If it's rarely what you hope it to be, then why bother to begin with? It's why I stopped going to the shows in 2005 and only started going to more shows once you were guaranteed to get something good on this side of the pond. Wouldn't that have been the case there's no way I'd be going to Milan this year.

I'll explain it....

We go because it's a good time.

I went to all The Circle shows at the New Meadowlands Stadium and had a different experience each time. Its the energy of the crowd. It's the before and after tailgate. It's having fun with the people you go with. We went to one concert with 10 couples so there were 20 of us. We had a really good time. I was the only diehard but we partied in that parking lot 8 hours prior. We even missed all the opening acts and didn't even care.

The next night I went with my fiance and her mother. And we had a good time too. Different but still fun.

My friend did this for Springsteen and I'm doing it this summer. I have t-shirts from every tour dating back to the New Jersey album. It's a mix between official and parking lot rip offs. I'm going to set-up a display at the concert. Like I said, my buddy did it for Springsteen and it was a huge hit. All the fans really appreciated looking through them all. He was in every newspaper too.
