Location: Chicago | Water Song! I miss the days when I could go down to the local college and see Jorma and Jack with the Jerry G. Band for five buck. THAT was inspiring! |

Location: Flahdaw | Don't get me started.... I still have the torn tickets for concerts from years past at unbeleivable prices.
Beach Boys- $6
James Taylor-$8
Jesse Colin Young-$5
Charlie Daniels- $5
Gregg Allman- $6.50
Etc....
Compare that to Hannah Montana @ $120.00 |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Wow darkbarguitar... how old are you?
I paid I think $15 to $30 for Allman Bros, Boston, Seals and Crofts, Chicago, Harry Chapin, Boston, ELO, etc.. in the mid 70's
$120 for Hannah Montana doesn't surprise me, I mean really... I can't blame her.. Sell out a stadium at $50 a seat or $150 a seat.. no brainier. |

Beach Boys 1977
....actually the rest were 1977, either at the Univ. of Florida or Great southern Music Hall in Gainesville, Fl. Guess we were lucky, you sucker. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | The Jonas brothers are going to graciously add us to their tour at $160 to $530 per ticket. I bet we're one of the cheapest venues, too. |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Do you play guitar? "Yes, a little, but I suck at it..."
That way if I sound okay, they appreciate it.
And if I suck, I warned them! 
Actually, it looks more like this... a bit slower 
__________
Concerts? The Band, Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead... $10 (free for me)
Alice Cooper... $4.50, $5.50, $6.50
ZZ Topp... Free
Jefferson Airplane... Free
Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie, bunch o' locals... Free
Boston... $3 (first album release party, The Loft)
The Hooters... Free w/ Free Beer (but they played "And We Danced" 3 times to get a good recording)
Nobody is worth the money they are charging...
But I am pissed that I missed CSNY for $50 in Vancouver WA! |
