Taylor Swift LOL!

Been to a Stanley Cup Finals game. Top of my list would be another one.

Dallas Grand Prix was kinda fun Multiple concerts with VIP access (that I didn't have to pay any money for).

Seriously though whatever is free and convenient works best for me these days. Passed on opportunities for the Kentucky Derby when my cousin was working for trainers there. I'm just too lazy to take advantage of some cool opportunities.

British Open with the whole trip paid would get my attention..

We definitely first said "damn, didn't get to see her live" when the news about Tina Turner hit.

Back in time thread, sigh..

Probably the Masters. I like being able to move around, and I’ve been watching it on tv for 50 years. As for Time Machine stuff, I would have liked to have seen Hendrix.

Pink Floyd because I never got to see them.

I saw Springsteen in Jersey back in the early '80s. It sucked because the entire arena was singing every word to every song. Shut up people! I'm not a huge fan but it would have been nice to hear him.

We attended the Sonoma Music Festival a few years ago. A friend bought tickets she couldn't use, tried to sell them but it was such short notice she couldn't find a buyer, so she gave them to us and we rallied to go.
We were unable to stay for the entire time because I had to get back home to work the next day, but I'd like a do-over of that particular concert with all access.
Doobie Brothers with Michael McDonald
AND....Edgar Winter Group

What we did exprience was really really amazing.

Do you really want to see how the sausage is made? Some things are best left to the imagination.
I thought about telling people a little bit about the private jets, the crazy parties, the diamonds and other jewels, the private ski chalets, the stacks of cash, running from the cops... you know, a typical week.

But you're right. Better just to leave it to folks imaginations.

FIFY.

Indy 500 may be on my agenda for next year...albeit on a shoestring budget. But I did the first F1 race there that way, so better to be there in the cheap seats than not at all. It's been on my bucket list for quite some time
