What concerts have your kids dragged you to?

A good concert summer for my 12 and 14 year-olds. First was Stevie Winwood, how had a fine show, then Michael McDonald, who was as much of a class act as ever. They were away for summer camp otherwise they would have seen Collective Soul.
Stevie Winwood was their favorite - it was funny for me to see them enjoying his tunes from 30 year ago when I first saw him.

In 1995, I took my 12 yo son and a bunch of his 12 and 13 yo friends (male and female) to see Dave Matthews Band. I was stunned at how great they were. Extended jams and very tight musicianship. Unfortunately, in 2005, they are still playing the same songs, with shorter, less improvised jams for larger, louder crowds than ever.

On the flip side, I dragged my son to Grateful Dead concerts beginning when he was a couple of years old. I also forced him to take an LP playback system to college with him, but he is glad I did.

Just the opposite for my daughter and me. When Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson were touring last summer kids twelve and under got in free. She was eleven at the time. Having seen Dylan a number of times I wanted my daughter to see him also. She was glad to go and we had a good time.

Taking my son to the Nine Inch Nails / Queens of the Stone Age concert next month. I'd go even if he didn't want to though - several friends wish I'd give them the ticket instead.

hey if you want to fly me out there I will go! I do like alot of their music, oh by the way" Why do they always send the poor?"
