Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Tom Waits live is so amazing - the songs are very different from the CDs. Also, the musicians he tours with tend to be very good. If you ever get a chace to see Mr. Waits live, kill everyone who stands in your way of tickets.

Because it really can never be said enough (saw his last two tours).

So Bob Dylan? Charges $45 a seat to see him.

I understand that's not out of this world, and I've paid that much before, but it feels like a lot.

On the other hand, he's gonna quit touring SOMEDAY, and I should see him before he retires/dies/charges even more.

Opinions on this first-world problem?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

t feels sheepish for paying $75 a seat to see The Divine Ms M

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I saw dylan a year or two ago - he was amazing. though i've heard that in recent years his concerts tend to be of the suck.

Aimee, I paid an unconscionable amount of money to a scalper to see U2, and $75 for Bette Midler doesn't sound unreasonable.

It's not so much paying $45 for a concert as it is paying $45 (plus the service fee, so really at least $50) for someone I'm a relatively casual fan of, who seems to be an erratic live performer from what I've heard.

On the other hand ... legend. Who might die/retire at any point, and I would be sad if I *never* saw him perform.

Maybe I should just rent "Don't Look Back."

Ah yes, then that I get. But I tend to only go to concerts when I really really really love the performer.

And I have seen Bette before and she is astounding live. Like, I have never been so entertained than I have been at one of her concerts.

I paid $35 to see Dylan AND stood in line for a good 6 hours for the privilege. It was a very small and acoustically fantastic venue. And all I really got of out it was that I get to tell people that I saw Dylan. I love love love the man - but it just wasn't that great or memorable at all ( OK - I do remember that "Tangled Up in Blue" was just as great as I hoped it would be and I remember seeing one my professors smoking a j in the row in front of me.). And that was 8 or 9 years ago.

My Bowie!Freak friend offered me one of her cache of 3rd row center seats for Bowie here at a great venue. But $75? Nope. Notta gonna do it.

See, I do love Dylan. But I love him in a "have five CDs, most from the '60's" way, not an "own every CD and bootleg I can possibly get" one. I'm worried about the "songs I don't know" factor.

But, I think I have talked myself into buying the tickets anyhow. i'll see how I feel after lunch.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

but [Howard Jones] played in a small club here in Salt Lake (the Zephyr)

t raising a glass to the ghost of the dear old dump Every time I drive past that corner, I look up to see who's playing.

"Dance With My Father" is making me cry.
