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?

Wdhsvbgod: I saw Peter on what was the very first show of this tour at the tale end of last year. My girlfriend is a big fan of his and we ended up with front row seats. The show was very good. According to a local radio station that polled their audience, the show that we were at was voted best concert of 2002 !!! While i don't know if i would go that far, it was a very good show and far more entertaining than i thought it would be. Have a good time !!! Sean

I saw the " Funk Brothers " at the Wiltern ( Los Angeles ) so glad I did. I bought the cheap tickets but at intermission moved up to the stage GREAT GREAT concert. Have tickets for Neil Young/Lucindia Williams & Bob Dylan this summer. If i had the cash & time I would fly to Boston to see Van Morrison/Salomon Burke

I just scored a single ticket for Steely Dan at Universal Amphitheater in the 6th row center. I shelled out some bucks for it, but this has the potential as the best show I have ever seen.

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.
