What was the last concert you attended and when was it?

[JimmyJazz]

My last one was George Thorogood - 1985ish. Oh gawds, I'm old. :o

[leftofthedial]

1. me

last weekend

aaack. I'm old.

[Melodybe]

8. The Rock the Vote Concert I organized last year.

It was awesome.

I almost went to Memphis in May, but after a long ass weekend we literally didn't have the energy to drive to Memphis and see Sarah McLachlan, Billy Idol, and Medisky, Martin, and Wood. I'm sure it was great but we were tired.

[leftofthedial]

28. too bad

but traveling tired sucks and it's impossible to enjoy the show when you're wiped out

[redqueen]

10. You were in concert? n/t

[leftofthedial]

30. yes

now a couple of weeks "off." Yippee!

"off" means I get to do different work.

[redqueen]

35. Heh

What... don't like being up till 4 a.m. anymore? ;)

[leftofthedial]

46. I'll still be up--I don't sleep much it seems

I'll still be performing incognito a couple of times a week, trying out some new stuff

but I'm also trying to sell one house, trying to buy another, trying to put together a concert series through the end of the year, doing a whole bunch of music biz and legal nonsense, catching up on managing my own so-called career, starting a new recording project . . .

I need a vacation!!

[redqueen]

55. Sounds like it!

Just reading that makes me feel tired. :P

[SheepyMcSheepster]

2. sonic youth

little less than a year ago maybe?

[friesianrider]

3. Bush (the band, not the war criminal) around 1997 or so.

Saw them twice in concert actually...they are the only band I've ever seen.

[Texasgal]

4. Cake

Two weeks ago!

[alpizzy]

24. I am so jealous!!!!

Was it the best???
We need a "green with envy" smilie!

[Texasgal]

38. You know....

Funny thing, they were AWESOME live. You sometimes go to these live venues and the band sounds like shit... but they were "tight" well put together....I was amazed.

Very good show!

[loudestchick]

133. Also, waaaaay jealous!

[xmas74]

146. My brother saw them around the same time!

[SCDem]

5. A group of bands

but the only one I remembered was Train (notable song "Meet Virginia") - It was in 1999 or 2000 don'r remember which year.

[redqueen]

6. Tool - 1998

[otohara]

7. Elvis Costello - 4 Months Ago

Fillmore in Denver

[JimmyJazz]

9. Dayum - I love Elvis!

[jobycom]

11. Jerry Jeff Walker, at the rodeo

Don't tell me there aren't any redneck Democrats.

[southlandshari]

89. Redneck Democrat right here

And proud of it, darlin'!

[jobycom]

95. There's a bunch of us. A new trend I've noticed is Democratic stickers

on pickup trucks. Not pretty yuppie trucks, either, the real working pickup trucks.

[Blue_In_AK]

124. I used to see Jerry Jeff Walker

at a coffee house in Houston back in the early '60s sometime. He's a lot of fun.

[Bossy Monkey]

12. Robert Earl Keen, back in May

unless you mean arena/stadium shows only, in which case that would be U2 about 8 years ago.

[progmom]

13. Femi Kuti

10 days ago.


You haven't been to a concert since 1985? Really?

[JimmyJazz]

15. Yeah - and look who it was!

:crazy: :rofl:

[progmom]

39. yup - saw that

:P ;)

[Booster]

14. The Corrs in November - absolutely fabulous. An Irish family of

3 sisters and a brother. If you ever get a chance to see them, do, you won't regret it. Going to see Stevie Nicks on Tuesday - I'm not a huge fan, but my best friend is so it's a gift.

[The White Tree]

32. The Corrs rock

My wife and I brought her parents to a Corrs concert last summer. They never heard of them and are in their 60's, 70's and enjoyed them.

I just saw Stevie Nicks 2 weeks ago. She was awesome. My wife is a huge fan, I am a moderate fan but the show she put on was spectacular.

Keep an eye on her lead guitarist, Waddy Wachtel. He's been with her for years. He has a lot more to do with the arrangements this time around and has a bigger part in the overall show.

Also, the backdrops are very cool, most are her own artwork.

Hope you enjoy it.

[Booster]

94. Wow. Thanks for letting me know about Stevie. I am, like you, a

moderate fan so I'm really looking forward to seeing her. I'm so glad the show is good, and will really look smart pointing out that most of the artwork is her own. ha I also bought The Corrs DVD and watched it the other night. I am just so impressed with them and, like you say, any age can appreciate them. I liked it when they did Irish tunes more than anything; you just can't help but be carried away and start to smile. I'm always checking to see when they will tour again. We missed the drummer because she was giving birth, but on the DVD she was awesome so I want to see them again. I'm 62 and not to old to enjoy.

[LSK]

99. the Corrs last August

Hey, its cool to find some Corrs fans.

Are you guys on corrsonline.com?

[MN ChimpH8R]

16. Moody Blues

Three and a half weeks ago on June 26. :)

[Blue_In_AK]

125. I'm so glad they're still out touring...

I saw them up here about 10 years ago or so. Fabulous.

[xmas74]

147. Can I just call you a nasty name right now and get it over with?

I hate you! I'm so jealous (cuz I couldn't afford tickets this year!).

[HeeBGBz]

154. Love the Moodies!

I usually go when they pass anywhere in my vicinity. I missed them on this tour though. Lucky you!

[EC]

163. Saw them last year, and thought they sounded the same if not

better...When they sang the words "I'm looking for someone to change my life, I'm looking for a miracle in my life..." Everyone sang, and it felt so wierd, like everyone really was making that wish...

[teach1st]

17. Frank Zappa -- 1988

[JimmyJazz]

31. See - once you've seen the best, it's tough to go to other concerts!

:hi:

[Initech]

73. *is extremely envious*

Damn, listening to the live stuff recorded on that tour makes me wish I could have gone to it. Zappa >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all

Although I was only 8 years old at the time, I dont know if they would have let me in any of the shows!

[left hand man]

168. Saw Frank Zappa TWICE in Atlanta--- GREAT SHOW--- none better

[Shell Beau]

18. Lynyrd Skynyrd and Allman Brothers sometime in May I think!

[catzies]

19. Last month. Bad Religion. After a progressive women's caucus meeting.

I wore a jacket over my PowerPunk girls t-shirt. Hard to take someone seriously who's running a meeting wearing this, isn't it?



I love that shirt. I gave it to my daughter & borrow it back from her. She's 25. I'm 42. :evilgrin:

[ghostsofgiants]

33. Haha, that shirt is great

Bad Religion is also great.

[ET Awful]

20. Hmmm, probably a small music festival for alternative energy

up in Vermont back in 2002 or so. No big names, a bunch of New England bands mostly.

[ghostsofgiants]

21. Wintersleep CD release party back in February

There have been plenty I've intended to see since then, but it just never happens. The concert gods hate me.

[Squeech]

22. Birdsongs of the Mesozoic

at the Berklee Performance Center, last week.

Age is no excuse not to go check out live music-- I'm older than you. (Of course, I live in a community that has Berklee in it.)

In fact, I saw DUer bbertolini play when I was in Philadelphia last month. And somebody else at the Grape Street Bar, or whatever its name is.

[I Know How To Do it]

36. Ha! I saw them at a little Mexican restaurant called, El Poco Loco

in New Haven, Ct.
Had to have been 91 or so. They were really good.
I'm suprised they are still together since Mission of Burma reformed.

[Squeech]

52. They got back together!?

Just kidding, I knew that.

Actually, none of the Burma guys are still in the band. Miller left in 1988 or thereabouts to go solo, and then started a bunch of other projects. (He did sit in with Birdsongs at Berklee, however, even playing piano on "Beat of the Mesozoic, Part 2.") Guitarist Martin Swope left in about 1991 and moved to Hawaii, and isn't part of the 21st century Burma.

Birdsongs sound pretty much like you remember them, although Swope's replacement is a more polished guitarist (and terrific composer).

[I Know How To Do it]

57. Well that would explain it then. I really never knew much about

Birdsongs other than them doing, The Theme to Rocky and Bullwinkle on a Rykodisk comp that I had. But I liked the song well enough to see them.

[The White Tree]

23. Stevie Nicks - 2 weeks ago

She was awesome. Vaneesa Carlton was the opening act.

Prior to that it was The Kelly Bell Band at a local winery.

2 weeks before

And prior to that Santana and Los Lonely Boys in June.

Next will be Tom Petty and Black Crowes. July 29.

[ronnykmarshall]

106. I'm seeing her next Tuesday!

[vi5]

25. Slint reunion shows at Irving Plaza...

This past April.

[I Know How To Do it]

26. Austin City Limits Festival last year

Bunch of bands,
Most noatably,
Pixies
Modest Mouse
Dale Watson
Franz Ferdinand
Martin, Mediski, and Wood
Rosanne Cash
Wilco
Spoon
Gatemouth Brown
The Gourds
Cat Power
Joe Ely
Neko Case
Drive-By Truckers
Elvis Costello
Shelby Lynne


Lot's of other stuff too, but these are the ones I saw.

[redqueen]

40. Ooooooooh!

I remember reading about that lineup, and being so sad I couldn't go.

I'm jealous!

:bounce:

[I Know How To Do it]

45. Yeah it was really great, but it was over 100 degrees everyday

It was Brutal!

[GOPisEvil]

93. I was there, sweltering away.

I saw most of those bands, too. :thumbsup:

[jobycom]

100. I've got to start to hanging with you. You have way more fun than me!

[GOPisEvil]

105. Yeah, yeah, I was home doing laundry last night.

But, brunch Sunday, Trudy's North 10:00.

[jobycom]

98. Not bad, if you happen to like

good music!!! Damn, nice lineup.

[alpizzy]

27. They Might Be Giants

Last year in Ann Arbor

[SmokingJacket]

127. I saw them last year too...

If you hadn't reminded me I'd have said Pavement, 1997.

[GalleryGod]

29. Mary Chapin Carpenter-Keswick Theatre-June 8th, 2005

Mary Rocked!:yourock:

[jobycom]

101. She was my second-to-last concert, about twelve years ago

She does, indeed, rock!

[GOPisEvil]

137. Austin Music Hall?

The opening band got tired of being messed with so they threatened to start playing '80s tunes? Then they closed with "Jesse's Girl"?

If that's the show, I was there. In fact, that was one of the first shows with the AMH name, it had been the Austin Opera House.

[jobycom]

139. No, Bass Concert Hall

I think the opening act was Commander Cody. He did a really long, complex version of "Hot Rod Lincoln." No one messed with them, they were quite well received.

It was twelve years ago, because my spouse was pregnant with my now 12 year old daughter. About six to seven months along, I think. My daughter has a great sense of music, and we always tease that Mary-Chapin did it for her.

[GOPisEvil]

141. Hmmm...maybe it was more recent that I saw her.

I know I saw her though. :D

[politicaholic]

34. "Go Like Hell" last week and MAN did they rock!

It's nice to know rock and roll with some balls is still alive and kicking in Seattle rather than all of that spineless EMO crap on the radio and on MTV. What a bunch of wusses...I swear.

[swag]

37. Hm.

Classical - Paul Neubauer Viola Recital, Vladimir Feltsman accompanist, July 9, 2005

Rock - Gang of Four, May 2005

and Hell's Belles (all-girl AC/DC tribute band), June 2005, for my fabulous fucking birthday.

Jazz - (this was too long ago) Curtis Stigers, April 2005.

I've been meaning to go see Mel Brown's combo down at Jimmy Mak's.

Going to see Anne Marie McDermott play the Goldberg Variations tomorrow night. I'm very fucking excited about this.

[FuzzySlippers]

116. Chamber Music Northwest, huh?

I was there three weeks ago. Heard the Brandenburgs. I would love to hear the Goldberg Variations, but alas, I'm back in Iowa.:(

[swag]

136. Did you go to the one at Reed Kaul or the one at Catlin Gabel?

I had wondered if you were bitching about Portland Birkenstocks at your concert. That was you, right?

For the record, I dressed up, like you did.

[FuzzySlippers]

140. Catlin Gabel.

Severe shortage of stalls in the women's room. They had some porta-potties set up.

:rofl:

[swag]

148. That's classy.

I was in the fourth row, sort of on the right-hand side of the audience. This afforded me great views of those Kavafian vixens.

[ovidsen]

128. An all-girl AC/DC tribute band??

Now THAT I'd love to see! What would Bon Scott have thought? :evilgrin:

[swag]

132. I don't know, but it's a great show,

endorsed by Angus himself.

http://www.hellsbelles.info

[left hand man]

169. I saw AC-DC(with Bonn Scott) mid 1970's

At Atlanta Symphony Hall (Cheap Trick opened for them) AWESOME SHOW!!!It sits about 1800 people and the sound was overpowering(AC-DC).
We were 3rd row center. GREAT

[Blue-Jay]

41. Last night we saw the band War.

They kicked ass.

[sundog]

42. phish & neil young

though not together, both around the same time in '96

eek! getting older too :blush:

but there is live music all the time at my place, so it's not like i am deprived of that live energy... just on a smaller scale :7

[tenshi816]

43. The "V" Festival in Staffordshire, England last August.

We go every year and there are too many bands to list, but you can go here to see: http://www.vfestival.com/vfestival/pages/index.cfm

It's coming up again 20th/21st August, and I'm ready for it. This is exactly the size of festival I can still handle. The idea of Glastonbury's just too much for me nowadays (but I love watching the 3 days of coverage on the BBC - hey, would that count as attending if next year I take a TV outside, put up a small tent, turn on the garden hose and roll around in mud while watching the bands?).

[cheeseit]

51. Hey, I was at the Chelmsford one!

Went there to finally see my favourite band of all time, the Pixies- without any hyperbole one of the greatest days of my life!

[tenshi816]

65. Yes, it was a fine time - the Pixies were fabulous!

I love Frank Black.

Are you going this year? We got our tickets early because of being repeat customers.

I know some people talk shite about the V Festival (and why is that, is it because it has sponsors?), but in my opinion it's just going from strength to strength. I'm happy to take my son with me (he was 14 last week and this will be his 4th festival), but I won't take him to Glastonbury because it's just too damn big as far as I'm concerned - like I said, it makes me uncomfortable. I figure my boy can go to Glastonbury with his mates when he's older.

[cheeseit]

77. Totally agree

Sadly it's trendy for people who care more about their hipster reputation than about music to slate V- because of the sponsorship thing as you mentioned, and also I think precisely because it is the kind of place people can feel totally comfortable taking their families.

That's just stupid, though- both times I've been to V it's been awesome and had a great atmosphere, made better by the lack of pretentiousness. And no-one can argue with the quality of the music, the headliners over the last few years have been terrific, and last year especially there were some awesome lesser known bands on the smaller stages.

Unfortunately I can't make it this year- I would've LOVED to see Sonic Youth!- but I don't doubt it'll be fantastic again!

[tenshi816]

109. I especially love the smaller stages,

although I hate the JJB tent because it's hot and smelly and feels like I'm standing in a marsh. Shame, too, because there are some good acts in there every year that I miss out on because I can't stand being in that enclosed area.

Hmmm, methinks I might have a teensy problem with claustrophobia...

I usually prefer the NME stage. Last year, I especially liked the Kings of Leon, the Zutons, and the Scissor Sisters there. The Scissor Sisters are headlining this year (but you probably already knew that) and I feel they're better suited to the smaller stage than the main stage, but maybe that's just me.

[cheeseit]

110. the NME stage is great

Last year other than the Pixies my two highlights were Goldie Looking Chain (juvenile, I know, but they crack me up) and - and I know I'm waving goodbye to any musical credibility here - the Fountains of Wayne, both on the NME stage. I see what you mean about the Scissor Sisters, their act probably is better suited to the smaller stage, but I think last year the organisers badly underestimated how quickly their popularity would grow- i could barely get close enough to hear them!

[tenshi816]

144. Goldie Looking Chain - priceless!!! n/t

[pdx_prog]

44. Dennis Deyoung....

Going to see some members of Yes in a couppole of weeks, and I have McCartney tickets for November!

[BrotherBuzz]

47. Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks

Late 2001...after that September thingy. I remember because they had just started flying commercial airplanes again, and I saw the first one that afternoon while I sat on the bank of the Sacramento river listening to Dan Hicks sing "I Scare myself, just thinking about you".

[MrSlayer]

48. Ozzfest two nights ago.

Walked in and saw Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath. A splendid time was had by all.

[KG]

49. Jimmy Lafave - 6/10/05 - very tasty.

[jonnyblitz]

50. warped tour , randall's island, NYC 2004, next one will be NIN

Madison Sguare Garden, November 3, tickets are in the mail... :P

on edit: of course somebody might be playing i dont know about prior to November 3 yet within the NYC-Boston parameter who i might just have to go see..

[cheeseit]

53. Fairport Convention in March

And damn good they were, too!

[Saphire]

54. Los Lonely Boys at the Austin Public Library Benefit just last year

[wryter2000]

56. Last January

Tower of Power at the Nugget in Reno.

[Chichiri]

58. Dream Theater, 2002

I need to get out more.

[Mr. McD]

59. Judy Collins

"Maybe" 4 years ago.:shrug:

[patcox2]

60. The Sex Pistols, 2003

Original lineup. Rottten lost the weight and looked good. Amazing.
Before that, Ringo Starr, and Paul McCartney in 2002. All the living Beatles.

[JimmyJazz]

62. I have to giggle. It wasn't the original line up - Sid Vicious has been

dead for quite some time ;) But, I'm sure it was a good show anyway!

[swag]

63. a note: Glen Matlock was the original bassist.

[swag]

64. a duped note: Glen Matlock was the original bassist.

He was replaced by Sid after being ejected for "wanting us to be like the Monkees" and "always washing his feet; always trying to show me Beatles chords."

[swag]

66. Though it is true that Wally was long gone.

[patcox2]

68. I have to giggle, Sid was not in the original lineup.

Sid was a groupie who was added to the band just before the end; he could not play at all and the others hated him, though Rotten seemed to take pity and tried to protect him (according to Rotten).

Though some think the Pistols were a publicity stunt manufactured by Malcolm Mclaren, they apparently did not think so and resented his interference, and apparently putting Sid in the band was one of these things.

Not one guitar solo in their entire body of work, do you know how revolutionary that was in 1976? You really notice it when you see them.

So, anyway, keep giggling about how little I know about the Pistols.

[JimmyJazz]

70. Ha ha ha ha! It's still not the pistols without Sid and his crazy antics!

But, I stand corrected :)

[patcox2]

72. What're you, some kind of Clash fan?

Given a choice, I wish I could have seen the Clash, but the Pistols were much much much better than anyone woould probably believe. The lack of antics allowed me to see the band, and not the travelling circus McLaren was foisting on the world.

[JimmyJazz]

75. The Clash were great in concert. I was fortunate enough to see

them six times in concert. They were pure energy. Joe never gave less than 100% for the fans. That leg of his moved like a jack-hammer for the entire concert and, at the end of every show, you could see he was physically exhausted. I'm sorry that you didn't get to see them in concert.

[LynneSin]

61. Live8 last July. Seeing Green Day at the end of August

:D

[UncleSepp]

67. Seattle Opera, "Carmen", last year?

Closest thing to a concert I've been to in a while. Next month, though, whoo boy! Ring tickets! YAY!

Hm, I think the last rock concert I went to was probably Rammstein at the Moore about two years ago. That was amazing - the band works so hard, Till especially, at connecting with the audience. Very impressive.

[unhappycamper]

69. I've got a part time job ushering concerts, so I see about 20 ~ 25 a year.

The last time I paid to see a concert was last year - Robert Cray.

[Initech]

71. Judas Priest w/ Queensryche, last week

At Irvine Meadows. It was quite an awesome show.

Sunday, though, - MEGADETH!!!! :headbang: :headbang:

[liss681]

74. VNV Nation

about 6 weeks ago

[Lilith Velkor]

107. same here, a month ago

"Chrome" is my latest favorite song. :)

[liss681]

135. I love them

They have become one of my favorites... I really like Forsaken, Darkangel, Lastlight, and Solitary.

[biscodawg]

76. moe. at 4th and B's

this past april. good times by all

[flamingyouth]

78. Fenris & I saw John Doe & Lucinda Williams back in June.

At the Summer Nights at South Lake Union series. It was kind of cold and we were sitting near annoying people, but the music was great.

[JimmyJazz]

79. Cool - well, except for the annoying people part.

:hi:

[flamingyouth]

81. Yeah, they were awful, but that's for a whole other thread

:D :hi:

[JimmyJazz]

85. I could open up a complaint department thread!

In fact, I think I will.

BTW - tell Fenris my shirt might arrive today - and, if it does, I'm posting a picture just for him :D

[flamingyouth]

86. Oh yeah - please do

I know he wants his own shirt! :D

[otohara]

80. Jimmy Jazz

get your ass to some live music man!

I saw George Thorogood in 1980 something - Thank Gawd that wasn't my last concert.

[JimmyJazz]

83. It really is rather sad isn't it?

But, can I just say that I didn't actually *pay* to see the concert? :)

[I Know How To Do it]

87. I saw Lover Boy for free but when the guy came out on the

first song and started, "Everyone's watching"...SMACK!
Right in the face with a full can of Fosters right in the head.
Knocked him flat on the ground.
I can't remember a time I laughed so hard.

[FuzzySlippers]

82. Nerd checking in.

Chamber Music Northwest. The complete Brandenburg Concertos. July 1.

[JimmyJazz]

84. I thought you told me you had never been to a concert!

:crazy:

[FuzzySlippers]

91. I told you I'd never been to a rock concert.

But don't go blabbing that all over the place.

[JimmyJazz]

92. Okay. I promise not to tell that you've never been to a rock concert.

Not that I'm any better. I haven't been in 20 years.

[eyepaddle]

88. Judas Priest, June 1st 2005

Hey, if they're good enopugh for MATCOM they're good enough for YOU!

[Initech]

104. See my other post in this thread. Priest rules live!

:headbang: :headbang:

[GOPisEvil]

90. Spoon at Stubb's BBQ Ampitheater about a month ago.

Got in for free - having friends that are music writers can be a good thing. :thumbsup:

[bigwillq]

96. Aerosmith in 2003

:hi:

[no name no slogan]

97. Brian Wilson, "Smile" Tour, last spring

Also, just missed the Gang of Four reunion on May 10. Decided to have a nervous breakdown and got to psych ward instead. :dunce:

[terrya]

102. The Go-Go's at The Vic here in Chicago 2 years ago.

[General Zod]

103. Yes at the Greensboro Coliseum, April 2004 .

They looked and played very well, with the exception of Steve Howe. He was shockingly thin and frail-looking.

[RJRoss]

108. The Tragically Hip

last October at the Aladdin Theater in Portland, Oregon. TINY venue, rockin' good show! It's the fourth time I've seen the Hip (Canada's best-kept secret).

[lies and propaganda]

111. The Mars Volta less that 2 months ago.

I am addicted to live music.
Just was lucky enough to see a weekend of Nine Inch Nails in May as well.

And, not a concert, but I did get to see the lovely Ms. Randi Rodes speaking here in Phoenix. It was at a bar and toward the end of the night she was in the same place as most us, complete with beer and cigarette in hand while on stage. She is one hot mama.

[hickman1937]

112. Bob Seger a long time ago.

I was a coke addict at the time, so I mostly remember the party in the bathroom.

[stlsaxman]

113. King Crimson 2003(4)

"The Power To Believe" Tour

[BartInPC]

114. Nanci Griffith...

We drove up to Atlanta during the July 4th weekend. She just released a new album early this year, and she's in top form these days. We were 'bout three rows from the stage in the middle. Perfect seats out under the stars. :)

[Schema Thing]

115. Saw Loretta Lynn's bus parked at an odd looking building in Podunckville

Oklahoma a few weeks ago while driving back to Texas from Missouri, and thought, "I'd like to see her, dammit...and I might not get another chance". The timing seemed right, it was about 6:45 pm, so I turned around and drove back to the Choctaw gambling casino and enjoyed her short (hey, she's 70 years old) Branson-ish show.

It was magic.

[Nikia]

117. Summerfest in Milwaukee

on July 5, 20005. Lots of bands play there all day (It is a 2 week musical festival). The main focus of our attention. the last band we saw that evening was Seether.

[khashka]

118. Oh fuck don't ask me this!

Rick Springfeild at the Concord Pavilion. My little sister wanted to go so I took her.

Whatever street cred I might have had just got trashed... but I get points for being a great older brother, right?

Khash.

[JimmyJazz]

120. *pointing and laughing* - ha ha ha ha ha ha

And you get triple bonus points for being the best older brother a girl could want :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[flvegan]

119. Rise Against, last week. And. They. Kicked. Ass.

My favorite band now...well, Beasties aside, anyway.

[yellowdogintexas]

121. Willie Nelson's Fourth of July Picnic and Concert...7/4/2005

and it was awesome!

I also saw Polyphonic Spree w/Crispini on Friday night before the 4th and on Saturday, attended a picnic with the Bilge Pumps as the concert feature.

I normally don't attend concerts, either.

[HeeBGBz]

155. Wow, he still has picnics???

I went to the Bicentennial one in '76. Three days that I barely remember, but what a party!

[yellowdogintexas]

157. yeah, if you can call 25000 people a picnic.

This is the second year in a row he has had it @ Billy Bob's Texas..there is a big piece of land called the north forty and it has been fixed up as a concert venue..bring your favorite comfy lawn chair and settle in for the day.

It started at 11 am and probably wound down about 2 am. I did not stay for the whole thing but I did stay for Bob Dylan. It was hot, but it was fun.

[mac56]

134. R.E.M.

The "Green" tour. Twas then I discovered I was too old to go to concerts anymore. Paid top dollar for good tickets. And all I could see was the ass of the snot-nose stoner dumbf*uck sitting ahead of me who insisted on jumping up and shaking his boo-tay. Super-sized, I may add, from years of couch-potatoery.

I asked him to sit down. He said, "Why don't you stand up yourself?" I replied, "That's the point. I don't want to block the people sitting behind ME." Words were exchanged, and I realized I'd rather spend my money to be around polite people, thankyouverymuch.

Also saw the Sex Pistols at a small venue in Atlanta($4.00).Was offered $80.00 for my ticket but turned it down. afterward I figured I screwed myself, as they SUCKED live. thanks for the memories---------------------
