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.

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.

Jaybo, you've got good taste! For me, it was from Vermont to Toronto for Iron Maiden. Car, then bus, then train. I got into Iron Maiden just after their '85 tour, and always regretted missing that one. They revisited that historic tour on their latest tour, so I had to make it this time. It was worth the trip.
