The problem is that a)we weren't always sober while attending these events. b) we can't remember all the opening bands who played for the headliners {sometimes it was better to forget}. and c) we didn't attend every concert together, so we can't quite remember which we saw, & which we just heard about.
Anyway, out of the 55 on my list, I've sweated, toiled, strained my brain & finally came up with my Top 6 favourite performances. So here they are, in order:
6. Jethro Tull ~ for sheer surprise at how much I enjoyed this, considering I didn't know ONE of their songs pre-concert
5. Honeymoon Suite ~ for sheer pleasure for a rabid teenage fan
4. Cher ~ for the sheer spectacle of a 40-year veteran of show biz
3. The Who ~ for the sheer amazement that they would ever tour again in my/their lifetime
2. Madonna ~ for the sheer... who am I kidding? It's freakin' Madonna!
1. Sir Tom Jones ~ for the sheer lurve of this man as a singer, performer & consummate professional.
This was the hardest Top 6 to figure out, & I may change my mind at a later date. And don't worry, somehow I will manage to mention all 55 in subsequent posts, for the sheer pleasure of boasting.
The word of the day is "sheer".
