Title: What shows are you all planning on going to this summer?
Post by: The Estranged MrFlashbax on June 01, 2008, 12:28:10 AM
My summer schedule is looking very uneventful so I was wondering if there are any good concerts the gnr fans were going to over the summer (preferably around the NYC/Long Island area) that I could crash. I'm sick of my friends having all the fun stories  :P

The Raconteurs are playing the last of three NYC dates tonight but it's sold out. Saw them on Friday and they were awesome. If you're on Long Island you have the whole Jones Beach season coming up

I get all the emails for the tri-state area and frankly the summer schedule has been looking pretty grim this year.

Only show I saw so far was Van Halen.

Your Dad likes NIN? That's pretty awesome.

This summer so far on my itinerary: George Michael and the Crue.

I'm going to see Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers next week and Def Leppard in August.  Maybe Poison and/or Motley Crue.  We'll see.

Yeah, my Dad thinks they're awesome, plus the fact that Robin is going to be performing with them pretty much sealed the deal for the both of us :)

He has a really open mind when it comes to music, and will give anything a chance as long as it's played at a reasonable volume.

Hell, if I can get him into Tool, I don't think there's anything he wouldn't listen to ;)

Oh, so he's pretty young. When Pretty Hate Machine was out, he was under 30...

Yeah, but my Dad was more into U2, Billy Joel, Styx, etc back then though.

I managed to turn him into a huge Gn'R fan a few weeks before the May 12th Hammerstein show, and ever since then, he loves the sweet sounds of Rock n' Roll ;)

Cool. My kid thinks she is in the 80's, thinks most new music sucks and goes to most of my concerts with me, including Jax Fl GnR show.

Your daughter is right, most new music does suck :hihi:

Hope she enjoyed the Gn'R show though, and here's to many more :beer:

Saw Van Halen in May, GREAT!  Saw Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers last week, VERY GOOD.  Have tickets for Pearl Jam in a few weeks and Def Leppard later this summer.
