How Often Do You Listen To Live Music??

Hey All,

I don't get to live music shows often enough. The last show I attended was Live opening for Jane’s Addiction at Madison Square Garden last year. I went to see a co-worker who did an acoustic one man show down in the village. Before the Garden show I went to see Sting at the Paramount in 1996. I'm really looking forward to my anniversary on Friday, I got tickets for the Dave Mathews Band at the Garden. That should be a great show, I love Dave Mathews. I use many of his recordings as demos for new additions to my system. The best show I have ever witnessed was U2 at Constitution Hall in DC back in 1984. It was intimate, about 7000 people, and every once in a while, it seemed that Bona was singing right to me. I was 16th row orchestra and I’ve never had better seats for a show since. It was great......John

Live classical only about 25x per year now... for many years we used to average 50-60 concerts a year (all kinds of ensembles) when times were financially better!

Every single day.

i hate visiting huge concert halls and rather listen to the music in small area. i often go by 34th street station and listen to unamplified violinists, guitarists and vocals.
for the rock i also go to the small places since i mostly visit non-commercial rock conserts.
in general i listen to the live music pretty often. usually october and november are the most freequent months that i visit. overall is arround 30...40 times per year.
love to listen to Elliott Sharp, David Torn, John Zorn, Bill Laswel.

Prior to moving to Melbourne, Fl (a culturing deprive town) 2 years ago from Long Island, it was almost every day. My friends own a building and turned most of the ground floor as their rehearsal space with recording capabitities (26 x 48 x 12)and with 20 plus muscians we knew there was always some jamming. I still have lots of gear up there. There is also The Spot a graduate student bar at Stoney Brook University just down the road, where live bands and we performed, and there is also Wamboozy a LI music festival that my friend organized and ran. Then there is NYC with all the clubs, just look in The Village Voice for a band to see. There was always live music in my life from the Filmore East in 1970 and beyond. Prior to that my father and his father would play at family gatherings.
