For me it was seeing Dave Davies in 2003 with Amelia in Cleveland at the Beachland Ballroom.

He played a lot of KINKS Klassiks and his newer solo material and just jammed. He talked to the audience and acknowledged us in even the subtlest ways (a wink and smile, a wave, throwing his picks out etc.).

His band was tight and awesome.

Afterward, he signed autographs, I got a poster and his CD "Bug" signed by him.... the booklet in "Bug" I was able to get all the band to sign.

(So I have the CD, Poster, a copy of his book "KINK" signed by him and a KINKS Koncert T signed by his brother and KINKS frontman Ray.... )

The best part was going to Denny's afterward with several other fans and as we are sitting there Dave's backing band comes in, Jonathon Lea, Jim Lespesa, and Derrick....(everyone but Dave and his lovely wife Kate, who were at the hotel). They notice our table as we had alkl talked to them and Dave's fan club pres (and her hubby) happens to be a member of our table.

They come and sit next to us and talk, steal fries from our plates and just be guys and friends.

That night will be etched in my mind as one of the greatest events of my life.... the sex with Amelia that night was the best we ever had as a couple, because we were both so psyched.

It was Amelia's first concert and she, I think, enjoyed it all more than I did.

I've seen Pink Floyd, Billy Joel, the Stones, Rod Stewart, Alice Cooper, Tom Petty, McCartney, and so on in concert and all I can say is that this was by far the best of any of any of them, from the show to the signings to the Denny's aftershow party.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
