Surprising inclusion: Backstreet Boys? Your daughters aren’t old enough that you were accompanying them?
Omission: Steve Earle
Monday, April 8, 2013
and I thought my husband and I had seen the most concerts of anyone we knew! Obviously not. . . I am so jealous that you saw Wishbone Ash. . . just listening to them with my son last night.

I count 129. Hmmm. Alice Cooper to Ravi Shankar to Phil Collins. Would make for an interesting dinner party.
It occurs to me that you may make some audiologist wealthy.
Monday, April 8, 2013
Hahaha! As a Spaniard I was surprised (but very pleased) to see Paco de Lucia in your list! Grande! 🙂
Monday, April 8, 2013
what about Prince??
Monday, April 8, 2013
How do you remember them all?!
Which concerts were top 10?
Monday, April 8, 2013
I love this “random” post! So, you do have a life outside medicine! Impressive list, but noticed Elton John is missing . . .
Monday, April 8, 2013
Awesome list Arya. If only you had Prince on that list. Some of my favourites Tina Turner, Sting, Tracy Chapman, Eurythmics, Moody Blues…
Backstreet boys made me laugh- but the I recall you have daughters.
Spandu Ballet- really?
Monday, April 8, 2013
Yeah, the big gaps that I wish I’d filled are Prince, Metallica, Elton John, Allman Brothers, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Michael Jackson, CCR, The Who and probably a few others.
Monday, April 8, 2013
Boy you have seen quite a collection. Some most excellent bands too! No surprise that a German guy like yourself would be seeing anything to do with the Shankar boys! Must admit I wish I could have attended several of these.
Monday, April 8, 2013
Wow! I agree- glad to see you have a musical life outside work:) love Robbie Williams. What about Leonard Cohen? Jack Johnson?
Monday, April 8, 2013
Not sure about Cohen – Jack Johnson could be pleasant – still hoping to see Neil Young
BTW – some of these concerts (e.g. Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Genesis, etc.) I either saw for free or for 20 Deutsch Mark! Now you’re looking at a few $100 for a decent ticket.
Monday, April 8, 2013
Arya, your love of music is obviously what makes you such a humanist with all the compassion needed to bring obesity and its understanding to our doors. Do you play music yourself?
Monday, April 8, 2013
Yup, I spend quite a time on my electric guitars (a 1977 Gibson Les Paul and a 2006 60th Anniversary Edition Fender Stratocaster)
Monday, April 8, 2013
I see you missed Iggy Pop and John Cale- all hard working guys on tour just like you
TCB and working overtime!

I’m thinking that KISS, Eagles and Blue Rodeo may help you to round out this eclectic list 🙂
Congrats not only on the musical memories but the weekend OFF work!!
Monday, April 8, 2013
KISS is coming to Edmonton later this year, I might have seen Blue Rodeo (can’t remember) – Eagles I would love to have seen.
Monday, April 8, 2013
What are you top 5 concerts??? I want to know which of the list was the best!!
Monday, April 8, 2013
That’s a tough order – too many great ones, like the first time I saw Jeff Healey as a guest on a concert with BB King – totally unexpected. Then there was Pink Floyd performing the Wall in front of the Berlin Wall that had just fallen (I was on the Berlin wall the night it came down). I saw one of the last Led Zeppelin concerts with Bonham and one of the last Genesis concerts before they split up. I saw Queen before Freddie Mercury passed away. Like I said, too many great memories to list.

Hi Dr. Sharma
While we are not on the topic of obesity…..I was wondering if you have tickets to see Jillian Michaels while she is on tour…post Biggest Loser Season?
Comments?
Thanks

Very impressive–you would get along well with my hubby! Did you see Bon Jovi in Edmonton a few days ago? How were they with Phil X?? Omission: The Pretenders
Monday, April 8, 2013
Omg! You have got to be the funnest and coolest person I wish I knew. I love your music choices–so broad in range. You are a true music lover. I guess I’ll have to visit youtube now. 😀

very impressive list!! I just kept thinking, wow, obviously you didn’t grow up in Edmonton–we certainly never had those kind of opportunities! : )

Hi Dr. S…if you could talk Gene Simmons (K.I.S.S.) to be a celebrity ambassador for obesity education, especially in kids, you may be onto something. He is doing more work in Canada…just a thought.

Always hoped Randy Bachman would volunteer as a spokesperson – after all he seems to have really benefitted from his bariatric surgery.

wow, one of the real losses of rural northern living, not being able to enjoy such wonderful talents in live concert, I dont know if you have ever heard Peter Gaberial, My body is a cage..but it is an awesome song, an I think you would truly enjoy it.
Friday, April 12, 2013
oops, i see him on the list..sorry. he is absolutely a powerful singer, he is on my wish list to see in live concert..
Monday, April 15, 2013
This is a great list. So many great bands. I am going to echo the comment from above. Prince is an omission. You haven’t seen Prince Arya? A Prince concert is like a religious experience. A true party with thousands of fans. I have seen him multiple times and have never been disappointed. He’s a great guitar player. Also missing Stevie Ray Vaughan (RIP), Jay-Z, Swedish House Mafia, Elton John Trooper and April Wine. 🙂

Love how eclectic your musical tastes are!
Tuesday, October 8, 2013
Although I love your eclectic tastes, I wonder what you think about Joe Bonamassa? What do you think of Brian Setzer’s big band style? If I can make one final suggestion, I think you might like Tommy Emmenuel. I am curious what you think of these three. Thank you for sharing your musical taste with us.
Tuesday, October 8, 2013
Would love to see Joe Bonamassa in concert – hear he puts on a great live show. don’t know Brian Setzer and Tommy Emmenuel – will have to check them out.
