Re Moments In Music I'll Never Forget:

1970 - I vaguely remember walking into our living room & an item came on the TV announcing the Beatles had broken up.

1972-73 - Being in England & first hearing Slade,Bowie, Elton & T. Rex although I was supposed to be a Donny Osmond & David Cassidy fan.

March 22, 1975 - When I went to my first ever concert, my Australian teenage heroes Sherbet. I was to see them about ten times in subsequent years, maybe more.

Mid 1975 - My first concert by an overseas act, Status Quo, then at the height of their success with On The Level & the magnificent Down Down (This was my second favourite song for a while after the Beatles' Yesterday, which has always been my favourite song).

January 1976 - The Eagles tour Australia with new guitarist Joe Walsh. I was interested & intrigued.

Mid 1976 - Release of Queen's A Night At The Opera & Bohemian Rhapsody. Highly significant.

December 1976 - Release of Hotel California.

August 1977 - Death of Elvis Presley.

1978 - A couple of my favourite songss were released - Stayin' Alive, Baker Street & Wuthering Heights.

October 2, 1979 - first saw the cover of The Long Run. I think you know what happened next.

December 8, 1980 - Death of John Lennon. I was in London.

1979 - 1981- During my university years I was introduced to Van Morrison & Neil Young.

1982- Release of Glenn Frey's first solo album No Fun Aloud. I moved to Sydney this year & started going to concerts on a regular basis (mainly Elton John at first).

March 1983 - Simon & Garfunkel at the old Sydney Sports Ground - front row.

1985 - Release of Dire Straits' Brothers In Arms. I think I saw them for the first time in 1986 (& then in 1991 on the On Every Street tour).

August 5, 1988 - Little River Band with Glenn Frey - front row.

This is getting a bit too detailed so I will skip to 1994 when the Eagles reformed.

December 9, 1995 - first Eagles concert.

November - December 2004 - Farewell One Eagles concerts.

2007 (I think) Led Zeppelin reunion.

I could pad this out with more concerts & album releases. I have books about various music events but I prefer to think of what interested me personally.

LOVE these 2!!! But there's a group I wish you could of added the the top one!

I liked Sweet's songs & I have a Greatest Hits CD of them but they didn't have the same impact on me that Slade did.

Moments in Music I'll Never Forget:

1964-watching The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show (8 years old!)

November 1976-my first live concert and an Eagles one to boot in St. Louis. Even though we were in nosebleed and I don't remember a lot, I do remember it was one of the coolest things I ever got to do and my most favorite band EVER!

August 1977-death of Elvis Presley

December 1980-death of John Lennon

1980-82-hearing about the break up of my most favorite band ever. I was devestated.

1984-Toured Elvis' home Graceland.

October 1994-Seeing The Eagles on MTV....back together again! I vowed that somehow, someway, I would get to one of their concerts again.

February 2002-Crosby, Stills, Nash,& Young in St. Louis. Awesome!

July 2002-My 2nd Eagles concert in Ames, Iowa. 3rd row in front of Tim-I was in heaven seeing my favorite band up close like that. Tim nearly chose me during that show! We made eye contact more than once!

June 2003-My 3rd Eagles concert back in St. Louis. Not nearly as good seats, (row 25) but made my way up to the side front (by Joe) towards the end behind a couple rows of ecstatic fans.

May 2004-Aerosmith concert in Peoria. Amazing!

September 19, 2004-Don Henley solo in Springfield, MO. Meet & greet, autographs and a picture with him! I nearly cried when he walked in to the room. I got to meet the man behind the voice that I had loved for 32 years! One of the greatest moments in my life, right behind my engagement, wedding, and the birth of my kids!

August 2006-John Fogerty concert in St. Louis. We went without tickets. Walked up to the box office that afternoon and they offered me front row center tickets! Willie Nelson opened. Boths shows were fantastic! John is my husbands all time favorite artist.

April 2008-Keith Urban concert in Peoria. 3rd row by the catwalk down the center! Awesome! A wild and crazy show!

September 2008-4th Eagles concert, in St. Louis-front row nearly center-VIP tickets! Another once in a lifetime! I got to meet a Borderer-tbsf!

March 2009-5th Eagles concert, in Columbia-8th row. I got to meet Peek!

June-2009-death of Michael Jackson

June-2010-6th Eagles concert, at Busch Stadium, St. Louis. Even though the seats were crappy and I couldn't see very well, an Eagles concert is a MOMENT for me!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Love your list, twin-separated-at-birth. Mine would look very similar - just change the dates and locations on those Eagles shows and we're all set. Oh also, have to change you meeting Don to me meeting Glenn.

I had actually wanted to post a list in this thread, but have just never had the time to get around to it. Seriously though, Brooke - mine really would have been a lot like yours.
