    Just bailed on buying tickets to see Greta Van Fleet because with fees, they are just shy of $50 each to see them at the Cleveland Agora.  I'm okay to pay that for a more established band and admit that CD102.5 "Trust Us" concert series and Holiday Show where tickets were $10.25 + fees (making them a lil over $15 each) has spoiled me.  We've seen some great bands for cheap!  A 2 hour drive for an inexpensive concert works for me.  I will admit that the cheapest tickets we have gotten in recent years were $5.50 to see Car Seat Headrest and Lucy Dacus at the Rock Hall atrium.  
    Should have got em. Greta is amazing live. Seen them 3 times 

    Wow, Greta is still around!

    Radiohead is a notoriously hard ticket to score at face, in NYC- Ive had a way harder time seeing them than I have PJ. That said I could easily buy a new car with the money Ive spent seeing them both.  Was stuck in the que for 20 minutes only to get nosebleeds for tuesday and a single for wednesday that took me hours. Still looking for Friday but I'll prob search for a decent single for that for $$$$ I'm sure closer to showtime.  This summer is Incredible in the music department- I feel very fortunate all my fave bands are playing, a very fortunate broke person  ;)


    Notorious is a big understatement. I've only seen them twice for that reason, RCMH and Roseland.

    . Damn I miss Roseland, saw  Radiohead and RATM  there, best acoustics of any venue I've been at.

    Had no luck at pairs for the four msg shows so I experimented with trying to buy singles, so sick of getting shut out for Radiohead, it's been 15 years

    So I got two shows at msg and one in Boston. I'll be lonely, but will be making up for lost time ;-)

    Seriously? Roseland had the worst sound of any room in NYC IMHO. Even bands with great sound technicians like Wilco sounded terrible.  The venue was cool but every time I went I let disappointed with the sound.

    I too haven't seen RH since 2003 and couldn't get a pair for either Toronto show so I decided to grab a single for N2. It'll be interesting to say the least as I've never attended a concert on my own but what the hell? Why not!?!

    Wow, funny how we've had completely different experiences at Roseland

    I recall Roseland had very clean four walls and ceiling. They did have a small side balcony if I recall correctly, and that could lead to sound issues. But it had no   beams or structure support if I recall correctly. That's what I look for regarding good sound.

    Nasssu coliseum is one venue with terrible sound, due to all the beams on the ceiling. A smaller venue out on the island, the Paramount, suffers the same sound issues, with lots of beams at the top.

    To your point, the same venue can have better acoustics depending on the act.

    Saw Chevelle at the Paramount a couple months ago and they sounded crisp. Saw a new Rush cover band there yesterday, and the sound was back to the normal Paramount washed out acoustics. But this cover band has some serious talent ;-)

    Going alone is an interesting experience, and in the era of $300 lower level tickets, it's often necessary. 

    Definitely lots of time to think about the band from only your own perspective, but I  try to not start climbing up the walls.

    It was the PA at Roseland that sucked. Muffled, distorted and you could hear it clip once in awhile.  But if your seeing bands like Chevelle, muffled and distorted is probably what you are looking for :)

    Chevelle bashing, nice! But they do have  nice soothing guitar distortion.  You might as well send the pain below. 

    Those two incredible impossible to get in shows (when both were at the beginning of their arena tour days) RATM & RH I was middle of ballroom right in the center, which may have something to do with my recollection of the sound, or maybe it was....

    i am convinced that TM waits 20 minutes before releasing any tickets to thwart the bots, and then they release them in batches. I know they do not do it for all acts, but that is how it seemed to go down yesterday.
    I agree about yesterday. I bought Boston as a hedge on Friday since I haven't seen them in do long.

    I couldn't get anything in pairs on my pc, so started trying for singles on my phone. Scored section 115 near the back. So I was quite happy with that and Boston

    Then at 10.25am for a different msg night section 108 row 3 single popped up. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!

    Scored good seats to the Cincinnati show. First time getting to see Radiohead so really looking forward to it. This year is shaping up to be a great music year. Only need Car Seat Headrest to announce a show close to Indianapolis and it will be set lol.

    I wasn't bashing, just saying maybe that venue was better suited to the types of bands you prefer. :)
    I am amazed I was able to get any Radiohead tickets.  Nothing even came up until 10:30 on my phone.  Got nothing on the PC.
    Between 10:30 and noon I was able to get a pair for the Friday and Saturday shows. Amazing really.  One of the most popular acts, in NYC.  Its amazing to me that I was able to get tickets on TM.  I usually have no luck on TM.  Not the best seats in 209 and 225, less than 15 rows up, but its fine for RH. You want to see the lights and screens.

    Hysterical, I also giggled when I read "best sound", Roseland was notorious for having crappy sound

    I tried SO HARD to get into Radiohead at Rosalind- it was IMPOSSIBLE- My friend and I even went as far as to make a pathetic sign- it was bad hahaha Rosalind was such a big part of my youth and to see them there during their last days would have meant the world to me. RATM there was mind blowing.  It's not fair how the bots and whomever interfere in the music experience, I really miss the days of waiting in line, would almost ALWAYS get a ticket, and even a good seat at that bc only the real fans were willing to kill a day for it.  They make it too easy for them, and too hard for us now. Shame. I hope I can find a good seat at least for Friday, even if its a single, don't care.  The show I saw at msg I scalped 15/20 years ago I went alone wound up in 4th row- it was the def in my top ten all time.

    I'm sure I've posted this in another thread, but this summer is indeed a dream come true if you are a fan of 1990's (alternative/indie) music.
    Agreed! Its really unbelievable- PJ, Radiohead, Foo, Weezer, Pixies, Jack White even Slayer and Ozzy are playing this summer last tours! All my faves- wish they didn't ALL go on sale the SAME DAMN TIME- but wow, what a summer it will be! I am flabbergasted about Radiohead AND PJ tho- it doesn't get better than that for me.

    I too haven't seen RH since 2003 and couldn't get a pair for either Toronto show so I decided to grab a single for N2. It'll be interesting to say the least as I've never attended a concert on my own but what the hell? Why not!?!


    Going alone is an interesting experience, and in the era of $300 lower level tickets, it's often necessary. 

    Definitely lots of time to think about the band from only your own perspective, but I  try to not start climbing up the walls.

    I see what you did there!!! haha Agreed- going to a show alone, esp Radiohead is so fulfilling- Ive seen them alone almost every time I've seen them- not many people I know, prob no one come to think of it, as big a fan as I and I could never handle seeing them with someone who didn't get it, would ruin the experience for me.  You'll love it.

    I've seen a LOT of shows alone, and the vast majority of them I've had an amazing time.  Once in awhile my neighbors are bummers, but that can be true when I go with a friend as well, although you don't notice as much if you have someone with you who's psyched.

    I'm going to all 4 RH shows I just bought tix for alone, because Philly are both on weeknights (husband needs to stay home with kiddo and get her to and from school), and Boston my husband and kid are coming with me for PJ so really can't buy plane tix for the whole family for RH too.  Fortunately have an awesome husband and also Metallica are touring this summer so he'll get his shows too ;)
