[Zachow 1st MRB]

When I was 8 I was dragged to a Brittany Spears concert by my aunt and 3 cousins at Summerfest. I wondered off after 30 minutes and then when security found me I hung out with them for 2 hours until they found my aunt.

I have been to Summerfest for 15 years in a row multiple times each year, so I have seen well over 100 concerts.

[Jasko]

I've only been to 2, but the 1st concert was the Steve Miller Band and the second was a bunch of local bands, 1 of which my friends and i actually know.

Rush (Probably tied for best show I've ever seen)

Foo Fighters

Bella Fleck & the Flecktones (one of the most talented bands on the planet!)

Apartment 26 (opened for Rollins Band, and did pretty well I thought...)

...and I've played too many shows with local bands all over Chicago & IL to remember who the hell they all were. Jammed a little with some of the dudes from Russian Circles - that was a blast! They opened for Tool a couple times and had some cool stories.
