Howdy-Folks! What's Your Best Concert Experience? Let Me Tell You Mine. Things Had Been Rough For Awile, You Know, Paycheck to Paycheck, It Starts to Run Together After Awile. So, After Pulling Some Overtime, And Talking It Over With My Wife, We Decided " We're Going Out", But What Show?Some Good Ones Comming-up; Ozzy W/ Rob Zombie, Van Halen, And A Personal Favorite, Alice Cooper. After Checking Out Ticket Prices, Seating Avaliblty, Inside or Outside,... I Have Come To Find-Out That Most Of The Bands That I've Grown-Up Listening to, For Some Strange Resons, Think I Make Way More Money Than I Do. I Don't Know About You, But Personaly, $200.00 to $2,500.00 A Seat Is'ent In Going to Happen. Anyway, Seats For Alice Cooper, House/ TicketM*$*er Were only $47.50 Each. It Was Inside An Older Theater, Seating Less Than 1,500 People, I Got Paid 3 Days Before The Concert, Went On-line And Bought; 2 Front-Row Center Seats. Total Cost : $115.75 w/fees. Close Enough to Scare "Alice". Let Me Say...Im 43, And I've Listened To Alice Cooper Since I Was 8. I've Listened More to His Music Than to My Mother, My Father, Than To ANYONE. I Listen To Other Bands As Well,...Now. Valet Parking,Front-Row Seats,A Nice Fat Joint Before The Show, And No "Pat-Down/Search" Before The Show. Not That You Could Smoke Inside The Theater Anyway, Its More About Respect. The Opening Band Was O.K., But We Were There To See "Alice". My Wife Knew Who He Was, A Couple Of Songs of His, But Not What To Expect.:hubba: We Were 5' From The Stage, The Aisle In Front of us was Open, And Securty Kept It Clear. Haveing Had Past Concert Experiences Like Getting Crushed By The Crowd, Bone-Splints, Broken Ribs, Or Suddenly A "Mosh"-Pit Opens Around You, It Was A Nice Change of Pace. Alice Came Out And Peformed For 2 1/2 Hrs. He Put On The "Full" Show, Lights, Dancers,{His Daughter Dances All The "Female"-Leads, She Was Very Good.} Like 10 Costume Changes, "Dead Babie's"/Swords, Even The "Gallows", "Alice" Gets Killed Every Preformance/ Show. Alot Of People Don't Understand "Alice", His Music or What He Does In Concert, He's A Storyteller, He's Writen Hundreds of Horror Short-Stories, Set To Music. He's Never Resorted To Curseing in His Music,Sure Sometimes The Subject He's Singing About is Shocking, Outrageous and Conterverseral, But Thats What He Does. But,He's Not "Vulger" Wile He Does it, And Every Album He's Done Has at Least One Love Song On It,And Every Album Has Had At Least 3 Songs That Has Been Worth the Price of the Album on It."Alice" Gave Us His All, He Sang Alot of His "Older" Music, Everything We All Knew And Loved,I Was Horse for A Week, But It Was Worth It. My Wife And I Had A Fantastic Night. It Was My Best Concert. So, Tell Us About Your "Best" Concert. Looking Forward To Reading About It. CaptainViper.
