I saw the Doobie Bros open for Chicago this past summer for $79 per ticket. Absolutely one of the BEST concerts I ever went to. The sound was fantastic and both bands did an 8 song encore that was unbelievable.

btw One of the first things I want to do when I get my speakers is to watch the Eagles Farewell Tour. I saw a bunch of it and the sound was great! Never a big Eagles fan but this is one great show!

That is an excellent disc for the system, very good sound.

Typically any DVD with Eric Clapton has great audio also, even some of the older stuff.

I believe the first concert I went to was Lyle Lovett with Shawn Colvin opening.

The rich sports star thing has been going on since Roman gladiators. Its probably not going to change any time soon.

I guess the only upside to high ticket prices for bands is that this is where the artists make the lions share of their money.

Don't know how we got to first concerts (you guys can really run with it) My first concert was YES Tales From Topographic Oceans. I think I was 15 or 16 and I couldn't believe that they were smoking pot in the Nassau Colliseum right in their seats!

I saw Kiss in London as well. The acoustics were crap, but that didn't matter as the music was the least significant part of the show. ;\)

Currently listening to Fleet Foxes...who BTW, are on SNL tonight. If you like harmonies in a rock group...these guys are good. This is a young band, but there are elements of many older groups in their style. A very interesting CD.

I look forward to seeing them perform. Amazon.com is always recommending them, and I hear good things about them, but I didn't have a lot of patience for the samples, so hopefully seeing them perform keeps my attention more.

Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton on Guitar, Mic Jager on harmonica and the dude who played piono for the stones doing some blues jamming. Very cool.

I wonder how/where Randy Bachman gets a hold of some of these tapes.
