Who is currently touring or will likely tour again that would you fork out the cash to see?

I don't think I've ever paid $50 to see a show. There are some select bands I'd like to see at Lollapalooza next weekend, but I can't see paying that much to sit through all of the ones I don't care for.

The Roots - Not only the best hip hop band but one of the best bands in music period. Live show was better than the CDs
Buena Vista Social Club - Whether you know spanish or not this is music everyone should give listen to. Too bad they are all dying
Rage Against The Machine - I havent been to many rock shows but Rage brings the fuckin energy

I've seen those 3 for under $50 and the performances were priceless

I'd use my welfare check to see Rage Against the Machine.

I'd drop $50 to see Soundgarden. That said, there is no way I'm dropping $90 to see them next Sunday when the other band I really want to see is playing opposite them

_________________

I saw Soundgarden at Lollapalooza 92.
I saw them at the Aragon for Superunknown tour.
I also saw a weird triple bill at the World Music Theatre with Blind Melon , Soundgarden , And Neil Young .
I would not pay money to see them now. At least not $50.
Their glory days are over and so are my stone washed jeans.
I just don't trust Chris Cornell anymore.

I'll tell you a guy who is worth $50 but you won't have to pay that much to see him if he comes around. Pat McDonald, formerly of Timbuk3. He's a weird dude. A friend and I were playing a Joe Strummer tribute somewhere in the city, I don't remember exactly where, maybe Quencher's. I had never heard of this guy but then someone told me "The Future's So Bright" was his song. Of course I knew that tune. Well, there were a bunch of good local musicians playing this show but we were all rank amateurs compared to this guy. He's a fuckin' rock star and if you don't believe me, go see him. These videos don't do him justice but I'm posting them anyway.

I paid 50 dolla for 2 tickets and a t shirt at a Lawrence Arms concert and I'd do it again. I went to The Who/ Jimmy Page & freaturing the Black Crowes thing 8 or so years ago and those tix had to be expensive, though I remember little from that event.

I agree with ya DT but man did Fagens voice take a nosedive between Kamakiriad and 2 Against Nature. I know hes pushing 60 or so but he really hit the wall. Maybe he was juicing all those years when he could still belt 'em out?

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Probably .... or maybe they got too old to record every little note on every little chart 48 times a day for 12 weeks, then do it all again with an entirely different set of backing cats.

In my dreams, I always wondered "what if" The Doobie Brothers hadn't wooed Michael McDonald away from Walter & Donald, and "what if" they'd have given him some, or all, the lead vocals from that point forward. The closest one can come to hearing that, as far as I am aware, is a little-known live album by 'The New York Rock & Soul Revue' called 'Live at the Beacon Theater' (1993 .... I think?) ... anyway, coming out of the solo section of Pretzel Logic, McDonald takes the lead for a couple lines, and for me it's just awesome. If you have any interest, I'll dig up the track and upload it to crapidshare or something if you can't find it.

Anyway, enough Steely Dan fagging for now.

Sometimes I think thanks to YouTube and HDTVs the concert footage is better than sitting outside or being in a hot room/standing for 4 hours (Metro) listening to the bands.

Soundgarden (almost thinking of dropping the $90 for them). I felt sick to my stomach when I heard they broke up in '97 or whatever year it was.

Foo Fighters when they get a new album.

The best shows I've ever seen have all been 20 bucks or less, and most of them were 10 bucks or less:

Skinny Puppy, Tribe 8, Sleater-Kinney, Jeff Tweedy solo, Son Volt, Fountains of Wayne, New Pornographers, A.C. Newman, The Shins, The Gourds, The Blasters, The Iguanas, Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, early Wilco, The Jayhawks, Iggy Pop, Material Issue (snuck into the Beat Kitchen when I was like 16), Pinetop 7, Calexico, etc.

The one band that I would pay a serious premium to see would be Uncle Tupelo on a reunion tour. I think it will happen.
