Popular Post WarriorPrincess Posted May 15, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2015 So Lisa and I went to see Spandau Ballet in concert on Wednesday night ....stop laughing Rob Anyway they were great and still the same from the first time we went back in the 80's. Back in my younger days, not so long ago, I loved going to concerts just the atmosphere amazed me . What made me laugh at the concert was before it started all these guys were there with their partners and looked like they just didn't want to be there As the concert started and the old favourites were sung, slowly one by one the guys started to clap at first to the song which lead to standing up and then when the song "Gold" was sung they were dancing in the aisle and belting out the song like they were on stage Overall it just made me realise how great it is to be at a concert enjoying your favourite performer or band and sing as loud as you want and don't have a care in the world for those couple of hours. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johndalton44 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 The recent Fleetwood Mac tours have been absolutely epic. I went in January and it blew my mind. They are rocking as hard as ever and play their top hits for 2hrs with a brilliant light and visual display to accompany the music. Can't remember myself enjoying any 2hrs more in a long while and it's a show I'll never forget. Growing up listening to classic rock from my dad's albums this was a dream come true.

Ken Gargett Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 spandau ballet - they have been ruined for all time for me by that episode of modern family. i would have been in giggles all night. well, to be honest, not that they needed any more ruining. but i'm glad you and the other three members of the audience enjoyed themselves. concerts? have i ever mentioned bruce? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quint Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I love going to concerts, I'm going to date myself here but have been to dozens starting mid 70's with Led Zepplin, Yes, Jethro Tull, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Heart, Doobie Brother, Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones to name a few as well as jazz artist like Dave Brubeck, Return To Forever etc. nothing like 10 15000 people partying together and going on the trip the band is trying to take you on. I still get the chills when the entire stadium is singing the lyrics to a song. Love outdoor music festivals also. Wife and I go to one every year up in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, it's called the White mountain boogie and blues festival. It's a 3 day event, with most people camping right at the festival, its like a mini Woodstock. Lots of tie dye, hola hoops, sun dresses, very cool. Great place to enjoy a few cigars too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypersomniac Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 The last concert I went to was Brad Paisley (at our state fair, there were a bunch of other concerts I attended as well). The concert before that was Muse. I love going to see performers live, it is a wonderful atmosphere and a great experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebrew Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 One look at my profile picture should answer that question for you. I have personally been to over 300 shows, though at least 1/3 were Grateful Dead shows. But with my current job, I really only catch a couple of shows a year now days. Dave (A.K.A.

MrGTO Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 ZZ Top is a show to see if you get a chance. I fell out in the isle because we were having such a good time at the concert. Two gentlemen much older than I was at the time scooped me up and applauded me efforts. I regained my composure and continued the partying until the end of a double encore! The Jack flowed all night that evening. Needless to say I slept in my car.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
