Concerts...
Okay, we're almost in the middle of our flight, and I'm listening to an 80s mix on my Ipod, and I just got done with a few Police songs, and then Prince's Purple Rain started to play. And I had a flashback.
I don't know if it is the effect of the two mixed drinks I've had (thank you, newbie flight attendant, for not knowing how to mix Delta's signature drinks!), but I started to have a vivid recollection of being at Prince's concert in the Orange Bowl during his Purple Rain tour, playing Purple Rain, and the crowd swaying, lighters in the air...just an amazing experience, especially for someone's first concert!
So I started to think about the concerts I've been to over time, and the memories I retain to this day. I figured I'd give a short list here, and maybe expand later.
My personal best concerts list:
1. David Gilmour in New York City (high point: Echoes)
2. Roger Waters, Dark Side of the Moon tour, Tinley Park, I'll (high point: The Great Gig In The Sky)
3. Bruce Springsteen, Born in the USA tour, Orange Bowl (high point: Born to Run)
4. Pink Floyd, Division Bell tour, Joe Robbie Stadium (high point: Comfortably Numb)
5. Prince (described above)
6. Elton John/Billy Joel, Joe Robbie Stadium (high point: Can You Feel The Love Tonight)
7. Police, the reunion tour, Dolphins Stadium (high point: Every Little Thing She Does (Is Magic))
I'll add more later.

Roger, it was good seeing you again!
Again, thank you, Live Earth, for bringing Roger Waters back to the spotlight!
Roger had a great set tonight, albeit a short one. But atleast he didn't have Kanye West come up and ruin one of his songs (like "Message in a Bottle" during Police's set).

So you whine that you don't have a game console...
...and can't play those awesome games like Guitar Hero...
Well, there IS an answer...Frets on Fire, which you can play on your PC with your keyboard!
And if you want more songs, read up here (although it does seem a bit tricky...but cool...).

Drivin' and Chillin'
My wife is flying into Denver this morning, and that's a 3 hour drive from Steamboat. Talk about the need to check with your airline before leaving home! She's arriving early...so I need to get up extra early in order to meet her.
Steamboat just before sunrise (you're looking west)
The sun is about to come over the mountains
The sun still isn't up as I drive across the Continental Divide on Rabbit Ears Pass...
...and this is why it's called Rabbit Ears Pass. See the stone formations here?
Me at Lookout Mountain. You can see for miles and miles...
Buffalo Bill's grave (and his wife's, too!). People throw coins in for good luck. I joined 'em.
The view from near Buffalo Bill's grave. Note the flat-top mountains in the picture. The town in front is Golden, Colorado, and the white buildings (partially obscured by the tree branch) is the Coors brewery.
And the "other" Hard Rock Cafe in Denver. My 26th (and third of the year)!
Their sole piece of Pink Floyd memorabilia, hidden behind shirts. :(
Outside the Hard Rock Cafe in Denver.
A work of art. Or junk. You be the judge.
Sunset, with a visitor.
The moon over Steamboat.
And another visitor!

The long awaited trip to New York City has finally arrived! David Gilmour in Concert, on his opening night of his U.S. tour at Radio City Music Hall, is just two days away...and we're going to BE THERE! AWESOME!
Radio City Music Hall! Just two blocks away from our hotel (The Warwick)! COOL!
The concert poster! I want one! SOLD OUT! Yeah, baby!
Rockefeller Center!
Pink Floyd mask from "The Wall" movie at the Hard Rock Cafe on Broadway!
A solid wall of guitars at the Hard Rock!
Me, on Broadway!
Hey...that looks rather familiar...almost as if it's about South Florida...
The Empire State Building!
The Chrysler Building!
The Reading Room in the New York Public Library (1 yard short of being as large as an American football field!), as seen in many famous movies...
As it was, we didn't see Tim Curry perform (he left a couple of months ago), but we did see Hank Azaria and David Hyde Pierce's final performance! Really funny, don't miss it! It was almost worth the trip up for this show alone!
Ooooh....LOST references!
Times Square!
St. Patrick's Cathedral!
Inside St. Patricks!
...and the final shot of the night...Radio City, all lit up!

Hard Rock Cafe - Philadelphia! (#24 in the World Tour)
New city. New Hard Rock Cafe opportunity!
Continuining the quest that I started in 1988, Philadelphia gave me the chance to visit my 24th Hard Rock Cafe! Woohoo!
The outside of the Hard Rock Cafe - Philadelphia
Mmm...grilled chicken sandwich...with sweet potato fries!
Great ceiling mural! With a nice Pink Floyd reference!
Looking down the street from the HRC, taken from across the street from the HRC.
And, in order to visit the HRC...I had to park in a parking garage...which had the "World's Smallest Elevator Meant For Human Use™". One person with two bags of groceries is about all that would fit in this thing. Not for claustrophobics!
