Anybody going to McCartney tonight?

[Buffalo716]

The last big concert I went to was the stones couple years ago in Cleveland

 

This is probably going to be a great show

I wouldn’t spend that kind of money for him, especially at the KBC barn, which I find to be a unappealing concert venue

I hear you the prices are ridiculous it's like 500 bucks behind the stage

We all show what’s important to us at that moment by what we are willing to pay. I loved the packed stadium concert in my day, but this is a new day. Now? We prefer small venues, the smaller the better.

My favorite in Buffalo was the tralf music Hall

 

Perfectly intimate with great sound

I have to wonder if Paul even knows what people are being charged... probably not. Love the guy but this would be a hard No...

We were in Nashville a few weeks ago and friends came to join us. They arrived a night late and we all went to Ryman Auditorium. The original home of the Grand ‘OL Opry downtown. It was a great show, but the night before they missed The Listening Room where the songwriters do their own stuff together. They tell the stories behind each song, and they all join in with the others when appropriate. I will highly recommend it as long as nobody else tries to go there.

I saw him on his last tour. It might be a big if, but if he’s anywhere near as good as he was then no one will be complaining about what they paid.

Only Beatle I've seen live was Ringo.. twice, with his All Starr band.. I'm good.

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

I loathe McCartney!! 

[US Egg]

Understandably, his vocals here are not as strong as they were when I saw him in 2016. Back then I paid $750 for a pair of front section center floor seats that were originally $250 each. Swore I wouldn’t pay it, so glad I did.

I always enjoyed shows at the Town Ballroom. I’ve seen three “big” names there (Spin Doctors, Halestorm, Kid Rock) and was never disappointed in the performance.

That's awesome those are some great shows to see

 

Spin Doctors is certainly a name from the 90s

It’s funny you mention the Spin Doctors. They opened for the Blues Travelers at the Ryman Auditorium a few weeks ago I mentioned seeing just above. They were never “my thing” but we loved seeing the Ryman, a great old venue that was a nice size for me.

Went to the Grand Ole Opry “area” last time I was in Nashville for a Bills game. There was a whole festival going on outside, and the mall there was still vibrant, but declined the Opry tour.  Would definitely enjoy a show there.

That sounds wonderful!

 

Definitely have to remember that... The listening room is the name of the venue?

 

Or ryman auditorium... And there was a show called The listening room the night before? Lol

 

Have not had my caffeine yet sorry hahaha

[US Egg]

See some Grand ‘OL Opry references. One of my regrets, I’ve had a few (thousand), was not seeing the annual Vince Gill Christmas Show there. Heard nothing other than it was fantastic. Anyone by chance…..

The Listening Room is a small venue downtown that is acoustic music from singer/songwriters. It’s awesome, if you like that kind of stuff. The honkey tonk stuff on Broadway would wear me out in a hurry, but this is a nice change of pace if you ever find yourself in Nashville.
