This^^^ I have forgotten more concerts than I remember... I also would rather see a band in a local bar, support local business and musicians. Or I have a home theater system and most of my favorite bands on DVD so the band will take a break if I need to get up to pee
. Maybe I'm a child of the 70's but it is difficult for me to get into "LETS PLAY SOME CRAZY ROCK AND ROLL!!!!" While we all sit orderly in our assigned seats in a smoke free environment.
Have to admit to paying crazy money to see Journey in Vegas but it was a room/concert package and we had a great time.
(***Old guy alert***) Laughlin is actually attracting some decent acts... we may have to check that out.
