started dating, about once a month, sometimes more. We've drastically slowed down in three years, but we've seen almost everyone we've wanted. My choice of music has changed over the years too. I listen to a lot of Christian music, indie rock and jazz. I still appreciate what I used to listen to, but it's not what I tend to gravitate to first.
And I have to give a shout out to the band at the Ekklesia Sunday 5 pm service at Eastminster. Shine Like Stars. How awesome is it to listen to such talented people — live every week. Plus, its praise and worship music so it doesn't get much better.
Top five to date:
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

I'll stop there.
Next was Green Day, 1995. I even got Billie Joe's autograph. It's been in the back of my Dookie album ever since. After that, they all kind of fade together. Some stick out, some do not. I tried to keep ticket stubs from all my concerts, but many are gone with the memory.
