   Vibrationbaby,
As you'll gather from the dates, I'm also rapidly becoming a very old man!
I was only three when I saw ELP though.

	Judas Priest! I would LOVE to see them live! They play the Arrow festival in Holland this summer (together with Motorhead, Alice Cooper, Porcupine Tree, UFO, Scorpions, Yes, G3, Iron Butterfly and many others), but my friends want to go to the Lowlands festival...

	Easy Livin: I'm an even older man! I've seen all of the following, in NYC: Every Gentle Giant concert from 1974 onward. Every Genesis concert from Trick onward. (Never got to see them with Gabriel.) Every Yes concert from Tales onward. Every King Crimson concert from "Red" through "Three of a Perfect Pair," plus the most recent tour. Pink Floyd - "Animals," "The Wall," two others Wakeman - "Myths" Tour Moody Blues - "Octave" Tour U.K. - "U.K." tour Jethro Tull - (whichever show the "second" U.K. opened for) Brand X - "Moroccan Roll" Tour (w/Collins) Bruford - debut and second album tours; also w/Earthworks in 2003 The Church - "Holograms of Baal," "After Everything Now This" and "Forget Yourself" Tours Nektar - "Recycled" and "Prodigal Son" Tours Supertramp - "Crime" Tour Zappa - 1977, 1978 (annual Halloween shows) Mahavishnu Orchestra - 1975 (w/Narada Michael Walden on drums). (This was a private concert for the children of the faculty of Adelphi University; only 200 people attended. "Awesome" doesn't begin to describe it). Other Non-Prog Faves: Bob Marley and the Wailers (1975) 10CC (1975, 1977, 1978) Return to Forever (1975) Queen - "Night at the Opera" Tour Led Zep - "Physical Graffiti" and "Presence" Tours Santana (1975) Elton - Every concert from his first (1970) through 1981. Steve Miller - "Fly Like an Eagle" Tour Police/U2/Gabriel - Conspiracy of Hope Tour Oregon - various (over 25 shows) Plus various shows by The Allman Brothers, Blue Oyster Cult, Joe Cocker, Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Hot Tuna, Billy Joel, Paul McCartney, Joni Mitchell, and many others. All told, I've probably seen well over 400 concerts since 1971. Peace.
