Itzhak Perlman
James Galway



I'm such a nerd.

I used to work at a local amphitheater when I was younger, so I would see a variety of performers who came to town, including the Lolapalooza fest.

But the last concert I actually paid to see was a performance by N.W.A, Too Short, Sir Mix-A-Lot, J.J. Fad, and D.O.C. That was way back in 1989.

Time for me to bust out with the Wikipedia and do some research.

Perlman came to wyoming? I'm jealous. He'll be in NYC next year and tickets are going for over $450. I'm afraid I won't be there.

No problem
Ok thanks, I'll try again, they really have an interesting sound

Goodness, no. I live in Florida now. I have Miami on one end, Tampa and Orlando on the other. lol...last concert I saw in Wyoming was Brian Adams.
I bought the Perlman and Galway tickets as a package and got a great deal front and center. Neither concert was really great though.

i'll try to take some comfort in that

This is going to make me sound older than dirt, but ....

The last concert I went to was to see Rain at the Warner Theater in DC. Rain is a Beatles tribute band, with all members having a physical resemblance to the Fab Four (aided at times by wigs!), and the music was very, very good. From the moment they started playing, I had a big grin on my face.

I had the feeling, listening to them go from She Loves You to The Long and Winding Road, that I was listening to the Beatles themselves. We had a great time.

Warner Theater, a really nice theater - we've seen several shows there.

Rain - if you get a chance, they do a helluva good job with some very good music.

"Concert"? I can't remember. I rarely go to big venues anymore. Beck w/ The Flaming Lips at the Hammerstein Ballroom a few years ago. Seeing bands play at bars is a different story. Curtis Suburban at The Continental, about a month ago. I wouldn't exactly call that a "concert", though....

edit: just remembered that I saw Queens of the Stone Age in Hartford, I think it was last year. Awsome show.

Yeah, i like this band too

Hmmm - not sure....either REO, John Mellencamp or Nazareth...they were all toward the end of my concert going days (80's)...I believe a ticket cost $7.95

You're kidding! That's less than a dollar more than a movie ticket. Man...we are getting old.

I loathe you.

Haven't been to a concert in a while... The closing band for the "vieilles charrues" festival this summer was The Infadels. It was so good that I bought the CD. But the CD is crap. They're only good on stage.

Another noticeable band at this festival was a punk quintet from eastern europe (one polish, one or 2 russians, etc). They had animal masks. The singer had a monkey mask and most songs were about bananas. The chicken-masked one's only purpose was to create some movement in the pit. Great show, even though the music was the worst crap I ever heard.

They're great, aren't they?
