    Unfortunately for me, I blew my chance.

    I was all about to purchase tickets to see Miles Davis at the Keswick and something else came up so I decided oh well, next time.

    Miles died 2 weeks after giving his last performance, which was that Keswick show.

    I have been to so many concerts -- and I was a roadie for two years as well -- there isn't really anyone left I need to see.

    The only band on my list I can immediately think of that I never got to see was PINK FLOYD.

    Consider Roger Waters The Wall tour, I saw Floyd twice back in the day (73 + 74) and caught Rog's Wall show last year, and must say it'd be hard to pick which was more mindbending. I'm not a big fan of the Wall album, but hearing it in the context of this audio visual spectacle made it zing. I paid $176 for my ticket and fully got my moneys worth.

    Well, it wasn't very white this winter, but still great and still North!

    Toronto, June 23. Here's the full tour, Tour Dates - Roger Waters - The Wall Live.

    Toronto is beautiful in June, if you're interesting in heading North.

    To Autumn :
    Thank you for the wonderful offer but I bought two tickets yesterday to the May 5th show in Tulsa (Cinco de Mayo...........woohoo !). I can drive there in four hours......I'll let you know how it goes.

    To richmon :
    Thanks so much for the heads up !

    To TicketBastard, Tickets@Home, and every other entity like you :
    Eat shyt and die !
    Each seat = $199
    Convenience (for who ?) fee for two seats = $61.20
    Handling = $6.25 (for sending me an e-mail message)

    UGH !

    I saw him on that tour just before he died.

    I can't recall how many days/weeks before his death that I saw that show at the Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre, but it was pretty close...no longer than a month or so.

    I was glad I got to see him live, but he was a shadow of his former self at the time. Most of the 'show' was about his band and the young guitarist (18 I believe) who was touring with him. Not my favorite Miles period, but it was still Miles.
    I call my bathroom Jim instead of John so I can tell people that I go to the Jim first thing every morning.

    If you say the word 'gullible' very slowly it sounds just like oranges.

    Would not have mattered which Miles showed up. I'll be kicking myself in the ass forever for that mistake.

    Glad you got to see the legend before he passed tho.
