What's the farthest you've traveled for live music

I have only traveled 6 hours for live music, although my wife has seen 124 Grateful Dead shows, so she has me beat big time. I'm not talking about seeing live music because you happened upon a live venue while traveling for work or vacation. I'm talking about finding out one of your favs is playing in L.A., and it's the closest they're playing to your home. You live in let's say Dallas. (I personally live in Rochester N.Y.). You take time off work and board a plane or hunker down for a nasty car ride.

i've driven about 330 miles from mobile, alabama to see a concert in atlanta, georgia a few times. typically though, i drive to new orleans for live shows and general debauchery.

I'm a lightweight myself; but I'll never forget June of '76, and driving from L.A. to San Diego to go to the Kool Jazz Festival. Get a load of this ticket: The Staple Singers; B.B.King; Al Green, and The Temptations headlined!

Went from Albuquerque to Portland, Oregon with some friends for a dead show. It was the seventies and gas was cheap and time was plentiful.
