I'd love to see U2 (ooh wow big suprise there) but I know that $40 bucks wouldn't even buy half a seat in the nose bleed section.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691559486171687852.post-35210713241312497732009-06-05T07:56:35.280-06:002009-06-05T07:56:35.280-06:00U2 tickets cost more than $40, unfortunately.

I've been to some good concerts (such as the B-52s, America, Presidents of the United States of America, David Byrne, the Wallflowers, and Paige and Plant) but I'd almost always rather go to a musical. Concerts are too long, too expensive, too loud, and I generally don't find that I identify with the other attendees.<br /><br />Wow - I think I'm getting old.Barthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02891001107688768478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691559486171687852.post-71643036401834313932009-06-05T00:28:31.499-06:002009-06-05T00:28:31.499-06:00Back in the day...back when I still had at least ...Back in the day...back when I still had at least some dim vestige of liking for Bryan Adams I maybe would have gone...however my liking for Bryan Adam's music died many years ago now thanks to a co-worker named Shingo (quite the fan he was) who mercilessly played his Bryan Adams CD continuously at work. All day. Every day. ALL THE TIME. <br /><br />I now cannot stand Bryan Adams. I loathe his music. Hearing Bryan Adam's music evokes tortured memories of work and fruitless pleading thoughts of "when will it end..? Will it EVER end?!?"<br /><br />I know it's not a "concert" concert as in a music concert but Chris and I went to see "The Laughing Samoans" last year. They were HILARIOUS. Worth every penny. I would also go see "Flight of the Conchords" and DEFINITELY Billy Bailey. Sherry - you need to look up Bill Bailey on youtube - in particular his skit regarding U2 in concert - I burst out laughing when I read your comment thinking of this very skit!Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553957107872437174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691559486171687852.post-78631763982823916952009-06-04T20:02:35.110-06:002009-06-04T20:02:35.110-06:00Definitely Coldplay.

It made me wonder why I didn't go to concerts more often and then I remembered the four hour drive it takes to get to the concert.Fionnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15076224269846606651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691559486171687852.post-69265321938779956742009-06-04T09:39:16.290-06:002009-06-04T09:39:16.290-06:00I would go see Barenaked Ladies in concert anytime...I would go see Barenaked Ladies in concert anytime. They are so much fun. I saw the Grateful Dead before Jerry died. I thought it would be AWFUL but it was really good. And I didn't feel my usually overwhelming desire to strangle people that I get when surrounded by hippies. <br /><br />I used to go see concerts a lot, and now I just can't pony up the money unless it is going to be awesome.La Yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15044092297673361855noreply@blogger.com
