I was rooked into going to a Fleetwood Mac show back in 2003(? ish). I'm not a big fan of them but I don't hate them either. Turned out to be a pretty good show and I learned to appreciate them more since then. I'd go again but I wouldn't pay more than $50 or so. Concert tickets nowadays are stupid expensive.
With that said, I'll cough up the money for my kids to have (maybe) a once in a lifetime experience to see a good band. I'm not gonna pay for it on a routine basis but the Chili Peppers at Fenway Park as your first big show will probably be an experience he'll never forget. I'm jealous that I'm not going.
Remember your first real concert? Remember the decibel levels that made talking to the person next to you impossible? The light show, the crowd intensity? Remember how many days it took for your ears to stop ringing?
I've wasted more money on stupider (is that a word?) $hit.
(voluntarily paying $162 to see Earth Wind and Fire would rank in my top ten of wasting money on stupid $hit... that's like 16 cases of Huber Bock)
