I just bought tickets to Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood in June, it has been a while since I bought tickets $148.00 each.

Wow I've never paid that much for tickets to anything.

TOOL_5150 · 03-25-2009, 11:06 PM

the only ticket ive paid that much [or more for] was a speeding ticket.

I sure hope you get your money's worth!

Sounds like clapton is too proud of himself.

Seen Primus, Meatpuppets, No Doubt, Bush, Rage Against the Machine (x2), went to Bonnaroo 2003, and a few Memphis is May's. Haven't been to much in the past couple of years

.

Would love to see Tool/Perfect Circle except they seem to be in Europe touring most of the time. Keep hearing that Rage Against the Machine is getting back together also.

EDIT: Oh yeah, some co-workers dragged me to see KISS for the last tour in full makeup, that had to be one of the best shows I have seen.

Stones, Stevie Wonder, Elton John (5-6 times), George Harrison, Paul McCartney, ShaNaNA, James Taylor, Frank Zappa, Elvis, Billy Preston, Jim Croce, Rod Stewart and Faces, and a lot more that were lost in a haze that was the late 60's early 70's.

kbsparky · 03-26-2009, 08:17 PM

Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, Paul McCartney & Wings, John Denver, Billy Joel, Elton John, Mac Davis, and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra are several that comes to mind.

I just bought tickets to see Janes's Addiction with Nine Inch Nails, I got presale 7th row for $110 each through Jane's Addiction's website.

This is the first time Jane's Addiction is touring with all original members in 17 years and I can not wait to experience this. Jane's Addiction posters adorned my walls as a teen and I was devastated when they disbanded in 1991. Not to mention I am also a huge Nine Inch Nails fan.

For an interesting article written by Trent Reznor on the entire ticket industry look here, it is a quick read, and quite informative.

Been to a ton of shows and even more local shows. Some of my favorites include Tool, 311, Atmosphere, and Glassjaw. There are probably some more I liked a lot but that's all I can remember for now.

There's a patch of woods and a railroad highline between my back yard and the local fairgrounds. I can sit out on the back porch and hear concerts for free all summer long if I want to. No tickets necessary.

macmikeman · 03-27-2009, 01:54 AM

Stones, Pink Floyd, P. Harem, Deep Purple, ZZ, Santana, Doobies, Sabath, Molly Hatchet, Skinner and Outlaws probably 20 times each, CSN, Eagles, Loggins and Messina, Ac Dc, Super Tramp, Boston, Savoy Brown, Spirit, Buffet, Black Oak, Them guys who sang Easy Living(senior moment), America, Devo, The Tubes, Commander Cody, 38 Special, Allman Bros, Blue Oyster Cult, Terrible Ted, Arrowsmith, Moody Blues, Journey, Stevey Ray, and many I cannot recall at present, Stones were the best of all of em, hands down. Side note- my oldest sister saw the Beatles in Detroit for about 5 bucks in 64 or 65.
