Concert attendance


I realize for many people the concert season is just getting started, but this season seems a little different. The economy seems tighter and people are a little concerned about financial circumstances.
I have been to only one concert this year, but I do have tickets for a concert in August. I hope to go to more shows this year, but I don't have any plans right now.
Are you going to be attending as many concerts this year as you have in the past?

Looking foreward to seeing Robert Earl Keene in August; it'll be the first time that I've seen him. Yes, less concerts this year, mostly due to time constraints.
Viridian, I just saw Robert Earl Keene in a small neighborhood theater here in Charlotte. He was great! His warm-up "band", Matt King, was also very, very good. If he's there, you might want to buy his cd since the quality is quite good. Enjoy.
I went to see Arthur Lee of the band "Love" backed by a 15 piece orchestra last night. On the way there, i ran into three separate but very distinct problems. While none of these were major, i took it as "someone" trying to tell me that i wasn't supposed to see this show. I followed my "superstitious intuition" and went back home. I'm sure that i missed a once in a lifetime show, but that's not all i might have been involved with if i had continued on. I'm one of those people that thinks "everything happens for a reason".

Hopefully, my future outings will be a little more enjoyable : ) Sean

My wife and I are going to see Peter Gabriel in a new (and quite small venue) in our area this summer. I was stunned at this choice of venue. Usually an act like his would fill a large arena. Perhaps he's scaling down... Anyway, tickets were quite reasonable for excellent seats...can't recall the cost (can't find the tickets, either....hope my wife has them!). This is a Canadian date. How much were the tickets in your area? (If you don't mind me asking...)
Wdhsvbgod: I saw Peter on what was the very first show of this tour at the tale end of last year. My girlfriend is a big fan of his and we ended up with front row seats. The show was very good. According to a local radio station that polled their audience, the show that we were at was voted best concert of 2002 !!! While i don't know if i would go that far, it was a very good show and far more entertaining than i thought it would be. Have a good time !!! Sean
