  1. Great! haha it's been too many years addicted to this... It's also one of my favorite pre-1981 shows I always found it so funny that a venue called National Stadium (sounds bombastic, magnificent, pompous) is actually this tiny room with a capacity of 1500 people:



    Look at the ticket price of that concert

  2. Too awesome. Probably the U2 show I wish I could go back in time and see the most.

  3. Really?

    I would prefer attending other shows if I had the chance... Red Rocks, or Dundee '83 (Like A Song), maybe Brussels or Madrid 87. But yeah, the National Stadium show is legendary. And it's the show where they met Mr. McGuinness, which makes it a true landmark in their career!
  4. Rainy day here.
  5. I hate mass murders, because the perps almost always are loners, which ends up enforcing everyone's bad stereotype about loners even though most of us, just prefer solitary activities. I have plenty of friends. they just know, they're not gonna see me much.

    Ticket prices were always low back then. It cost like £6 to see Bruce Springsteen during The River Tour here in Edinburgh in 1981. Pure inflation has caused it.

    Not only inflation - the price itself has gone up a lot. If it was just inflation, and keeping the same rate (60 pounds today - 6 pounds in 1980) something that costs 1 pound today (let's say, 2 bread baguettes) should have costed 10p back then - and I doubt that's the case. No, it's not only inflation. Culture prices have gone up at a rate that's maybe 4 or 5 times the inflation rate. Paying $200 for a officially-bought seat at a concert is ignominious and disgraceful.
  8. My 4000th post here. That makes me a Native Son if I remember correctly?

  9. That makes you an addict Welcome to the family.

    PS. I think it was Popmartian.

    Looks like you're right, by the way.
