Your Concert Resume

[stevew2]

I ve seen clips of him also, he sounded great,its weird how some people can only sing for a short time but people like him, and even the old guys, like Tony Bennet, Tom Jones can still nail them tunes

yeah, I'm a short timer. Two, MAYBE 3 nights in a row and I need a few days to recover. Grr.....
Been chasing that 4th night ever since I've been singing.

Yeh the 2nd and 3rd night is always the best. What do you do, what do you sing, I havent a clue???

Dude, Eagles Rock. 16,000 people singing along can't be wrong. Have a great time, you'll love em.

oh no doubt in my mind. I'm hoping the media passes get me in for some photog ops...but knowing the ticket price....it tells me it isn't likely going to happen.

[mikemarrs]

had second row seats to see david lee roth back in 2003 and didn't get to go because a major freak storm hit here and people were without power for over a week.some 250,000 people were left with no power after a wind storm with winds up to 100 miles an hour hit with no warning.this wasn't some tornado warning because the meteorologist or no one else even knew this thing was coming and it was over quickly but it was a disaster area once it was done.happened about 6 in the morning and it was loud and blew stuff everywhere plus you couldn't ride in traffic due to all the lights being out.then i found out the roth date was one of the best on the tour that came here so go figure.
