Why I don't go to concerts any more

Two hours in the car so far to a Roger waters concert. I'm
Not drunk anymore but already in a hangover!

I like my system and tapes better

Two hours and not there yet kinda hurts, but I saw Roger Waters do "The Wall" earlier this fall and it was worth it.  Fantastic show...

Intermission

This is good!

The wall complete! And bacardy flowing. Someday I have to take my kids to something like this!

That reminds me of the time I passed clean out while listening to "Wish You Were Here" at full tilt. It was a hot summer day and I'd spent way too much time in the local bar. I came home to my converted attic room and opened some windows and put in that cassette tape (forgetting that the machine was on repeat). I woke up with a Sheriff looking over me. A neighbor on the next street over had called the cops after about the third time through side A!

Enjoy the rest of the concert buddy!

In the past 20 yrs I've seen must of the big guys

It is the $100+ tickets that gets me.  Concerts in Atlanta are all during the week.  With the millions who live there they can fill any venue even on weeknights.  

But here in Knoxville I got to see Jerry Douglas, the best Dobro player in the world, second row for $40 a ticket.  Small venue too, an old theater the Bijou.  

The Eagles didn't cost but $80 a ticket but there was a traffic jam going and leaving.  The Thompson Bowling Arena (UT Basket Ball venue) was packed.

Someday I have to take my kids to something like this!

Took my 14 year old son to Roger Waters.  We've also seen AC-DC and Rush together.  Great way to do a little father-son 'bonding'!  He's the only teenager I know who can identify most classic rock songs within a couple of seconds of the start.  Makes me proud!

Hope you enjoyed the rest of the show.
