After 23 shows (3 front and center)- I just figured I was too old and tired to keep getting drunk and singing, 'Fins'...more power to you Jimmy. Hope this one is better that 'Far Side'...
This one is WAY WAY better than that one. Very enjoyable tunes on it. And, he is much more "up" sounding that on that one. Well worth the purchase.
Heh, heh, heh... couldn't have said it better. I have been going to concerts since 1977, sometimes 2 or 3 venues a year and even took the train to South Florida to see him at the Miami Marine Stadium for the concert that later came out on video, Live By the Bay in 1985 (my friends insist that they can hear me yelling during a couple of lulls, hell, who knows?) Anyway, about 4 or 5 years ago, we were at a concert and had a pretty good time but as it ended I looked at my watch and realized that, if not for the concert, I'd be in bed by now.
We sat for about an hour in the parking lot waiting for traffic to clear and nursing a Pepsi. I watched as two kids (early 20s) climbed the lightposts in the parking lot and when they reached the top they pulled beers out of their shorts and started rocking the posts back and forth screaming at the top of their lungs, "WHOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
I shook my head and turned to a friend (another ParrotHead from waaaaaay back). He looked at me and told me not to laugh, if this was twenty years ago, there would have been four idiots swinging from the lightposts... I looked at him, smiled and said, "Damn, your getting old!"
This spring, I thought it would be fun to go back and get some close-up seats in the pavillion so I prepared in advance. I had 4 seats all picked out set to be purchased online, just waiting for the clock. When the green light came, I looked at them...and looked....and looked. I couldn't pull the trigger. $250+ for four pavillion seats? I figured, heck, I can buy the latest album and a case of Corona and go sit on the deck all night. Jimmy won't miss me.
