Once was not enough for me, and when Gaga scheduled a concert in Sacramento, about as close as any big time act will get to my current town Placerville, I had to get at least one ticket.

This time and for the first time ever I'm going for general admission.  That reminds me I need to get up from my computer chair more, my fingers on the keyboard are in great shape but I won't be standing on them when I have to stand not only for the whole concert itself but before that in the GA line.

They are definitely on my want to see in concert list.

I have been to more U2 concerts than any other band or musician, but that's an easy to beat two.  Next year Lady Gaga will move up to a tie when I see her Monster Ball again.

I was in the U2 fan club a few years, but losing my job and having to really tighten my budget made me see where my priorities were so I let the paid membership lapse.

I still like quite a few U2 songs and will always have good memories of the concerts and getting to know some really good friends at and during the visits to the cities where the concerts took place, one time Oakland, then Las Vegas.

The Lonesome Jubilee

I never saw Tom Petty live either, but do like some of his hits.  Mary Jane's Last Dance and Runnin' Down a Dream would be my top two Petty songs.

Just wondering if there are any Lady Gaga fans or full on Little Monsters here.  I am definitely a Little Monster and had a great time seeing Lady Gaga's Monster Ball in LA last Thursday.

Cool picture of John and Miriam Sturm.  Just sharing, I own nothing of this.

Hi everyone, ThornGenX here, or some may think of it as "I'm baaaack."  Nice to see a new forum.  I have been to one Mellencamp concert a couple years ago in Berkeley, CA.  It was lots of fun meeting some of you and of course hanging out with my friend Farfelp.
