Fred Penner ( I actually got to be a part of his christmas show in a childrens choir ... even if I was a senior member and only there as mentor for the little ones when I was 17. Highlight of my musical life !) and Raffi (who rocks my socks too)

Talk about induction into concert life!!! It was over 100 degrees at the Oakland Coliseum and the stadium ran out of ice! However, when Journey sang "Wheel in the sky" it was all worth it.

Also, had a LOAD of fun at Lollapalooza '02 - saw Pearl Jame there, among others. Oh, and I hate (ok,m not really, jsut am very jealous of) Big THunder! *put* Why? These reasons: Queen - Los Angeles 1978 Pink Floyd - The Wall - Los Angeles 1981 Stevie Ray Vaughn - Los Angeles Grateful Dead - Los Angeles Ah, and also Rush - they're jsut as great in person as they are on vinly/tape/CD - a TRUE power trio!

The show started out with some instrumental music and a slide show on a huge screen... then she walked through the screen. It was definitely a larger than life moment for my sis and I. My parents had tears in there eyes watching us sing along to every song. I'll remember that time forever. =)
