I loved seeing them because each artist is one of the very best in the world at his craft - awesome! It was fun, carefree and enjoyable. I'm not a huge fan, but live music is a fave for me.<br /><br />Confession: I told my husband not to purchase a Foo Fighter ticket for the concert in the fall - too much cussing for my taste. My motherly ways would just sit there being annoyed. So our teenage girls and he will attend together instead. I guess I'm old. <br /><br />Glad you had a great night out!Missy Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09020559836786005693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7377914227915645124.post-53878949343748361292015-06-02T09:40:01.737-05:002015-06-02T09:40:01.737-05:00Hey now. I admitted my fair-weatherness! And I'...Hey now. I admitted my fair-weatherness! And I'm still happy we went, it was worth it to see them live no matter what they played. <br /><br />I totally understand about them not playing to those of us who aren't that deeply into them. I get it! I love me some Johnny Cash and the songs of his that mean the most to me are the little ones that don't get a lot of attention. If he was alive I'd spend $$$ to go see him.<br /><br />My friend Bill, who is just like you as far as Rush fandom is concerned, is still giving us shit about our reaction to the concert. I don't think we'll ever live it down. I did buy a t-shirt though, for my son who is 17 and spends lots of time in his room w/ his headphones on :)<br /><br />Thanks for reading!the_happy_hausfrauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07372773477740551839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7377914227915645124.post-18209500945335097422015-06-02T09:37:05.064-05:002015-06-02T09:37:05.064-05:00I saw SO MANY Alabama Shakes t-shirts at school ye...I saw SO MANY Alabama Shakes t-shirts at school yesterday!

It was a fun night out with my homie, and that's priceless.

Rush got me through my teenage angst years, and that was back in the late 80's/early 90's when Rush still wasn't cool. They've never been 'cool', but I guess that's what I love about them. <br /><br />I'm not a groupie by any means, I've attended enough Rush concerts over the last 25 years to assure you that occasionally, they throw you fair weather fans a bone with a Freewill or a Time Stand Still, but you have to understand that they aren't playing to you, nor have they ever. They're rewarding their loyal fans with the hidden gems that may mean nothing to you, but mean everything to them. <br /><br />And Rush.....meh? I'd just LOVE to hear what you waste your money on. ;-)greenappleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376074982922465139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7377914227915645124.post-89505735621042913622015-06-01T10:27:15.297-05:002015-06-01T10:27:15.297-05:00I just went to a concert this weekend, too, and le...I just went to a concert this weekend, too, and left feeling a bit disappointed. Not because of the artists or their music, but because I realized I have become more of an introvert. I don't like crowds. I don't like people chatting over the music. A sort of "group nirvana" emotional experience I was perhaps hoping to have did not materialize. And goddamned it, I am over 50 and I don't like standing for 5 hours straight. And sitting on the ground on a blanket in a sea of people standing up all around you feels lame as f***.<br /><br />A good thing I did find out is the artists I admire and play over and over on Spotify DO sound as good live as their recordings do. Sure, some of the fancier aspects of the arrangements I am used to can't be pulled off (no string section, no trumpet player on "Chateau Lobby") but I am convinced these are performers of the first order.Mary Rempalski Ohmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06071290311402787006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7377914227915645124.post-45195667928509381902015-06-01T07:18:10.232-05:002015-06-01T07:18:10.232-05:00Dr. Horrible is probably one of my most favorite t...Dr. Horrible is probably one of my most favorite things ever.
