[BlackKnight]

Hey Guys,

... Leaving tommorrow to see Alice & Chains with Velvet Revolver at the Gorge In George Up here in Washington . Pretty Excited.. Anyone out there gonna Make it to the show in their home town,.. when they come ?

[huedell]

For me concerts are more like religious pilgramages than pure entertainment
as I look at them as "mostly" a hassle, yet a necessary evil to connect "live" with
artists and music that I respect

With that being said...

I will be seeing VH with Roth this October---and I look forward to that

Have a great time at the ALICE IN CHAINS/VELVET REVOLVER show!

Concerts!

I been to many concerts growing up, not any as of late. My first concert was Ted Nugent back in the 70's, 2nd was Kiss I guess mid 70's they had the full make up and everything, my brother & myself went along with the parents. My first concert without my parents or brother was " Yes " cant remember the year- maybe 1984? From there i saw Ozzy twice,Dio, Motley Crue,Bon Jovi ( when he was an opening band for Ratt) Judas Priest, Aerosmith twice, Bruce Spingstein, Iron Maiden , Zebra, Blondie, Kiss in the 90's no make up, Anthrax , Don Henley & the list goes on & on. But back in the 80's i didnt pay more then 14 bucks for a tciket, maybe 16. Most of the time my friends and i would wait until the show started and the scalpers would drop their price way down to 12 bucks at times.

Yep fun times back then.

Haven't been to any in a looong time. I think the sticker shock of ticket prices is what's doing us in as far as going. Last time REM was thru here it was 75 bucks!! Frickin' crazy.

MY first concert was in 1983 Foghat and Triumph. My father brought me. Needless to say....it was first and last show my father ever attended.

[Dave Mc]

USED to be. I used to go all the time. Back in the day when you had to wait out all night for tickets, we used to do that all the time. Slowed way down in the 90's and in last few years only hit about one a year. Usually smaller shows a buddy of mine (who's a music distrubutor) get's us into for free. Usually get to meet the act afterwards though, so that's cool. The last couple years I've had the chance to meet and chat one on one with a couple of my all time favorites. Been pretty cool.

Hey I'd give anything to go to Kiss concert

[Meule]

Yeah, me and Dafne go to concerts and festivals all the time. I've seen so many bands in the past 15 years there are just too many to mention, almost all metal bands

[toysrus]

Concerts!!

The Van Halen re-union should be cool, i just it would have happened 10 years ago. Pink Floyd should do one last farewell tour, but it doesnt seem likley.

I also you used wait out all night for concert tickets, once we did this in NY, i think for Billy Squire, my cousin and myself among 30 more people who sat out on line al night woke up at like 4am to have close to an inch of snow on top of us, it was wild, the crowd was cool though, a friendly snowball fight took place then we got our tickets.

Hey I'd give anything to go to Kiss concert

What can I say...not My type of Music. But Ya know...The did put on a good Show. It was 1978...We bought Ticket's at the last minute, from a Scalper, for $20. a piece. I was 13...it was the 1st Live Concert I'd ever been to.

[Merlyn1976]

Only concerts I ever go to are Ozzfest....but then again 10-15 bands playing from noon to midnight....can't beat that
