I've been known to pay $50 to see Bob Dylan in a large venue, because that's about the only possible way to see Bob Dylan. I think when the concert tickets are more expensive than $35 and the artist is not one of a select few, seeing the show fails to cross my mind; for the select few the barrier is probably around $50.

I paid 105 Euros to see The Police - at current rates that translates to $167. That's a *lot* of money, much more than I had ever paid for a show before. I'm not entirely sure that it was worth it. However, last night I saw Paul Simon for 70 Euros. That's still a lot of money at $111, but there were 8 musicians on stage, the show was great and I had no regrets at all! I think I paid about the same to see R.E.M. next month. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2008 08:13:37 -0700 (PDT) From: Poem Lover Subject: Re: what do you all consider expensive?

Apparently it's $90, since that's what I'm paying that for Radiohead, though it's at the Outside Lands Festival, so there will be lots of opening acts, and it is going to be the first ever night concert at Golden Gate Park. I'd be happier if we had Wilco that night too, but alas they are playing Sunday. "I'm not tempted to write a song about George W. Bush. I couldn't figure out what sort of song I would write.

Well, I tend to take a lot into consideration when paying for concert tickets. I mean, seeing a lone singer on a stage is one thing, seeing a massive arena show with lights and gizmos and a giant stage act is another. I will pay about $100 for good seats to a Rush or U2 show; but I would never pay that much for a Bob Dylan show, for instance. As much as I love him, I'm not that wild about his live act. I think $20-40 is reasonable for solo artists or cult acts, $40-60 is reasonable for acts that put on a bit of a show, and $60-100 is reasonable for a balls-to-the-wall evening with a group that has a massive stage presence. For instance, last night I saw a 3-hour Rush show for $100 -- great seats, and worth it. I also recently saw Devo for $60, which I considered way overpriced, especially considering they only played for 90 minutes, but a friend got me the ticket without asking my ceiling, so I didn't complain. However, on Friday, I saw Adrian Belew play in a boat on the Hudson river -- I was right up front, and the boat cruised all the way past the Statue of Liberty to the Brooklyn Bridge -- a hell of a deal for $40! The biggest bargain I've recently had was a three-hour Wayne "The Train" Hancock show at a bar for $20. The most I would pay for a rock show will be determined by a talking Heads reunion. And...the most I've ever paid for a concert was $750 -- but that was for good seats at a four-night long Ring Cycle. And that was clearly placed on a charge card! - --Quail ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2008 16:16:27 EDT From: HwyCDRrev@aol.com Subject: Re: what do you all consider expensive? they charge so much because we pay it ! actually - i've certainly cut back drastically In a message dated 7/15/2008 3:16:55 P.M.

A Star for Bram and Luxor. I was listening to ASFB a bunch today and yesterday and am prepared to say "1974" is not mediocre, as I had previously thought it was based on hearing it only in "Storefront Hitchcock". (Which is otherwise a great, great concert, don't get me wrong -- I just don't like that performance of that song much.) I still don't think it's one of RH's best songs but I like it a lot based on this recording. Similarly: I always useta think "My Wife and My Dead Wife" was way overrated. But then a couple months ago, I listened to the performance of it on the April 96 Bilbao concert tape, and the scales fell from my ears! I see what everybody likes about it now! Not sure I should go back and listen to it on IODOT now but yeah, I probably will to find out what is lacking there... The same concert tape considerably upgraded my opinion of "Balloon Man" as well. So what about you? Are there songs you like on His records that you don't like in concert, or that you don't like in specific concerts, or vice versa? Any favorite performances of favorite songs? I think the version of "Only the Stones Remain" that I heard on Saturday might become my favorite just by virtue of the incredible stuff he was doing with his mouth organ. Unrelatedly, is my perception accurate that Mr. Hitchcock performs "I've Got the Hots" really, really frequently at his appearances?

In 1989, he weren't that fat. I think I only paid $25 for my seats, but they were out on the lawn. Of course, I wasn't buying from (I'm assumign) a scalper.

First off, seconding the suggestions to make a backup of any crucial data right away. Always a good idea. (I've downloaded STOOPID quantities of live/unreleased music via bittorrent, have backed up every bit since a hard drive crash to DVD-/+Rs to the tune of 1400+ discs (!!!), and I scoff when anyone opines that it takes a lot of DVDs to back up any significant amount of data. Scoff!) Secondly, since you've already said you've used this drive for over 5 years, I conclude that even if it were a Seagate (the brand with the longest warranty period at 5 years), it'd still be essentially futile to run a diagnostic on it, since you wouldn't be able to get it replaced anyway, but, hell, it might help you to know whether failure is imminent within minutes or only within weeks, so, go to the manufacturer's website, do a search for "diagnostic" or something like that, download whatever tool is there and see what results it gives you. d9 ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2008 18:19:52 -0500 From: 2fs Subject: Re: what do you all consider expensive?

Nah - and honestly I haven't seen a recent pic of him. He was only a little on the heavy side back then.
