How often do you get a chance to see live music

Last Thursday, I went to hear a piano recital by Murray Perahia; Saturday I heard the Colorado Symphony and Sunday I heard a vocal recital by Thomas Hampson. That's a little more than usual, but all three were terrific and I wouldn't have wanted to miss any of them. I try to catch the symphony 3-4 times per month. I'm a member of the local folk association and hear great musicians there at least monthly. I used to be a great fan of rock and jazz, but mostly those venues are WAY too loud, and I rarely bother with live shows in those genres.

Well, as long as your asking..
This summer Pablo Cruise & the Beach Boyes were playing locally so my wife & I went to see them. Then the next night The Guess Who & Foreigner were playing at the same outside venue so we went to them also. We're both 53 and it was an enjoyable two nights out. Sure, all four bands barely have any original memebrs and the sound was questionable, but we got out and it was entertaining. And yes there sere drunks, stoners, loud people, obnoxious people, etc. But what the heck, if I wanted peace and quiet I coulda' gone to church. It's all what you make of it and we made the best of "hittin-the-town". Kind of blew our 22 year old daughter away that we can still rock n' roll with the best of them.

springsteen (twice), and u2 (once) in the past month. i also saw willie nile and joe grushecky at the stone pony in asbury park (no, bruce didn't show), and see numerous smaller shows (glenn tillbrook, steve forbert, graham parker, the roches, jackson brown, etc.), in and around nj. i couldn't agree more with elizabeth- at most amplified venues it is much much too LOUD, and i have to wear ear protection to spare my hearing, but i still enjoy seeing (and hearing?) live music. it's easier than ever to see many of my faves from the late 70s (ok, u2- 80s) who are still playing vital music. it's also true that the audiences are looking kinda old!

I used to attend to live concerts, now im planning to go next month to a couple of them. Rock concerts.

When In London (UK, not Canada) lots,lots and more lots, here in Colorado, sadly hardly ever.Colorado is not exactly the nerve center of the music industry is it? When planes go from the East to the West coast they probably empty their latrine
over this mid west part of the US, lol.
