A Sea Of Red

<decided against bumping PH's original concert thread b/c ATRAIN derailed it with his awful music selections and PH is a latent egomaniac>

the MEDIC family making a couple shows this summer

started last night with Trivium/Volbeat who friggin' brought it. GREAT show- highly recommend them

next up a rather eclectic range of acts (I take credit for the cool ones and blame MRS PA for the others)

GaGa
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Nine Inch Nails/Soundgarden (hopefully)
ZZ Top

[2013 was just as weird- including Pink and MGMT]

we're well rounded

somebody posted this... (not me I have a nextel phone)

old dudes (CIDER) I think you'd dig these guys: heavy Elvis influence in lotsa their songs

even brought the little ones up at the end... really cool even tho it was midnight on a school nite

watch the little dude in the white with glasses and the little girl w/ the headband

I took the wife to see Lady Antebellum and Billy Currington for our anniversary. Surprisingly a very good show.

Not a lot around these parts. Tentatively looking at Crüe/Alice Cooper in Grand Rapids in July and KISS/Def Leppard in Charlotte. Mi wanted to see Alice in Chains in Roanoke but church obligations make it a no go.

And I am the concert geek here and deserve my own thread!

geek=operative word, aka "rachet"

MEDIC=stud

and I don't travel that far... my stuff is all within 45 min of my house

try moving to civilization

This thought left me in a daze earlier this week: Soundgarden, as a band, is 30 years old.

yeah if you ever want to feel ancient google the demo's on most of these groups

esp the ones you loved as a kid

and the classic rock bands? forget it... REALLY depressing

"I hope I die before I get olllllddddd...." : uh, about that... whoops

Im hoping to get the wife tickets to Miranda Lambert for our anniversary.

Who has time or the cash for concerts these days? I try to take my son or daughter to a show once a year and it nearly bankrupts me.

You are a horrible parent

Secondary Market last minute is the way to go. SeatGeek is my go to.

yeah its not cheap.

we've been paying anywhere from 35 bucks up to 150 bucks per seat depending on the show

but its worth it.

and we don't have any other hobbies

You have a lot more options up there. My cousin got 2 tickets to the Eagles for $35 for both. Mrs Purple and I paid significantly more

yes, Seatgeek all day long!

Y'all got nothing on me. I sat in the 5th row to see Mavis Staples live in the 'Burg at E.C. Glass.

Hoping to get to see Jimmy Buffett again this year; his Cinci show is on the Monday we get back from the beach, so it's uncertain whether we'll get there or not. He IS playing Greenbrier July 5, so we'll have to see.

Thinking about going to see Steve Taylor play up in Columbus too.

Steve a Taylor was my 2nd favorite CCM artist growing up. Wish he came around here

Is this the Steve Taylor stuff from his Kickstarter campaign this past year? I am curious how that stuff turned out.

With his band 'The Perfect Foil'

Steve always comes up with the most clever concepts. HaHa

He's a genius that way.

man i just didn't dig volbeat the one show we went to AND their albums are just meh.

i find that with Palladia HD i don't have to go to shows anymore. i can just enjoy them from the comfort of my own home. Love that channel.

my buddies band is touring. Three Years Hollow. got signed to a label. cookie cutter stuff but its not too shabby.

my last concert was a year ago when i went to a bassnectar show. I'm too old for that to ever happen again

My concert-going experience has been reduced to watching ACL on PBS.

too much unwatchable on ACL but i at least look each week. watch NIN the other day.

palladia a weekend or so ago showed coachella live all weekend. there is some really crappy music getting pub right now. probably always been that way tho.
