KEVIN RODGERS The best concert I ever attended was Paul McCartney’s “On The Run” tour performance at Yankee Stadium on July 16th, 2011. The bonus was a guest appearance by Billy Joel. As far as my first concert, I never went to any when I was growing up. I was actually 40 when I got to see John Fogerty at Radio City Music Hall on July 2nd, 1998.

CHRISTA MANDLER I went to see AC/DC with my mother. I discovered them in college and loved their stuff. They were the first band I really started to pay attention to. Then I heard on my local radio station that they were doing a tour! I had no idea that they were still together, much less still touring. I checked tour dates and it turned out I would be visiting my mother the day they were going to be performing, not far from where she lives. I called her up and said hey, mom… I have an idea for a graduation present… We went to the show together and had a blast! I was super glad I got to go, because shortly afterward, the band suffered the loss of their lead singer and one of their founding members.
