Looking forward to the Crue in Houston soon. I went to see Def Leppard and Kiss at the end of August and KISS was horrible.

Hmm where do I begin.............
Is "One Direction' using Malaysian Airlines as their official transport?
McCartney is always on the high end as far as prices go.
Going to see the Crue/Alice Cooper here in OKC next month, havnt seen the Crue since the 80s but did see AC last year and it was a very good show. I have heard Vince Neils voice is shot though.

Oh man what a horrible list (for me).

In America, best concert I've seen in a long time was Sharon Van Etten. Just WOW.

Sarah Chang was incredible at the Strathmore. So was Hilary Hahn at Kennedy Center. This Sunday I happily miss the WWE PPV to go see the best violinist on the planet, Joshua Bell, at Kennedy Center.

Next month - Fleetwood Mac at Verizon Center here in DC should be really good. That one sold out pretty quickly; I was lucky to get a ticket. We'll be like:
