8/12
Nissan Pavilion

Good seats are still available at $251 each (because $250 wasn't enough).

Oh - that doesn't include the $23.55 service charge on each ticket. Free delivery though.

It's real hard to fathom that a group who is essential playing material from two albums released 35 years ago with bonus Young songs can still get that much for a show. I'm guessin it's a 35th anniversary tour for which the cost of nostalgia goes up. Would also bet the typical CSNY fan doesn't get out to many concerts.

Saw CSN&Y twice in recent years and have no need to see them live again, and will never see CSN as Y is the draw for me. They have had in the past had the talented STAX backing musician, Booker T and Donald "Dunn" Dunn with them, plenty of solo Young chestnuts and the classic material is great to hear live. But, they "treat" us to the hair song, Nash does some drippy folkie song solo, and Stills croaks his way through some blues number.

It's too bad Nash can't reunite with the Hollies, or Young can't drag Crazy Horse back out seeing as he's all cranky again. Those I'd pay money to see…

Kosmo, you sound cranky ;)

I'm always grumpy on Friday….

i'm not defending the high ticket prices, but CSN(Y) are/were giants, if other groups like Simon & Garfunkel can command these kinds of prices, then CSNY should be able to as well … these weren't two-hit wonders or anything

2 more !!! dates to add to the black cat one:

June 9 - Washington, DC (Black Cat) w/Lansing Dreiden, Mountain High
June 10 - Philly, PA (Making Time) w/Lansing Dreiden
June 11 - Brooklyn, NY (North 6) w/Telepathe, Mountain High

The Blood Arm are opening for the Charlatans. I've been reading about them for a couple years now, so I'm curious to see if they'll be any good.

A: CSNY stands for "Come See Neil Young"

B: Widespread Panic Friday August 4th, Merriwether Post

….not that anyone here cares or anything

great idea, or maybe we could just move from a city of about 500,000 people and a metro area of under 5,000,000 people to a city, widely known as one of the cultural capitals of the world, with over 8,000,000 people and with a metro area of more than 21,000,000 people

Or you could just move to one of the "Smartest Places to Live":

Anybody see them live before? Any good? Do they play only new songs or am I gonna hear some from Beautiful Freak and Electroshock Blues?

I saw them a couple years ago. Worst concert ever. Mostly new stuff (at the time, DOTG), but they were completely disinterested, and E didn't even seem like he knew the band was there. Ugh.

Thanks for replying. Yeah, I could see how that could be the case. That's too bad. I do love those albums though. They can be very cathartic at times.

If you're going to use poulation count as your criteria, DC should have 25% the amount of free shows by name bands that NYC does. I'd be satisfied with that.

Hell, Pittsburgh has a nice freebie concert series. I guess they have a lot more people there, too.

It's just been announced that Apples in Stereo will be opening this show.

I know it said "The Strokes with special guests The Secret Machines" when I bought tix, but I don't see any mention of it on either band's website. Are TSM really playing?

I got my info from the promoter/radio station. I assumed they knew what they were talking about.

Well, it still does say Secret Machines when you go to buy tickets. But I think it's just kinda weird that it doesn't appear on TSM tour list or on any other concert list. Had a feeling this was too good to be true…
