the crash that took me
boys named sue
gogol bordello
bentli. sort of.

and, yeah, i think that's it. note: all seen on vacation in texas.

ka"not many shows monday nights i feel like going out on"tie

[edit] but start a "best plays seen in 2007" thread and i'll have something good to say. [/edit]

I've been to just over 50 gigs so far this year (I've got about 5 gigs left this year). I've had to cut myself off from shows for the remainder of 2007 unless they're free. I spend way to much money on concerts.

Next year I am really going to put a limit on my purchased tix and festivals. free gigs are great, but if I have to pay I will not spend more than $500 for the entire year. Yikes that's only just over $40 as month. I don't think I can do that. I mean I might be able to ....but it will be HARD!

I'm gonna mix this up a bit and put in my list of my Top 10 gigs. Seing as I saw WAY more live music then I bought cds. No particular order, all were great live shows.

Jamie T

You saw Jamie T? Awww... I love Jamie T. Yay.

boys named sue

I was thinking about this last night, and I have to say that this (plus Tejano Brothers) was probably goin down as the most fun I had at a show all year. It was greatness.

FINALLY saw him. Took him forever to actually make his way across the pond and to my neck of the woods. But worth the wait!
