  1. I've seen end stage shows sell behind the stage a few times ... Finally - just enjoy the damn tour!

    Hi folks ... regarding end stage shows, two of the best shows I've attended were in Madison Square Garden ... The Rolling Stones in 2002, and U2 in 2005 - both times I purchased a single seat off of eBay,

    for the Stones gig it was like $250 but I was 2 rows from the left side rear corner of the stage ... no kidding, I could have reached out and touched Bobby Keys; for U2, it was under $100 and the first row

    right above the zamboni entrance ... of course, both bands were capable of selling every seat in the house, so they construct their stages to allow a clear view, if I remember correctly the sound systems were

    hanging above the stages. It's also pretty cool to see the reactions of the crowd down close right in front of the band. B)

    Ok, gonna date myself right here, but the first gig I ever attended was the Stones @ MSG in June 1975.

    I was an idiot back in August 1988, I should have road-tripped to Boston to see the G n' R/Aerosmith tour, but didn't.

    I saw G n' R @ Nassau Coliseum in 1991, Skid Row opening ... also caught them @ MSG on the Illusions tour, and then

    the last time was the MSG show with the Buckethead lineup, the night before the riot in Philly. :devil:

    I'm debating which show to attend this time around ... not too crazy about the IZOD center ... I'd appreciate it if anyone could offer some advice on the pros and cons of the Camden venue and the

    Wilkes-Barre venue; also Philly. :unsure:

    And yeah, I agree, just enjoy the damn tour! :rolleyes:

    Really looking forward to hearing some of the Chinese Democracy material live! :D
