Thinking on and off about Udhay's 'what do you splurge on' thread, I
realised I've spent good money to get to concerts. What have been your
memorable ones?

2009 - Paul McCartney "Good Evening London" - by far the best concert ever.
Me and the missus borrowed money from her parents to pay for the tix, we
were living in Oxford).
2019 - U2, Mumbai (travelled from Delhi)
2018 - Judas Priest, Mountain View
2008 - Ian Anderson, Anoushka Sharma, New Delhi
2002 - Deep Purple, Mumbai
2002 - Pandit Shiv Shankar Sharma & Ustad Zakir Hussain

Regrets - haven't been to any good Carnatic concerts, missed Mark Knopfler
and Iron Maiden when they came to Bangalore, gave away tickets I'd won to
No Doubt in Bangalore 1998 in exchange for a t-shirt. Also came just short
of going to a Paul Simon at Queen's concert in 2018 (apparently his last
one).
