I am missing some, can't remember at the moment ...

Have seen and will continue to see whenever possible: Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band

As for other future concerts, not really into being in crowds unless they are drunken parrot heads. However, every Wednesday night in the summer I go to a free beach concert with well-known local bands like Brian Kirk and the Jerks, the Shots, and Tim McCloone and the Shirleys. We call it Sandy Hookstock. The beach is packed with picnicking locals, the 50/50 usually goes off for at least $5000. , and the money goes to the Sandy Hook Foundation. Nothing like dancin on the beach as the sun sets and the moon rises! Happiness ...

These lists really aren't all that surprising, which I thought was part of the question.

Of all the concerts I've seen I can really only think of two that might surprise folks here and those are Huey Lewis and the News and Duran Duran. The Huey show was free. When I was in college radio back in the early 80's we often got comp tix, which was the case with Huey. It's probably not something I'd do again but I enjoyed it. The Duran Duran concert falls under the "things we do for love" category. Not something I would ever do again. It wasn't unbearable, just not my cup of tea at all.

As for future concert I might attend that would surprise people, I really have no idea.

Artists I've Seen
all when I was in college -
Jethro Tull
Yes
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
beat me now

Madeleine Peyroux
Luke Bryan (since I lived in NY my whole life until 5 months ago and it isn't exactly a hotbed of country music)


Artists I'd Like To See
I agree with Diana Krall
Brad Paisley (I've seen him twice on Good Morning America's summer concert series and I liked him so I think I'd like to see a real concert)

Artists I've Met
I've "met" several artists briefly after shows - to get an autograph, take a picture - things like that. But to actually have a conversation with them, Doyle Grisham is about the only one.

I did see her Husband Elvis Costelo she is at ACL when I am in Key West or I would be in Austin

I ran into Brad Paisley in Nashville; no really, he was walking out the door and I was on my way in

[carolinapiratechik]

Several years ago I saw Tina Turner. Joe Cocker opened for Tina and at the tender age of 68 (at least I think that's how old he was), he ROCKED! It was a great, high energy concert.
The other concert that may be surprising is Alice Cooper. Saw him in VA. It was quite a spectacle.
I would like to see The Rolling Stones. Last time they came to Charlotte, ticket prices started at $250.00 which I find ridiculous.

I shall strive to be more surprising henceforth

I don't think anyone I've seen in concert or want to see would surprise anyone. It is a pretty diverse list.

I can only imagine the Snickers at my Richard Marx x 4

I wanted to see him...bad! I still listen to this one frequently ..... especially track #3

[pupnpony]

i have such a list...that goes all over the place. If they're old-line country, I've probably seen them. If they're at the Opry, I've probably seen them. If they're big-hair metal, I've probably seen them! And if they're old time "Top 40", I've probably seen them, too. Although my favorites remain Vince Gill, John Denver, Jimmy Buffett, Mac McAnally, Bon Jovi, Count Basie and Maynard Ferguson!
