CONCERTS! What have you seen? What WILL you be seeing? I haven't had a huge concert year so far... but here's what I got:
Ani Di Franco Alice Smith Ministry The Vines The Duke Spirit and here's what's coming up... Bryan Adams (free tix) The Raconteurs Beck Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Cheap Trick (tribute to the Beatles) NIN  I get tix!
Wish list: Radiohead The Cure ...and a smattering of classical by the LA Phil at the Hollywood Bowl over the summer. WHO HAVE YOU SEEN / ARE YOU GONNA SEE? *** And I am SO jealous of those of you who have Lolla tix

Hmm, so far this year:
Europe Bernard Fowler's Bad Dog Alicia Keys Chuck Berry and Ben Waters/Chris Jagger Serj Tankian Kylie Minogue planning to see Europe + Queensryche + Alter Bridge Prince Kiss Cavalera Conspiracy The Bangles Billy Idol Metallica Twisted Sister Madonna Janet later this year! And somehow I hope to squeeze in Queen + Paul Rodgers... but I'm afraid that will collide (and have to be sacrified) with Janet in New York! [Edited 5/16/08 16:36pm] | |

tina turner is coming to mpls this october!
i really wanna go, but the last time i looked, the best tix available were crap. and that was for the pricey seats. 
so, no tickets yet. i'll probably end up prowling craig's list, ebay and the rest of the moneygrubbing savages out there. | |

The only shows I've seen this year was
Erykah Badu The Roots and that was last Friday. Today, my homegirl just got us tickets to see the one and only: Tina Turner 
We're going to see her at the Nassau Coliseum in December and I am so excited!  I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

I haven't been to any shows this year because of my health, but I HAD great tix to JILL SCOTT in March and had to sell them because I had just gotten home from the hospital.
I'm going to see STEVIE WONDER in Atlantic City in June.
I haven't lined anything else up yet, but I will. "Love Hurts. Your lies, they cut me. Now your words don't mean a thing. I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..." -Cher, "Woman's World" | |

I think the only show I'll be seeing this year is Alicia Keys. I wanted to see Ms. Badu, but she's coming on a night that I work.  Studiotraffic-One of the fastest ways to get payed on the net! | |

I just saw The Raconteurs last night - anyone who has a ticket to one of these shows is SO lucky - it was fantastic! So far, the best concert I've seen this year. Jack White is an AMAZING performer and musician and the combination of he, Brian Benson, Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler is nothing less than dynamic. They are a no-nonsense act who command your full attention with nothing but the music as they plow into their set list song by song - one after another - all great selections from their two CDs. Rock - blues - ballads.
***** I HIGHLY recommend.  VOTE....EARLY | |
