The concert question: How far would you drive?
« Reply #15 on: April 25, 2004, 08:31:08 AM »
1 hour, no more than 2.. since i live in jersey alot of artists come thru to the njpac & madison square garden, which is about an hour and some change tops,.. but that\'s about as far as i\'d go for an artist...
knowledge, wisdom & understanding..these are the basic fundamentals of life

if you can\'t amaze them with brilliance, baffle them with bullsh*t....

Now, I doubt I will (I seriously doubt it, tho I feel compelled to do it), but the question is...

How far would you drive to see one of your favorite bands perform?


i was there.  kickass show.  I\'d drive about 6-7 hours if i needed to.

There is but one band I would drive more than an hour or two for, and that\'s Radiohead.  I\'ve driven 2x to Toronto (4 hours), 1x to Montreal (1.5 hours), and 1x to New York City (errr.... 8-10 hours roadtime).  I would probably do a 12 hour drive max to see them regular concert, but if I got a tick to something really cool, like another invitational (like the NY show), then I would be willing to drive for 30 hours easy, or just take a plane....

Here is another;

Would you get really crappy seats if you could see a decent band that is playing within your driving limits?
