RAVE: AEROSMITH TICKETS

[Radbird]

We saw CS&N at Red Rocks last year and were pleasantly surprised. Only Stills voice has degraded but he can still play some pretty mean guitar.

Labor day weekend - stop down when you are passing through.

Some of these old bands put on a great show. We saw Paul McCartney a few years ago and I was shocked.

We went to see tom petty last month in Evansville. Fantastic show!

Agreed. And some are terrible. I saw CSN at Riverport 10+ years ago and I was bored silly. Would love to see Neil Young, can imagine that Tom Petty puts on a top notch show.


slightly unrelated, heard this Paul McCartney song from 1980 on the radio the other morning

We saw Robert Plant at Ravinia last year and he was god awful. I never liked him anyway but my wife wanted to go. He decided he wanted to reinvent himself, even stuff I recognized I couldn't recognize because he changed it to a folk style. Everything was a folk song, even that Cadillac commercial song.

News to old musicians: We want to hear the same damn thing that made you famous. Nobody cares about your artistic abilities, it's all about taking a trip down memory lane.

This is where I disagree. At least in the cases of musicians like Robert Plant. He's still musically alive. That stuff he's playing now is very Robert Plant.

Sure, there are plenty of bands/musicians that have nothing to offer beyond their hits. RP isn't one.

Robert Plant is TERRIBLE. It's awful.

edit - and I say that as a person who when we went to the concert had no idea who he was. Never heard of him. My wife told me during the concert he did stuff like the Cadillac commercial song. But I had no preconceived notions, and when I heard him just wanted to go home for no other reason that it was awful music.

You've never heard Led Zeppelin? I know they aren't French and all but still.

Ok so this is news to me. And until this very moment I thought Led Zeppelin was the name of a person, not a group. Like Ozzy Osborne. I have learned something.

I saw Aerosmith in 1993. It was the worst concert I have ever witnessed. They just went through the motions with no energy or emotion.

Have fun.

I saw them in 1994. From what I recall I thought it was a decent concert, but my memory sucks.
