Not bad. I think I paid $275 or so for Elton John last year.

Where in the stadium were you?

214, I think. Two hundred something good view slightly from the side.

Is that a mid-level tier like in Atlanta? If so, comparable seats for the Stones are still available for $200 or so.

[O Really]

Yeah that looks comparable

[.Oomba.]

The only stuff Hall and Oates ever did that I sort of liked was their "Abandoned Luncheonette" record from 73. It had a couple of good songs. "She's Gone" was pretty good, and "Las Vegas Turnaround (The Stewardess Song)" as well. I never much liked them after that.

I always liked Sara Smile as well.

My daughter told me about a month ago that the Stones are playing in Atlanta in April. She figures on us going but I'm not sure I will.

I pretty much gave up on old rockers long ago. I got disappointed too many times. Santana was an exception and he put on a helluva show.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium has a typical concert capacity of around 58k, but Ed Sheeran performed to a record crowd of 76,335 fans in May. The currently cheapest tickets on StubHub, nose bleed with clear views, are $67. Not terrible. Please let us know how it was if you do go.

The last big concert I went to was Crosby, Stills, and Nash in Oakland in 78. The wife and I went to a few small events in Asheville but all those were over tweenty years ago.....Delbert McClinton at some place on Biltmore Ave on the same side of the street as Orange Peel but just up from them. Another one at 45 Cherry to see Omar and the Howlers (we got our picture taken with Omar during a break). The last event I saw was David Grisman Quintet at the Orange Peel. Only time I was ever there; it sucked....no place to sit other than the floor.

Oh, yeah, I'd forgot about that one.

Some bands stay good even when getting old, and some lose a lot. I saw CSN way more recent that '78 and Crosby was awful - couldn't hit the notes, couldn't carry a tune. I don't know what the Stones concert would be like, but I'm guessing they wouldn't go touring if they weren't able to put on a show like the fans expect. And interestingly enough, some tribute bands are as good as the originals used to be.

Is this still an event in Asheville?

The Warren Haynes Christmas Jam

Curated and presented by Grammy Award-winning vocalist-songwriter and revered guitarist Warren Haynes, the Christmas Jam is a one-of-a-kind music marathon.[1][2] Since its inception in 1988, the concert has provided an opportunity for the performing artists, audience and the local community to give back during the holiday season. Over the past 18 years, Haynes - an Asheville native - has worked closely with the Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity.

The first show was dubbed, "The Christmas Jam: Musician's X-Mas Reunion" and was held at 45 Cherry, a local club in Asheville, on December 22, 1988. This event has continued to grow every year and is now dubbed "Warren Haynes Presents: The Christmas Jam". The show sells out in a matter of hours every year. Because of the fantastic growth, it is currently held at the U.S. Cellular Center (formerly known as the Asheville Civic Center),

Got it

[.Oomba.]

With The Hot Band. Why does that have to be so long ago? I feel really old now.

Bring back Stinger!

You guys have had a music thread since 2013.

Kudos for that.

[billy.pilgrim]

And if paying back the debt of Celine ever ends, it will be time
to take up the Rush debt. This is going to go on for some time.

A very long time. Don't forget the Beib. (Hey, there's no hurling emoticon.)

We miss ya

Thanks, with 1653 Replies and 100459 Views BRD wasn't even launched until late 2012, so we got around to it early.

We watched the 4-part series "Willie Nelson and Family" on Paramount and highly recommend it. Lots of music, interviews, and clips.

Hail Satin

As an aside, the Bee Gees actually turned out some good and sophisticated music.
