Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I went to a Jimmy Buffet concert 2 years ago-- it was on my sister's bucket list. I knew just a few songs. Did the tailgate thing--brought a small pitcher of frozen Margarita's in a cooler on a 4 hour drive. Endured downpours under a pop-up cover and in line to get in to the amphitheater on a hot day, and watched many people get drunk and sick...no thanks. I ended that day feeling pretty gross.
In the 70s I saw Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer, and Chicago. I was 15-30 years old. No alcohol and minimal illicit substances observed and participated in mind of that. Many jazz concerts--Louis Belson, Buddy Rich, Don Ellis, and others.
In recent years I saw Trans Siberian Orchestra and Blue Man Group, which is not just one group but a corporate thing. OK I guess.
I'll stick to theater and small venue singer-songwriter performances from now on. We have made donations to our local theater companies and are season ticket holders. We have seen a couple of shows on Broadway. That beats the overly loud concerts every day, in my book.
