The Concert Thread

infinite monkey · 10-08-2012, 09:49 AM

I haven't been to a concert in years. I didn't even go to see Fagan and McDonald and Scaggs, and that would have been awesome.

I used to go to big venue concerts a lot...later on in life I spent a lot of time in Dayton's Oregon District with my musician ex...and saw a lot of great shows, jazz mostly, some blues.

I'm going to try to make a list of everyone I've seen (except of course, local bands.) I think it will be interesting. I'll post it later when I've thought about it.

Last concert I attended was Queensrÿche, the "Empire Tour". Suicidal Tendencies opened.

This was about 1990-91.

I paid $21 each for 2 tickets. Thought the price was outrageous.

What pisses me completely off is that bands mostly give Edinburgh a miss.
It's Aberdeen Glasgow then usually Newcastle of Manchester, time after time i see bands on tour dates thinking I'd like to see them but no joy.
The big theatres in Edinburgh hold on average 1800 to 2000 capacity and the smaller venues hold between 500 to 1000 so bigger bands dont come here because you can't get into the bigger venues they are usually booked out with shit musical productions, Billy Connolly complained a few years ago about Edinburgh not being able to book bigger venues for fucking andrew Lloyd Webber shows.

I've seen them twice! I had to wait 21 years for the first one, which was "Extended Suites", selections from Rage for Order, American Soldier, and something else non-Mindcrime. Every previous attempt I'd made since 1988 was foiled by lack of one of three things: money, transportation, or free time. I'd have $$ and be off work but unable to find anyone going, or I'd have friends going and either be broke or have to work. In 2007 I tried for like 4 days to win tickets and failed; closest I got was caller 7 of 10. The second time was their 30th anniversary tour--also their last; as I recall the singer flipped out during the South American leg of the tour and pulled a knife on the rest of the band. They squabbled about the name for a few years, but nobody seems to be doing much with it now. Still, the 30th anniversary show was AWESOME. They could have added ONE song to the show to make me like it more than I did. ONE.

And I have LOTS of pictures of both shows.
