It has been 19 years since I have gone this long between concerts, so I plan to rectify that situation in August. I am going to four concerts. I will see the guys in Clarkston MI and Cleveland. I have never been to New York City, so I decided to fly out for a few days, see the city and go to the Radio City Music Hall concert. My last concert will be Cincinnati.

Posts: 43 06/30/09 07:34:29	Hi, My 22-year old daughter and I are going to the concert in Scranton on August 14. I'd invited our third son, too, but he's busy that weekend and can't get home. With one thing or another, including raising four kids, I haven't gone to a concert since 1972 or 73! Anyway, Juli, the queen of peace signs and tie-dye (I just made her curtains for her grad school apartment, and she spiral tie-dyed them ) is excited; she even bought ME a tie-dyed top at Rue 21. It's kind of floaty and reminds me of a maternity top, so I'm not sure if I'll wear, but I promised to try. lol Anyone else going that night? Sue in PA, listening to Octave

I have a dear friend in the PA area, and it would be fun to see her again, but alas all I can afford is local shows. (Yikes those were expensive enough!) doing the five shows in the Pacific Northwest. Only gathering I know of will be in the Heathman in downtown Portland before the show, and that will be attended by all thirsty fans, on line and NOT on line! LOL. Eugene, Britt and Chateau Suite Michelle always have big camp outs on the lawn before the shows. I have mad hippy friends at all the shows, so I'm going to have fun! Those doing the PacNW be sure to mapquest Eugene, Britt and C Ste. Michelle, as they are sorta stressful getting to if you've never been there before (I hate Eugene's street system). The Schnitz is pretty easy to find so long as you can find downtown Portland. Parking there sucks though, but crime rate is low. I'm taking the train up to Vancouver from Seattle, and I had to show them my passport before I could even get a ticket! Sheesh! Now to decide if I really want to take a bicycle or not..........

She always mixes colors and tries all kinds of gumbanding methods. Can you tell I'm from Pittsburgh? We also tie-dyed a sundress when we did the curtains and both things turned out great. I'm convinced it's the dominant right brain; she's a bassoonist, but is also very arty. I'm so left-brained that when I draw on the board at school my students laugh! Sue

Posts: 840 07/01/09 21:11:06	Sue you've been reading Dragons of Eden too much! LOL no one in the business uses the ol' right brain left brain thang anymore. But I get cha. You just have to uncork that creative genie and let her out of the bottle! I'm getting my embroidery ready to go on the road, so I'll have something to do while I line sit! :) My best creative medium is needlework, so I try to stick to my strengths. BTW my middle name is Sue :) It was hot hot in the Pacific Northwest today, very clear, no clouds. You'd better hope it stays that way, LOL if you are headed THIS way.......... gonna cloud up again after the 4th!

I'm taking the family as my two girls haven't ever seen them live! Oops, now I'm going either to Cleveland on the 11th or Buffalo on the 18th. Last Edited By: Livingstill 07/02/09 21:38:27.

I had hoped to do more but I'm gambling that there will be a Spring 2010 tour that will have a lot of Florida tour dates scheduled. Since we live in Florida, I'm planning on attending ALL of them!!! Might be our last chance -- I heard a nasty rumor that Graeme is thinking of retiring. I don't know if this is the place for this sort of statement, but has anyone else heard this???? Arline in Florida <--------down to only 61 days till we rock The Moody Blues and see Dallas!!!

Steve is planning on bringing his regular camera with lots of lenses and I'm bringing my regular little digital camera. Maybe I should write and ask them??? Arline in Florida <--------jus counting the days and now we're down to 59 days until we rock the big D and see The Moody Blues

I've never had trouble with this.... only once in South Carolina was I afraid to take photos openly, and I snuck off a few anyway. Basically 1) DON'T USE A FLASH. How rude and 2) ask the ushers to talk to the tour manager, because once they they understand the Moodies DON'T care (so long as you don't flash) they will leave you alone.

But these days, with cell phone and compact digital cameras, there's always a lot of photography attempted at any concert. It just depends on the policy of the venue and how strict they are in enforcing it. And how lucky you are - at the Prescott Valley concert, in March, they let me walk right in with a "professional" camera (too big to conceal), even though their policy prohibited them. I happily shot pictures right by the stage, right in front of security and ushers, for two-thirds of the show, until a security boss, making her rounds, tapped me on the shoulder, and said I can't use that kind of camera, while scores of cell phone cameras (with flashes) were going off constantly around us. I said "okay", and sat down in my seat. ( I was never blocking anyone's view while shooting) Five minutes later, she was gone, and I continued shooting the rest of the show - although I missed getting any good shots of Graeme during Higher and Higher - (DARN!!) I was once threatened with either eviction, or camera confiscation - can't remember which - after getting only two shots at a Phoenix concert. So it basically depends on getting the camera in, and not being harrassed by security/ushers, and that can vary greatly from venue to venue. Ah! - the good old days at Circus Maximus - right Taran? I may try to get in with my "professional" camera, anyway, if the walk back to my car isn't too far. (Ever since I got turned away at the door with my camera, at a Genesis concert in Chicago, and had to walk almost a mile to return it to my car.... and that was 25 years ago!)
