What concerts have your kids dragged you to?


My son just turned 13 and is going to see his current favorite band " System of a Down "at a local arena that holds about 12k people.
Theres no way hes going without a parent so I get the honor of taking him as well as one of his freinds in two weeks.
He is already trying to get me to take him to a "Foo Fighters/Weezer" concert also.
So what bands have your kids talked you into going to see with them that you most likely would not have seen otherwise?
ears
What Dire Straits song was it? Glad to see you had a good time, I belive the second album comes out soon. "Hypnotize" or is it already out?
Took my daugther to a couple of Dylan shows (she was 14 for our first one) and now she drags ME to them!
Doors -Washington Hilton - Hendrix, Ambassador Theatre, Washington.

He was an accomplished pianist, organist and choir director. He was pretty open to new music.
He really liked the Doors and at the end of one of the Hendrix shows, stood on a chair to watch Jimi burn his guitar.

So, if you think taking your kids to some lame rock concert is a bore - think of it this way:

Tickets to concert - $300
Take out Pizza - $50.00

Memories for kids? Priceless. OTOH - don't think there is any new music on the level of Doors or Hendrix.

I'll never forget those shows or my father's efforts - at the Doors show, he sat four rows behind my sister and me so he wouldn't embarass us but could keep an eye on us. At the Hendrix show, my sister didn't attend and dad stayed with me because there was no where else to go.
after 10 years of my taking her to shows (joni, townshend, who, pumpkins, bette serveert, donovan, wilco, sonic youth, ocean colour scene, doves to name but a few; she (now 19 and a very fine drummer herself, busy playin around NYC) has now taken me to see patti smith, elvis costello (twice in last year) and paul weller.
payback is sweet...
