After going back and forth about going to LA to see Oasis, I didn't pull it off. Thinking it over, should have gone. Tickets - not great but to get inside what really was less a concert and more an event, could be had for 250 or so at the Rose Bowl. And while they aren't the same young punks of the early 90's, Noel Gallagher is still rocking very hard, Liam seems to be in good voice, and the band was basically the brothers, and even Bonehead is on this tour, Archer and Bell were in the band longer than Guigsy.
I guess it's been fairly difficult to get tickets to the recently announced Rush tour, even with the added shows, and 300 seems to be the minimum buyin. For no Neal Peart - but Geddy seems very enthusiastic about the shows so it will probably be a banger, but I'm not gonna travel for it.
The nostalgia acts really are in full flight though. A small bar (think.. Mabel's on Green) near us has the following acts/prices booked.
BOC - 166 (no word on if there will be More Cowbell)
ZZ Top - 266
Wang Chung - 57
Jefferson Starship - 92
Erasure - 97
Flock of Seagulls - 52
Marshall Tucker Band - code locked for members, will probably be 200
BOC still has the 2 main dudes, ZZ Top is 2/3rd with us, don't know much nor care about the others - Jefferson Starship, who even knows who is in that band. I think Erasure is just one guy. It's really sort of sad.
