I want to know what concerts people have been too, especially your favorites and even more importantly, Why?
If I had to make a choice I would say my favorite concert of all time would have to be when Pat Benatar came in concert at the Atlanta's "Tabernacle" back in July 2001.
Why? I had always had a crush on Pat and she had a song that I danced to at my homecoming dance (back in 1980) entitled, "We Live For Love" (she performed that after, "Heartbreaker" and I was in seventh heaven) and I danced to it and was told I was a really great dancer. She also has that opera trained vocals. I was especially happy that she led us in a sing along to "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" -- my group (she broke the audience into a group of threes) was the loudest of the group during the sing long (from where Pat sings, "Before I put another notch in my lipstick case ..." to where she sings the final, "Fire away!") The history why Pat asks people to sing along to "Hit Me" is because at one point in the 1980's she lost her voice in the final "Fire away!" and she won't sing, "Hit Me" without the audience partipating and she told us audience in Atlanta we were the best of the sing alongs she ever had! (So, that was very cool!) She also performed the song, "All Fired Up" and another tune, "Love Is A Battlefield" with her guitarist - husband that they turned into an acapella version! And the guitarist that opened for her was also very brilliant, Dominic Gaudious.
Pat also ended on time and gave a very tight, but brilliant set -- with two encores (even ending on time)!!! Which allowed me to get home at a decent time on Atlanta's MARTA.
Second and third, of my favorite concerts, would have to be in this order:
2. Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, January 1990.
3. Bruce Hornsby & the Range, May 1988.
So what is your favorite concert of all time? And more importantly, why?
