Almost all the concerts I have attended were while I was at college and the individual or group performed on campus: The Youngbloods at Sierra College in Rocklin, CA. Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, The 5th Dimension, The Guess Who, Neil Diamond at Idaho State University in Pocatello, ID. These would all have been in the early 1970's. At a car show at Cal Expo in Sacramento I saw Jan Berry (just himself and a band, but not Dean Torrance). I've seen my favorite group The Beach Boys (how could you not love a band that sang about girls, cars, and the beach) 8 times in person. The first time was in 1983 at Candlestick Park after a Giants game; to the best of my recollection all 3 Wilson brothers were there along with Al Jardine and Mike Love. I then saw them 3 times at Cal Expo, 3 times at South Shore Lake Tahoe, and the last time at Reno in 1996.
