What concert are you going to see in 2005?

[macmar71]

I am curious to see what shows my fellow Ledgies are going to. I am not seeing the Stevie/Don concert this year due to the inflated ticket price but I am going to see Def Leppard in June and tickets go on sale shortly for Journey so those are my two shows so far for this year.

[Miss Vicky]

Definite: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers at the Sleep Train Ampitheater. Just waiting for the tix to go on sale. Have been a fan since I was eight years old but have only been to one of his concerts. :(

Possible: Mellencamp and Fogerty. I love John Fogerty but I don't think I could bring myself to buy a ticket with Mellencamp's name on it. :eek: I can't stand him. :sorry:

[Dreammms]

seeing stevie and don at pnc in new jersey
would like to see them at jones beach too

probably gonna see tori amos and tom petty

[dissention]

I already saw Garbage, and I'm going to see Tom Petty and Juliette and the Licks. That's about it, unless Blondie tours this summer and Franz Ferdinand tours to support their new album in late summer/fall. I'm not a Henley fan at all, he bugs the **** out of me, so I won't be seeing him with Stevie.

[StevieNicksEO17]

Just Stevie and Don

[Dark Angel]

Definite: Duran Duran
Possible: Tom Petty

[CreepingDeath]

After spending an obscene amount on four Stevie shows, I'm not sure if I'll see her with Henley. He's an ass. Period.

I might go to Tom Petty since he always puts on a great show, and Judas Priest w/ Queensryche.

I also got Pat Benetar tickets, but those were free. :thumbsup:

[WildInTheWind]

Tom Petty for sure. Stevie and Don if I can come up with enough money to get to and stay in Chicago. I'd like to see the Rolling Stones, but there ticket prices are too high.

[NaiveMelody23]

Well

Bill Corgan(yay)
Tori Amos
Pixies...if they tour a coupel more dates

Other than that....no clue

[golden braid]

Definite: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers at the Sleep Train Ampitheater. Just waiting for the tix to go on sale.
Tickets are already on sale.

I've already seen the Crue and Stevie and I've got a ticket to Tom's show at the Greek Theatre. I might go to Ozzfest too.

[Josh2003]

Rufus Wainwright/Ben Folds :D

[Moony]

Rufus Wainwright/Ben Folds :D
:eek: are they touring together?!!!! Igottagettickets!

Anyway, I'm going to see Green Day at SBC park on Sept. 28th...woohoo, first concert evah

[Mari]

definite: Brian Wilson in Amsterdam. Possible: (very likely) Beth Hart & AJ Croce in Groningen. Maybe a festival, I don't know.

[face of glass]

Seen Lou Reed already, but I guess I won't be attending any other big concerts this year. Would've wanted to see New Order, but I guess I'll have to be wiser with my money from now on. :shrug:

[hayley]

The only big shows I have planned this far in advance are Neil Diamond in August and Lollapalooza here, at Grant Park, this summer.

Forgot- also Oasis at UIC Pavilion next month.

[kak125]

I am going to see Velvet Revolver on Wednesday then Sarah Mclachlan next wednesday and then Dave Matthews and Stevie/Don. I also might go to Ozzfest too.

[Miss Vicky]

Tickets are already on sale.

I've already seen the Crue and Stevie and I've got a ticket to Tom's show at the Greek Theatre. I might go to Ozzfest too.

I just checked the tompetty.com site yesterday and no date was listed for the sale. The shows at the greek are already on sale, but I don't want to go to Berkley, I'd rather go to Marysville. Hmm... guess I'll check ticketmaster.com

[Miss Vicky]

Revision - I'm not going to see Petty. The only seats left are either really ****ty or way overpriced (some as high as $516!!! WTF happened to his respect for his fans?). Unless by some miracle I can get good seats at a not too outrageous price on Ebay. This is bull****.

<i>If you reach back in your memory
A little bell might ring
'Bout a time that once existed
When money wasn't king
If you stretch your imagination
I'll tell you all a tale
About a time when everything wasn't up for sale...</i>

[WelshWitchPMD]

I don't see any good shows coming to my area so I am not going to see anyone. I doubt that I will go to see Stevie with Don unless I pull up front row but even then I don't know.

[DrummerDeanna]

I'm considering seeing Sarah McLachlan this Sunday - but I'm not sure...I'm a real cheapskate these days..

I'd love to see Stevie but again - the cheap factor comes into play...

If I'm to splurge on one show this summer it's going to be MACCA!!!!!

[skcin]

I already saw Tesla. Going to see Petty & the rockin' bill of Firehouse, Quiet Riot, Ratt & Cinderella. :D

[cliffdweller]

If the White Stripes tour to support their new album I'll be there in a heartbeat.

I'd like to see Stevie if she comes to Texas.

I'm sure I'll see a bunch of bands coming through Austin this summer that I don't yet know about---it always happens that way.

[cliffdweller]

the rockin' bill of Firehouse, Quiet Riot, Ratt & Cinderella. :D

Sounds like a hairmetalfest extravaganza! Good times! :thumbsup:

[madformac]

Well so far for 2005..

Saw Velvet Revolver back in January in Manchester, UK. They were pretty good indeed..

Off to see Mark Knopfler for 2 nights at the Royal Albert Hall in London in a couple of weeks and then I'm going to see our local boys Oasis play at the City Of Manchester Stadium in June which should be (in the UK at least) THE concert of the year.. :]

:wavey:

p.s. * Just wanted to note this was my 1000th post.. :blob2: :] :blob2:

[cliffdweller]

I didn't know Oasis was still together.

[madformac]

I didn't know Oasis was still together.


yeah they are still together and from what I heard of the new songs today they are more together than they have been since about 1995..

Plus the addition of Zak Starkey on drums has kicked things up a notch.. :nod:

All the UK shows sold out in about 2 hours on the day of ticket release and they are planning to hit America and do it right this time around.. :thumbsup:

[all the same]

So far I'm seeing:

Willie Nelson (am waiting for tickets)
Lyle Lovett (general seating)
George Jones (front row)

Strange how it seems to be a country run these next few concerts. But more will pop up I'm sure. I go to a lot of shows.

[tommer]

i was just offered a free ticket for Faithless' concert next month, but i can't go, they are one of my all time favorites, and i only saw them live once, and even that was 6 years ago. :( but then again, it's not like someone's forcing me to spend the summer in the Hymalaias and miss out on all the summer concerts.

[dissention]

Oh, you reminded me. I'm seeing Loretta Lynn next month and maybe Lyle Lovett on Saturday.

Hopefully they're not as obnoxious as they used to be :rolleyes:. One can dream right? :laugh:

[hayley]

Hopefully they're not as obnoxious as they used to be :rolleyes:. One can dream right? :laugh:
They're still obnoxious! But the new album is really, really good.

I've been listening to Oasis all day today- Definitely Maybe, What's the Story, and Heathen Chemistry. All such good records. Too bad they're such dicks.

[all the same]

Oh, you reminded me. I'm seeing Loretta Lynn next month and maybe Lyle Lovett on Saturday.

Lucky duck! I would love to see Loretta Lynn! :thumbsup:

[dissention]

Lucky duck! I would love to see Loretta Lynn! :thumbsup:

My friend that works at the casino she's playing is getting me tix, I can't wait. I've never seen her before and I can't wait to hear the Van Lear Rose songs live. She kicks ass. :D

[estranged4life]

only know one sure for sure we'll see this summer:

Chris Cagle/Gary Allan-July 2-Ft.Sill Polo Grounds-Lawton , OK

I am hoping to see Dream Theater on their upcoming 2005 World Tour in support of the upcoming "Octavarium" album...I may even go see Dream Theater play on the Gigantour bill with Megadeth this summer (F**k Ozzfest!)

[chiliD]

Orbit Service, Saturday, May 21st at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood. Their 2nd to last night of their "Conquer the Left Coast Tour".

[Merf]

As of now:

Duran Duran- July 20th @ Verizon Wireless Ampitheater (where FM played last year)

and U2- December 12th @ the new Charlotte arena (downtown, not even finished yet.)

I have never seen U2 live before and obviously I am flipping out. I cannot WAIT!!!!

[catinthedark]

Stevie and Don June 18 in Detroit...

Oh, and Gordon Lightfoot this Thursday night!

That's it so far... unless Petty comes to Toronto... and Stevie does Vegas in October..

[NaiveMelody23]

Well, I think I will most def go see

[MoonChilde]

[xdreamsunwindx]

I just got back from seeing Camera and <a href=http://themainliners.com>The Mainliners</a>. Both bands were ****ing amazing; totally blew me away. GREAT gig. ****ing great. akjg;asfk;asa

Anyways, back to earth... I'm seeing Tom Petty in June, and U2 in October. Woot. ^_^

Last year they played a gaming casino, but I missed it.

Other than that, I'm waiting for Dame Edna to return to CA after her Broadway engagement.

Wanna go to Lollapalooza with me? We can skank to The Bravery!

[Lee]

I have never seen U2 live before and obviously I am flipping out. I cannot WAIT!!!!

I've never seen them either live, but I'm going to see them in October in Philly up in the nosebleed section :laugh: because I just have to see them. :nod:

I've already seen Maroon 5 last month. Next month it's Stevie & Don on opening night in Philly & Kenny Wayne Shepherd at the very end of the month.

I'm excited about every show I'm going to see. I'd also like to see Hall & Oates again for the umpteenth time. :laugh: Maybe if they come close, I will.

Lee :)

[cliffdweller]

I may even go see Dream Theater play on the Gigantour bill with Megadeth this summer (F**k Ozzfest!)

If Megadeth comes to Texas this summer[they skipped us of course on their last tour, worthless bastards :laugh::laugh:] I'd "be the first in line." :thumbsup:

[GateandGarden]

p.s. * Just wanted to note this was my 1000th post.. :blob2: :] :blob2:I didn't see this before but wanted to say congrats! :woohoo: :blob1:

And am I the only person here who goes years without going to any concerts? :o

Let's see...my last one was Cher in 2002 on her "Farewell" tour. :laugh:

But I will try to see Stevie if she comes to New Orleans this summer. Especially if it's minus Henley! :cool:

I've hardly been to any concerts, evah. They've mostly been Mac or Stevie. However, I've heard LOTS of live bands that play in bars.... :D :wavey: I just don't really have the money, and when i did, I didn't think of going to concerts. I've been Macobsessed for so long, that it didn't occur to me. Now, however, I'd like to go to more.

[madformac]

Same here. Mostly Mac and a few country artists. We didn't get too many performers in Southern IL.

We are fortunate in the UK that we have a lot of big artists and most top U.S. artists tour here too.. Plus the small size of the country means it's great for getting to gigs..

In July we have Queen with Paul Rodgers and REM playing Hyde Park in London on consecutive nights which will be cool.. :cool:

[Chilly Willy]

Coming up:

The Fools (Boston's best band for more than 25 years)
Al Stewart
Ronnie Earl

[madformac]

For sure I'm going to Live Aid II... :nod:

Scheduled for 2nd July in Hyde Park, London...

Nothing is official yet but the Prince's Trust gigs have been cancelled without explanation, the Stones and McCartney are rumoured to have agreed to play and Geldof has been seen at the BBC fuelling reports he's discussing broadcasting rights....

It really looks like it's going to happen. Bob G wants the situation in Africa brought to the world's attention once more.. :thumbsup:

[skcin]

OMG. My friend just bought me & our other friend (belated birthday gifts) tix to see Neil Diamond in August!

I love me some Diamond! I wasn't going to go since I'm pretty tapped out with the other concerts I'm going to, so it was a great surprise.

"...pack up the babies and grab the old ladies and everyone knows...." :thumbsup:

[sparky]

I am going to see this summer...

Joan Osborne
Judas Priest/Queensryche (so funny !)
Heart
Trisha Yearwood (if the date is confirmed)
Stones - if they announce an LA date


Doubtful, extremely, that I will see the Stevie/Don thing. No West coast dates yet, and if they do come to this area, I will not pay for it. I'd go with comps though - and show up late !

[SuzeQuze]

I wasn't sure if I was going to Stevie/Don but my Dad wants to go so we are going. :D I've never been to a concert with him before. Good times.

[JazmenFlowers]

Since I just raped my savings account to do Vegas, I'll have to go easy on the travel for a while. However, I hope to see Tori Amos soon if she comes anywhere near and I'm definitely going to see Destiny's Child in July at the FedEx Forum in Memphis.

[Imagine80]

I just saw U2 last Saturday in Philadelphia...which was absolutely AMAZING!!! I just got tickets for The Rolling Stones in October, and last but certainly not least, I'm going to 2 Paul McCartney concerts. Well, that about takes care of my entire bank account for the summer!

~Megan

[xdreamsunwindx]

New possibilities!!1one

The Pixies
Alanis Morrisette

Woot.

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

Don't think I'll be seeing any this year :(

Last week I took my daughter to see Girls Aloud. That's probably it for me! Will have to make to with FM tribute bands!

Still looking for McCartney tickets...................

I'm sure I'll see a bunch of bands coming through Austin this summer that I don't yet know about---it always happens that way.

Ted Nugent's playing at La Zona Rosa - I think it's this week??

ACL in September! :thumbsup:

[SuzeQuze]

Just got my Stevie/Don tickets for Mansfield and I'm going with my Dad. :nod:

[all the same]

Got tickets for Alison Krauss and Union Station a few weeks ago. Third row centre.

I don't know if I'll be able to swing any more Stevie shows this year but never say never! Has anyone heard anything about Red Rocks? I searched on Google and it said it was a Stevie/Henley show. Lame! But that might not be the case anymore since it is listed as July 20 or something like that. Their tour ends way before then, doesn't it?

[Livia]

I would love to see Carole King! :)

[cliffdweller]

ACL in September! :thumbsup:

I'm getting too old and crabby for these festivals! The heat, the mosquitos, the standing around for hours,... the heat my god the heat!!....:laugh:

Don's only doing the first 10 shows - I believe what keeps happening is that the tentative Henley/Nicks shows that were on the books after June 19 (the last Henley show) are now either being cancelled or rescheduled as Stevie solo dates - either exactly, or close to, the original dates since concert treks usually follow the same path (begin north/northeast, then south, southwest, west, northwest).

[chiliD]

The Beach Boys-6/10 at the Mountain Winery?

Kind of a misnomer...Mike Love is the only actual "Beach Boy" in the Beach Boys these days; ok, Bruce Johnston, too. I've heard from Beach Boy fans that there are some "tribute" bands that are actually BETTER than the unit that is touring AS the Beach Boys these days. In fact, their suggestion is to keep an eye out for Al Jardine's Family & Friends Band, and see them; they're supposedly far superior to "Mike Love's traveling travesty" (their words, not mine)

Just thought I'd pass that along, if you didn't already know that stuff.
