Concertgoers?

i LOVE the ACL Fest - bought my tickets the week after last year's - this will be my 5th Fest... this year's lineup is more diverse than usual it seems - Foo Fighters, Beck, Plant/Krauss, John Fogerty, David Byrne, Raconteurs, Erykah Badu... many many more... sure, it's a long 3 days, but there's so much great music, you don't realize how beat you are until the morning after the last day when you can barely lift the fork to put the pancakes in your mouth at breakfast!

Yes, I was talking to you. Are you actually traveling all over the country to promote all the bands you work with? As far as I can tell you are just a liaison for bands coming to Oklahoma. As far as saying Austin is overrated in regard to the music scene, you are lying to yourself. With that being said, if you love music, then you shouldn't be biased as to where it is being played. Like you said, it's a personal preference: I find ACL better than Dfest and you don't.

I went to school in Nashville and loved the music scene there. I hear that Austin is beautiful and being considered the new "Music City"! I can't wait to take a trip down there. As for OKC, I am finding that a lot of great bands come here, I just seem to find out about the shows after their over. Thanks for posting the update list, I think its going to be very helpful!

Well you are entitled to your opinion and hope you have a great time at ACL. But your opinion does not make it fact, nor is it necessary to tell me that I don't love music because I don't share your opinion.

And although you can think whatever you would like about me - I do more than promote music and yes I do travel.

Well your opinion doesn't make it fact either, just b/c you promote bands/artists. If you want to argue with the fact that you chime in after anyone makes a music post that is disheartening to your liking, then go back and look at the posts you have made on this thread and tell yourself the same thing. I was simply posting the lineup that you didn't care for, just like someone on here likes HillaryDuff.

And Austin, music-wise, if you don't even enjoy THAT, then you should definitely keep your day job. All I said was this: If you love music, then you shouldn't be biased as to where it is being played; therefore if you are biased, then you don't really love it.

You two should wrestle.... in jello.....

Great source, I always refer to this!! Also, a good source - The Dallas Observer- if you ever spend the weekend in the Dallas area & want to see great local music: Dallas - Events - Concert Calendar

THis will be my 4th year and I'm excited about the diverse lineup.

I hear you about being exhausted, one year I was completely worn out after the 1st day b/c I decided I was gonna go for a run before we went out there. No Good. You don't have to worry about getting a workout in, for 2 reasons: you sweat like NBA player the whole weekend and your walking practically the whole time from stage to stage. And if you want to sit down, at all, you have to bring your own chairs/blankets, unless you find some of the side tents that have seating. Needless to say, by Sunday my bf is carrying everything.

I bet you want to watch too? lol.

No need to wrestle, not trying to argue. I don't think I was imposing my opinions, just having conversations with others on a messageboard. Obviously Brenna feels offended so I apologize to her and to anyone else that may feel the same way.

Most of you know me on here pretty well, I am happy when any of you go see any type of music anywhere! Just enjoy it.

Ok, last post. I'll be on myspace.

I just wanted to bring to the conversation the levity that only a misogynistic overtly libidinous reference could provide.... oh, and if I got to watch, that would just be a bonus!

the first 2 years we stayed at a friend's place that was about a mile or so away by Barton Creek and we walked to and from Zilker and that wore us out, combined with the walking around during the fest... but we've always taken folding chairs, which has worked out great - the trick is to find a light enough one that doesn't weigh you down when you're walking your rear off...

[jenni_duncan]

Thanks for both of those sites, I'm excited to check them out. I'm actually going to be in Dallas the first weekend in May...

[MikeLucky]

So I guess it's time to at least contribute positively to the original topic of this thead instead of just being a smarta$$.....

Yesterday I just got a wild hair and decided to buy 4 tickets to Linkin Park's Projekt Revolution in Dallas at the Superpages.com Center (Formerly Smirnoff).

It's going to be:

Linkin Park
The Bravery
Chris Cornell
Ashes Divide
Atreyu
Hawthorne Heights
10 Years
Armor For Sleep
Street Drum Corps

I went to the LP show here at the Ford Center back in Feb. and it was the first concert I had been to in about 8 years. And I've only been to about 4 concerts my entire life anyway- that's not a lot in 34 years.

But, I have a band-crush on Linkin Park and that show really got me hooked. I can't wait to see LP again, especially at full strength. I know about Cornell, the Bravery, and Atreyu. Can anybody give me opinions on any of the other bands listed? And also about the venue.... I have reserved seats under the canopy apparently. Are these good seats?????

[OkieHornet]

i can't give you an opinion on any of the bands except i saw Cornell w/Audioslave on their first tour and his voice sounded like he'd been gargling razorblades...

depends on how far back your seats are for Starplex (i'm old-school...). if you're farther back there can be a bit of an echo, but close-up you'll be ok... i've sat everywhere in that amphitheater and the sound's been up and down each time, so it's a crapshoot... i've got pit tickets for Radiohead next month and think their soundman will have it dialed in pretty good...

I am pretty close to the front of the section. I guess the 200's sections start with row AA and I have row HH so it should be close to the front of the second section.

Thanks for the input!

[brenna]

Wichita, get with the century man. Get on itunes or go to Last.fm and listen fo yourself. I was a fan of Atreyu WAY back in the day, but not so much anymore; unless you like cheezy hard rock. Gargling Razorblades- haha - to say the least!

Also, regarding Smirnoff, I agree w/ OkieHornet. In my experience, it has always bordered crappy and horrible as far as the sound, but for who you are seeing I don't think the sound will suffer too much. I want to see Radiohead so bad, but I'm not throwing $150 and a tank of gas away for that venue again.

[brenna]

oh didn't see armor for sleep on your list. they aren't bad at all, i've seen them live.

[MikeLucky]

Thanks for the input brenna. Personally I will listen to Linkin Park live in a storm shelter if I could.... so I'm not too overly concerned about the sound, but I will see just how bad it is before I make a final judgement.

And the weekend in Dallas will be good. It will be a nice precursor to OU/texas weekend.
