What's the farthest you've traveled for live music

I have only traveled 6 hours for live music, although my wife has seen 124 Grateful Dead shows, so she has me beat big time. I'm not talking about seeing live music because you happened upon a live venue while traveling for work or vacation. I'm talking about finding out one of your favs is playing in L.A., and it's the closest they're playing to your home. You live in let's say Dallas. (I personally live in Rochester N.Y.). You take time off work and board a plane or hunker down for a nasty car ride.

What were you thinking marrying a "dead head". You must have gotten married when you were very young, and single. I mean those people will leave their families to see a Dead concert and they may never come back home.

I traveled about 5 miles to see a Beatles concert at Red Rocks. Now I am virtual and listen to concerts in my listening room. Much more life like and more intimate.

When I was in a band we toured the US coast to coast in 2.5 weeks. Four 18 year olds, with a van and trailer. Most memorable summer of my life.

Have traveled 250 miles to Lake Tahoe many times over the past 35 years to hear live music. Have found out that some live music can actually be very dead music. And we're not talking Grateful Dead.
