My date with the Rolling Stones

I had the thrill of a lifetime last month when I flew to New York (actually, to New Jersey) to see the Rolling Stones 50^th Anniversary concert on December 15 at the Prudential Center in Newark.

In fact, the event was so once-in-a-lifetime (I mean, what other rock & roll band is still together after 50 years?!?!) that hubby decided to get seats quite close to the stage. What a thrill! With the zoom lens of my new Canon camera, the concert was an up-close-and-personal experience I will never forget.  

It was also a Pay Per View special, which meant there were lots of 'special guests' playing on classic Rolling Stones songs.  Take a look!

As I mentioned, the event was available on Pay Per View, but for a Rolling Stones fan, there was nothing like being there in the audience in person! It was an experience I'll never, ever forget. 

How about you? Is there one band you'd be thrilled to see perform live? Or already have??
