Valentine's Day Evening (without my wife)

[Seamajor]

The Filmore Aud was $3. With the Dead, Lee Michael’s and the New Riders . So cool. We’d hit Lee Loue, and Edsel For Fung, our favorite waiter, for some fried rice

 

[Frood]

25-30 years ago, music festival tickets were about 60-70 bucks and you could see any band you wanted... or flip them the behind middle fingers as you were walking out of their big tent start because they were suing Napster yet admitted to eating ham on hand while buying bootleg cassette tapes.

I still remember paying 5 bucks to see the Canadian prairie band called Tamarack or Tamorac in 1993. They were easily worth a 50 buck price... dulcet voices and strings.

 

[Dove]

Ha! I got all you young fuckers beat. Back in my day concert tickets to big names were like 10 bucks. I remember being pissed because a "Monsters of Rock" all day fest with AC/DC, Nazareth, Cheap Trick and Heart cost $15.95.

Yeah I remember my friends dad talking about how expensive the 30 dollar Metallica tickets were lol

His parents were old hippies. I went to see Bob Dylan with them and went to a Further Festival with them and saw all the hippie bands.

Im still friends with their son so I have them on socail media and they have a bad case of TDS.

I saw Misfits with Danzig for like 12 bucks in Pontiac. That was a crazy night and i met Danzig.

That sounds cool, SeaSlope. Of course, you're an ancient fuck, so you remember them old hippie days.

You ate the brown acid, didn't you?

I can't believe how freaking expensive concert tickets are nowadays. Last summer my daughter was going to surprise me with AC/DC tickets for the show they played at Soldier Field, but they were going for like $800 fucking dollars. That's absolutely ridiculous and them old fucks can't play like they used to. I've seen the videos of their recent shows and I wouldn't pay that kind of money to see old men play old songs.

Yep. Both of my girls got tickets for NIN last summer at Little Ceasers Arena and they spent over 1k....they didnt even get expensive seats!

They saved for that concert for a LONG time and planned it all out. They really wanted me to join them as im the reason they love NIN but as much as I wanted to, those tickets were nuts.

I DO regret not joining them and I swore an oath next one I will lol.

My 20 year old is ALWAYS going to some sort of show or concert. She goes to all these little emo bands like "Pierce the Vale" and shit I've even heard of hahaha. She reminds me of me a lot. Shes my little goth and brags how her mom was an OG 90s goth kid lol.

 

[MrNiceGuy]

Meh, they’re like a punk back street bois

I think the thing that made The Offspring stand out is the singer's voice because you know it's him as soon as you hear him. If not for that, maybe 'Keep Em Separated' would of been their only hit.

 

[MrNiceGuy]

My husbands very unromantic, we're going up the pub for a few and we'll give cards

My wife & I only give cards once in a surprise while just to gush on each other. For Xmas, Valentines & birthdays we just treat each other to a nice meal. There's nothing more in any card we can give each other than everything we've given each other already.

 

[MrNiceGuy]

Was it the Aussie group doing the Tina Turner tribute? I know a guy who knows them personally.

Did you say you personally know a guy who does a Tina Turner tribute?

By chance, is his name.... Tim ?

 

[MrNiceGuy]

"Only 90.40 each" Jeezus....I remember in the 90s they were like 35 bucks lol.

I saw NIN/Bowie for 65 bucks. Metallica for 30. Type O Neg for 15 haha.

I dont think i ever paid more than 100 for concert tickets. My daughter just went to Opeth for free the other night.

Ticket Master / Live Nation are shit.

That being said... back in the day, artists lost money touring but toured to make money on album sales & merch.

Nowadays artists need to make money on tours & merch because no one buys albums anymore.

I saw Metallica in '92 for like $36 to $43. They are probably $100 or over now.

But still...the rising costs of concerts are less over decades vs pre covid & post covid house prices. That's the real bullshit.

And why your kids may still be living with you.

The only song I wouldn’t change the station for by them is this one

 

[Lotte Skoring]

Tim Leary called. He said never trust anyone under 65.

I don't trust anybody on the left. They're mentally retarded and have extremely poor morals.

 

[Joe]

At least you're paying hundreds to see a 60 year old sing.

My wife wants us to pay hundreds to see Frankie Valli.

He's 91. NINETY FUCKING ONE. LET THAT SINK IN....

Dude probably cannot even rasp let alone sing. Fuck that.

I have scruples. Yaknow?!?

Let's just say my bucket list does not in any way include paying to see someone currently kicking the bucket.

They have way better songs than that.....

Check this song out. It is something all of Murdock's partners have experienced....

Is he that old weirdo psychologist who fried his brain on LSD?

Of course you'd evoke him.

That’s a matter of taste, I happen to think PFFAWG is all they have to offer

For teenagers of the 90s lol. I wasnt big on Offspring. They were constantly on the radio. And that song "Low" was always on and it wasnt until like 2 years ago i found out it wasn't Tom Petty lol.



I was floored finding out that this wasnt Tom Petty lol.

This fucking song was constantly on the radio in the 90s.

 

[Dove]

This was always on the radio as well. If you lived through the 90s, you have this song memorized whether you liked it or not

You have definately heard them. You probably just didnt know it was Offspring.

Offspring was background noise to me. When they were big, I was obsessed with Peter Steel lol.

A number of people here have been talking about "past concerts"....so....


I saw Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers with Bob Dylan at Rich Stadium in Buffalo in 1986. The Grateful Dead were the opening act.

Another Tom Petty connection...I saw Paul McCartney in Detroit the day Tom Petty died.

A lot of people have never heard of different bands until I drop their name....

I can make or break bands.
