greasywheels121 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I was just at the Dave Matthews Band concert at the Verizon Wireless Center in Noblesville, IN on Monday. That was the first time I've ever seen him live; I absolutely loved that. I really want to see him again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly8509CWS Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I'm going to quite a few this summer. I'm seeing Don Henley/Stevie Nicks tomorrow night. Tom Petty in July, Dave Matthews Band again in Wisconsin in July, Jack Johnson in August. And hopefully Alkaline Trio tonight. I would see Jimmy Buffett but the whole Wrigley thing scared me off.

I got tickets for Mac in September. I'm taking my kids to see him because they're already pretty hardcore Beatleheads (now how did that happen?) and they'd murder me if they grew up to find out they had a chance to see him perform and I didn't take them.

It is worth the big bucks, and I don't say that very often. 2 1/2 hour show with no breaks for Sir Paul, and none of the concert version songs. He played tons of music from all of this eras.

Also you can follow stubhub, and see if the tickets drop in price as you get closer to the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 (edited) I got onto Ticketmaster at 10:00:01 on the day the Paul tix went on sale with all of my credit card info already logged into a registered account and I got my tix in the first 5 minutes. Since we're taking the kids we hade to settle for the nosebleed seats because your're right, SS, the good seats would set you back a bundle. I made the mistake of not getting tickets the day they went on for the last show (the one you and everybody else still drools over) and I missed it because I could't cough up the scalper prices for them. I saw both of the tours in the 90s that had some of the same band as the last show plus Linda had not gotten sick yet, and they were great shows.

Now you know how I voted, but lets just say I got vetoed Enjoy the concert, plenty of kids have grown up nicely in apartments. But kids without a solid musical base, well let's just say it probably doesn't work. BTW, Magical Mystery Tour just appeared in #1 son's musical library. Watching him spend his own money makes the purchase even better. He even grabbed some stuff that Hammerhead sent and was checking that out.

LosMediasBlancas Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I'm so geeked about this summer's big concerts. I'm gonna see The Black Crowes and Tom Petty, at both Summerfest in Milwaukee and at the Tweeter Center in Tinley. Also going to Lollapalooza, 2 days in Grant Park. Also try to get into the clubs once a week for smaller shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Going to see the Intonation Music Festival at Union Park, probably only for the first day so I can see Tortoise. Xiu Xiu and The Decemberists are mighty tempting, but I'll pass. Also going to see Sigur Ros in September for the second time. Can't wait.

bmags Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 i'm going both days because i want to see tortoise and the Go! team ... but i might just go see the go team at the double door on the 15th...day two will be awesome...i want to see the decemberists (whom i saw at the metro in april and were phenominal...picaresque songs sounded so great especially mariners revenge!)...The wrens excite me to see and ANDREW BIRD!! if you haven't heard his album andrew bird and the mysterious production of eggs go get it. Its got a wilco-esque(beatle-esque) production value to it while he has a great voice and uses the violin exquisitely...a wonderful album... also xiu xiu but i'm kind of luke warm on them but i'd like to see them live... all for only 22 bucks!!! AND i'm gonna see modest mouse on the 28th i think it is...that should be awesome especially in that venue...i just hope we have a more retro lineup...nothing beats moon and antarctica and lonesome crowded west songs live..

kapkomet Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I'll be going to McCartney in November... I can't wait. And Flaxx, when you see it in September you'll have to post a preview for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of that ultra Indie noise rock geeky s*** is just too wierd for me. It's almost like wierdness just for that sake of being different and pretentious. A lot of it really sux. Sigur Ros puts me to sleep, but hey to each his own, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singing along with all the songs is quite a great experience. About the only thing I dislike about Toby Keith is he is on the wrong side of the Red River Rivalry. Instead of singing I should have been a cowboy, he should be singing I should have been a Texan I imagine "I love this bar" must have been huge.
