We few, we happy few...

I'm 63 years old.

I enjoyed watching the Eagles play Hotel California in concert in 1976 before the album came out, and then watching them in concert 30 years later playing that same song.

I *IMMENSELY* enjoyed seeing my all-time favorite band YES in concert "in the round" in 1979. That concert stunned me. My life hasn't been the same since. And I finally got the opportunity to meet YES in person backstage in 2000 at a YES concert back when I was playing bass in a YES tribute band.

No stupid autotune back then. Just actual talent! :thumbsup:
OMG I saw that concert also in the round. I had a raging tooth ache the entire time but was so blown away!
 
I noticed a couple of people mention seeing Queen. I was really fortunate to see them open for Mott the Hoople when they became the first rock band to ever headline on Broadway. They played at the Uris Theater about a month before my 14th birthday. I then saw Queen again in '76 at the Beacon Theatre on the Night at the Opera tour. I can't remember who opened for them.
 
46...slightly inebriated and on my way to full on. I have seen some shows, but have missed more than I should have. I played in a band, the. Quit to “adult” and am now back to playing along to some old favorites.
I am married to the love of my life for the last 23 years and fortunate enough to have 2 amazing young adults that are about to venture off in their own and become amazing parts of society.
Everyday is amazing and I am thankful for it all. I can’t wait to see the next show...but until then, will be thankful for what I have and have done.
It is now time for me to leave and continue my search for inebriation.
