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?

Ticket prices are tooo expensive these days to go to all the shows I would like to see. It’s really sad! What happened to 25$ tickets?

Just Saw James Brown for FREE in NYC last week! Check out my in-depth review.

Have tickets to see Neil Young and Crazy Horse @ MSG. I hope to score Steely Dan Tickets for Roseland in NYC. Derrick Trucks Band is playing for free at Prospect for free this summer (among other free shows there throughout this summer)

I have created another forum ..in which I listed all the shows I can ‘remember’ having seen! Post your list there!!!

I'm always going to shows, at least one or two a month, and it would be much more if there were more bands I liked anymore. Geez Louise, Sean, I don't believe in superstition, but that's a hell of a show not to have attended when you had tix! I didn't realize Arthur was gigging this way now - I hope I can catch one...

Sean...

Thanks for your response. My wife and I see PG on his "Us" tour (mid 90's --- where does the time go?). We were floored at the production. An amazing experience. We're really looking forward to this show; doubly now since your post!

Cheers.

I go to mostly blues shows, which tend to be small, semi-local and cheap. There are several good "festival" type shows, with 4 or 5 good acts, $25 for the day admission, beer, stogies, and BBQ not included-- so far this calendar year probably 24+ shows. Have a big 4th weekend blues festival here in Portland, have a couple other festivals later in the summer to go to, and many odd weekday night shows to see.

Portland is a pretty good town to be a blues fan in.

Last night I went to the Yardbirds concert in Annapolis,MD.
Excellent concert and fun for all who attended. The Yardbirds were truly a great club band. They played great tunes and they were enjoying themselves tremendously and were very gracious aferwards with autographs, questions, etc. If you are interested, go to their website:www.theyardbirds.com for their concert dates. The
tickets were only $25.00 and worth every penny.
