Concert attendance


I realize for many people the concert season is just getting started, but this season seems a little different. The economy seems tighter and people are a little concerned about financial circumstances.
I have been to only one concert this year, but I do have tickets for a concert in August. I hope to go to more shows this year, but I don't have any plans right now.
Are you going to be attending as many concerts this year as you have in the past?

my wife and i are attending the concerts at he2003 this weekend. in three weeks, we are going to jacksonville, oregon for 2 nights of concerts: first is the robert cray band and guest, the next night is yellow jackets and acoustic alchemy. we already saw trans siberian orchestra last christmas (best concert for clean sound and dynamite music). in portland during the summer, we have concerts (festivals) going on each weekend. some of the past performers have been robert cray, curtis selgado, loverboy, average white band, tower of power, john scofield, etc... also, each wednesday, my company (along with other companies) put on a concert in the park each wednesday at noon (blues, jazz, dance, acoustic, etc...) some of the best bands in the portland area. we also have tickets to see the dave matthews band in august. steely dan is coming soon, and more. if you are near the town of jacksonville, oregon in the summer, look up this url ( http://www.brittfest.org/schedule.aspx ) to see all the britt festival concerts going on in the area.
nothing beats going to live concerts!!!
Squiddy, there are still concerts/festivals like that for that money. i just went to 2 concerts last weekend: 1 was Robert Cray and guest, the next night we saw Acoustic Alchemy and the yellowjackets. both concerts were very good, excellent sound, and setting. each concert was $35 for reserved seating. we just had 4 days of the waterfront blues festival (in portland) and it cost $5 and 2 cans of food to see 10 different artists each day. in 2 weeks, we have another festival for 3 days with the doobie brothers, america, and curtis salgado for $10 admission each day.
