My first concert ever was Bryan Adams in the year of the "Everything I Do" hit from the "Robin Hood" movie with Kevin Costner.
It’s well documented how big of a Dave Matthews Band fan I am, but my live music experience expands well beyond that. Thanks to some connections in college, I saw many country artists for free in the late 1990s; I also got to see a variety of artists by going to the Lilith Fair in 1998 and Farm Aid in 1999.
Here’s a sampling of artists and bands I’ve seen live. I hate to limit it to 12, but this is, afterall, called “12 things.”
1. Barenaked Ladies
2. Vince Gill
3. Ben Folds
4. Brooks & Dunn
5. Bush
6. Bryan Adams
7. Alabama
8. Norah Jones
9. Willie Nelson
10. Bela Fleck and The Flecktones
11. Billy Ray Cyrus
12. Garth Brooks

Glad to see a lot of country concerts on the list!
Tanya @ Dine, Dash, and Deadlift´s last [type] ..Quinoa Pilaf with Raspberries
That’s about all I had access to for a long time. I have a much longer list than this with country artists, mainly due to being able to go to Cattle Annie’s in Lynchburg for free in college.
