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

Speaking of Rochester, NY; traveled from Oswego, NY in June 1981 to see Weather Report in Rochester (about 75 miles), remains to be one of the most memorable concerts of my lifetime. I guess that's as far as I've gone! not very impressive...

I went to Hampton Beach, NH from Albany, NY to see Santana.

Other than that, went to Montreal to hear/see Phanthom of The Opera.

From my home(near philly)to Las Vegas to see my all time favorite band--The Outlaws.We have also incorporated concerts into several vacations including two labor day weekend shows at the Pechanga Casino in Temecula,CA.In '07 we saw Lynyrd Skynyrd and the following year it was CCR(Credence Clearwater Revisited).

Weather Report? Wasn't that Wayne Shorters band? Please send some Garafalos italian sausage.

I saw Iron Maiden in Toronto in 1986. My buddy went to some college for the recording arts.

Portland OR to NYC

The Allman Brothers Band at the Beacon Theater. It was well worth the trip ... both times. Thinking about Bonnaroo this year or Warren's Christmas jam in NC. Living 4 hours from the Gorge amphitheater makes traveling long distances to shows somewhat of a waste to me. I'm getting to the point where seeing shows in big auditoriums is just not for me. I only do outdoor venues and smaller club settings.

Is it me, or have big live shows become overly commercialized? It's more like going to a movie ... I remember as a kid waiting weeks in anticipation for a big show - buying the album listening it front to back 100 times. I guess it seemed like so much more of a big deal. I remember traveling to see the Who in Denver and seeing them outdoor with about 50,000 screaming fans. It was absolutely crazy and nothing since has even come close. That was 1983 by the way … “It’s Hard” Tour … incredible.
