It’s the economy (stupid). Though the ticket prices in Northampton have only been raised minimally since her last appearance, it is still on a weeknight, and most of the folks going may 1. have kids(with babysitter rates added) or 2. don’t want to stay out too late when having to work the next day. Another reason is that Northampton music fans are notoriously late in getting their tickets, though if you look at Jeff Tweedy’s pre-sale numbers(for the Calvin), most are gone already before being on-sale to the ‘general public’ tomorrow(30th). So, in summing up…….who the F knows!
The tickets to the Concord, NH show went on sale to the public on January 16. 850 tickets have been sold so far. The show is on March 12; I think there will be a very good crowd there that night.
As far as the Northampton ticket prices, Jack1956; I paid $45 this year, and last time $35 for the same section.

Hell, that’s nothin’. Esp. for LW.
I don’t mind paying it Jack1956, but that’s a 23 percent increase and I haven’t had a raise in three years!

Although I am no Bonnaroo curator, it now seems like the currency of this tour has changed just a bit..
You know, I used to really dig another artist and was a long time fan. After a long time I began to lose interest. So, you know what I did? I stopped going to the shows and checking out the website. 😉

As an adult in an adult-like forum, I really am fascinated when other adults use “emoticons (all the smiley faces, etc)” along with other OMG-type/texting terminology to express ideas. Although I might be fascinated, such reflections are valuable as they stand. Simply that.

Bombastic? 😉

So, what does this mean–the word “bombastic” and then a “yellow, winking, emoticon?” So many things to say and so many words/ideas going unsaid…
David,
You are better, as we are all when we ACT. Thanks for the Bonaroo band list posting.
Then when we Re – Act. There is a basic thing about life you didn’t learn from your parents about not being reactive. Your reactions to other people tend to define you. You shouldn’t let your reactions to other people define who you are so much.

Hello Steve:
I wish I could say that I appreciate your post however, I wouldn’t be honest if I did. I would like to say that your Dr. Philean approach to your perceptions is a bit, well, bizarre. Anyone can snip-clip Bonnaroo’s lineup although it’s nice that you found this useful. That aside, I would like to remind you that this is indeed a fantasy world where folks write/react with complete strangers around issues that involve complete strangers. I don’t react rather I do my best to engage such fantasy writers when my BS-meter goes off in terms of LWs music, etc. Other people have talked about their BS-meters here and I choose to use mine as well. I am fortunate enough to have been around for years, have not turned down laminates, and enjoy several insights into what is going on. Not a newcomer or cheerleader, though. Although the Grateful Dead is a brilliant star from a distance and hideous up close, I choose to balance the distance with being up close and personal, too. Even if it rubs those who wear rose-colored glasses the wrong way. After all, it’s there rub, not mine–the sweetest meat resides close to the bone…
