My genuine introduction to KISS
(I never quite understood how I saw this as a kid. We didn't have cable, but a few times on a saturday afternoon I remember somehow tuning in to Nickelodeon stuff. I saw this, I saw Ren & Stimpy. We were in Long Island and had pretty poor reception at times. On a nice clear day you could maybe tune into the Brooklyn based PBS. When I moved my room up into the attic and had a separate and presumably more powerful antenna, I could easily tune in to any and every available station. And then 9/11 happened and we pretty much had to get cable.)

Yeah Oats seems to be one of the voices of reason in that thread, but then again I get the picture of him bopping to Gaga and Perry literally hundreds of times and I cannot un-douche that picture in my head, sorry. By the way whatever happened to Keith Hirsch? Have his ceedees caught the coronavirus or something?

322 gigs by eight different artists. Something isn't right there.

322 gigs by operations on eight three different artists dogs. Something isn't right there. Another likely scenario...

I think KeithH committed hari-kari once it finally got through to him that the wondrous collection of Target Cee Dee garbage he spent a lifetime accumulating is the modern equivalent of some proto-yuppie fool bragging about his valuable 8-track tape collection and orange shag carpeting in 1982. If not, I still hope that KeithH committed hari-kari anyway. I hope he was wearing an oversized obi when he did it.

You gotta have your fucking head examined to pay $400 for a ticket to see Springsteen right now.

(IIRC, there were four price tiers, going from ¥40,000-¥100,000.) But, here’s the show for free (which many of you might think is still too expensive):

I think the show was that expensive because McCartney usually plays stadium shows (and can fill them up) and Budokan is so (relatively) tiny. It was also a one-off show, and it was his first time back at Budokan since he was there with the Beatles in 1966. Update: Watching the video now, it’s pretty clear that the people there were having a wonderful time. McCartney didn’t seem to be mailing it in, and he even played one of his old Beatle songs for the first time ever live (“Another Girl”). I wouldn’t spend $1000 for a concert ticket myself, but those who did sure didn’t look like they were suffering from buyer’s remorse.

The premium was also because they knew Oatsdad wouldn’t be there to play with a Gameboy during the entire supporting act.

I’ve never seen Springsteen for one reason or another but am a big fan and would love to see a show, but given that his vocals aren’t what they were, Clarence is no longer with them and I have a bunch of shows on torrents or dvd, I think I’d put a limit of £100 on it. With social distancing, I’ll stay home and watch it on TV for free.

With social distancing, I’ll stay home and watch it on TV for free. Boring story, but I paid £85 to see him at Wembley stadium a few years ago (after Clarence had died, think it was the tour for Wrecking Ball). I’d normally never consider a stadium gig, and was worried it’d be shit, but his sound is designed for huge spaces so it worked (only other ‘big’ show I’ve seen that was designed to fill a huge space and really worked was Roger Waters whose sound was immaculate). The big band and his endless energy made it seem like Susan says about Macca, wasn’t phoning it in. After a couple of songs, he spent an hour picking song requests from the crowd’s signs (taking them from the crowd and holding them up to the band to indicate what they’d be playing next), did the hokey Dancing In The Dark onstage dance with a fan, then played all of Darkness At The Edge Of Town, then did an 45 minute encore of hits, then played an acoustic Thunder Road as the final song. It was pretty impressive as a feat of stamina from a man in his sixties who has to do that night after night on a long tour, and if he was having as much fun as he seemed throughout that tour, then he’s living his best life, as the kids say.
