Just scored tickets for the Robert Plant/Allison Krauss concert in June for me, Ravishing Partner and Lovely Housemate. Whee! See, Boston's good for *something*... ::ducks while orca_girl and other Beantown friends throw things::

Happy almost-birthday!

That should be a really good show ;))

I look forward to hearing about it!

*drool* That should be something to remember. Lucky!

jealous now!

(cool though :))

They are actually playing in the UK in May - but at Wembley (uck) and the tickets are vilely expensive.

next time!

I can't wait -- the only other concert that C & I have gone into Boston for so far was the last Robert Plant tour (Mighty Rearranger). That man is still big-time sexy, has taken good care of his voice, and is still hugely musically creative and continually re-invents himself and his work, instead of (as would be quite understandable) resting on his laurels and doing "best-of" work. Certainly I'd imagine he doesn't need the money at this point. I really admire that lifetime devotion to one's art.

The local music scene is really good, but mostly for smaller artists, the really big names don't usually come closer than Boston, so into the city we go! Actually, as far as cities go, Boston is one of my favorites, and it's only 2 hours away, it just seems farther than it is ;>

Indeed. Well, now, after this tour there's rumor of a Led Zep tour, and that I would pay whatever they charged to go see...

I will definitely plan to give a full report! :)

Well, thanks! Am having a quiet weekend in to celebrate -- a little break will be a good thing!

The last time C & I were in Boston for a concert, it was also at the BoA pavilion, and was Robert Plant's last tour, Mighty Rearranger -- that's a nice venue, if terribly overpriced like every other big venue these days...

Thanks again for the ticket, sweetie...I can't wait! Gee - two tall cool ones in the same venue... ;>

Yes, I'm a Plant fan myself (my father raised me on Zeppelin). I also adore Alison Krauss and thinks she's amazing live. I love her voice and I'm such a sucker for the fiddle...

I haven't been to Boston, though it interests me. The art museums alone would make me giddy.

Enjoy (and post a review if you have time/feel called).

oh well now that would be worth saving for....

Alas Norwich is a little out of the way these days for the really big bands these days - we're very good for smaller names right now.

Boston is good fun...especially if you're into Irish music, which I happen to know ya are...

Yer dad has good taste! That's how I first knew that C was cool -- on our first date, she knew all the words to the Zeppelin songs I was playing :)

I've never seen Alison Krauss live, and I can't wait...

:) Three months away...but I am sure it will be worth it.
