My favorite was not because of the singer/band, but because of the memory. My mom absolutely loved the Oak Ridge Boys, so I secretly bought tickets and simply told her the date I was taking her somewhere and to wear something nice. As we drove down the Las Vegas strip, she kept trying to guess, until finally we pulled into the parking lot of a hotel/casino and she saw the huge sign advertising their contest. "THE OAKS," she shouted. She couldn't stop smiling. As we entered the theatre, I palmed the maître d some money and he quickly escorted us...to the front row, mid stage!! My mom's jaw just about dropped to the floor. The band was right in front of her and she had the time of her life. Now that she's gone, it's one of my favorite memories with her.
My next favorite was a Kenny Loggins concert that was held outside and it was pouring rain. The band was underneath cover, but the audience was completely exposed. I had just finished my last class at the university and one of the janitors saw me running through the rain. He gave me an absolutely HUGE trash bag to cover myself with and I took it to the concert. It was so large that me and my boyfriend both fit inside of it and we cut eyeholes so we could see the concert. We were completely dry and warm. I can imagine what a sight we were, but we didn't care.
How about you? Have you had any concert adventures?
