That's the reason I listed "Willie Nelson's 4th of July Picnic"...

Forgot these on my list:

Jethro Tull
The Young Dubliners
Blue Man Group
Venus Hum
Foghat
Georgia Satellites

WhatFurrer

Oh yeah...
Eagles (last year) Much better in concert than on the albums. Or maybe it was sitting through 3 hours of it that finally made me like them sort of.

As for shows, not concerts (since Spiff opened that up) in Vegas last year, I saw
Blue Man Group-great show. Hard to describe.
Mystere (fantastic show)
O (another fantastic show, but Mystere was better)
Zumanity (good show, but it needs more work to get anywhere near the level of the other three)

i am going to see 'champion on ice' in a month.. michelle kwan, nancy kerrigan, elvis perastrokya.. my wife got the tickets...i cant wait!!

Are you serious, BigJohn, or is sarcasm hard to read?

Come on, dude. While you are a sizeable gentleman, I would caution you about tempering that excitement arnoud your friends -especially in texas. I hear they don't take too kindly to that kidn of talk down there....

well, it was sarcastic, sort of..

i wasnt too excited about it when my wife said she had bought the tickets, not to mention they were $40 bucks a seat. but, i have started thinking it might be pretty cool.. i always marvel at the things they can do on ice skates when watching on TV, well now i can see it for myself, live.

all my friends already call me a pinko-commi liberal fruitcake.. they are all republicans, and i am not a demo, but certainly not a republican. i guess cause i like art, photography, playing guitar, writing songs, and other forms of self expression; it wierds them out.. but oh well, we still play poker and drink beer together, so its all good.

no hijack, back to the concerts!!!

Sorry - BigJohn. I, too, was mostly kidding.

I've never been to an ice show - but you're probably right. It would be amazing to see people doing really unbelievable (death defying?) maneuvers on ice with your own eyes. I'm sure that the experience is more than I would expect.

Back on topic - sorry.

pickard, by looking at your list, i would say we have about the same taste in music.

no "sorry" needed. its just too easy to get the reputation of a 'hijacker' around here. i dont want to be a part of your dastredly deeds..

HEY everyone, capt pickard wants to know everyones favorite color??? (HA, they will never know it was me)

bigjohn

We'll give you back your man card if you accept the following mission:

If one of the skaters should fall, you are to stand up and yell, "Oh! That had to hurt!"

Hell I am a homosexual, and even I think figure skating is "gay".

LOL!!!
