I saw Elvis...

The eighties weren't twenty years ago no matter how we feel.

Yeah I guess what's an extra 10 years between internet friends in the big scheme of things.

I hear ya brother but reasonable is relative...

That’s fair.  I’ll clarify that the only ticket that was triple figures was Stick Figure/Stephen Marley/Hip Abduction.  And they were pretty good seats.

Hey American friends, if you're up for a truly unique experience, I recommend checking out Mohsen Namjoo in concert. I think his upcoming shows are in LA, Ottawa, and Chicago. You can get a taste of one of his live performances here:

It's been quite awhile since I went to a big name concert... apparently one needs to take out a loan EVEN TO GET YOUR TUSHIE INTO THE "cheap seats."

Recently, I went w/ my two younger brothers and sister-in-law to see The Machine @ the Newton Theater in NJ (American Pink Floyd Tribute band.) last month. Pretty awesome... though we were all in agreement that they could've  lower the bass mixing a bit. (I swear, some of the crowd, w/ sparse hair on top of their heads had their hair strands waving up & down w/ the beat !)

 

But, of course, nothing beats the original... as I saw Pink Floyd at the LI Coliseum for The Wall Tour.

THAT was REALLY Awesome!

But I have to admit... my first BIG concert was on the Bicentennial July 4th 1976!

I was stationed at NAS Millington for training (USMC, Airwing)... and a bunch of my Marine buds went over to Memphis State football stadium to see an all day into the evening concert that started w/ The Outlaws (Green Grass & High Tides... remember that jam?), Blue Oyster Cult (THEY were  awesome!) Lynyrd Skynyrd w/ the original members prior to the crash... OH yeah!

And finishing it ALL off was ZZ Top as the headliner act.

Pretty much 2+/ 3+ hour sets w/ stage changing  in between.

We walked out before midnite when it was all done... got our monies worth!

Ahhhh...  that's not too shabby, eh?
