Willie Nelson, March 7th at the Topeka Performing Arts Center. Tickets are kinda expensive, but I've never seen him live and he might not be on the road for much longer so I probably shouldn't pass it up.

Who are most of these bands!?

....Oh my god. I just realized that I am old now.

I'm going to Bon Jovi on April 13th at the Sprint Center with my cousin. We got upper level behind the stage tickets for $17.50 plus a $2.00 venue fee at the arena box office. This show has a wide range of ticket prices from $17.50 and $27.50 to $137.50 and $187.50.

I've seen Bon Jovi twice and saw them in Oct 1989 at Sandstone and in May 2011 at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, IA. In Iowa, I got tickets for $17.50 plus phone fees and cost $28.00 a ticket. I was in the upper level behind the stage for that show also.

Bon Jovi puts on an impressive LED video system. It would move from the front of the stage in one piece to the back and separate into many smaller connected screens. They also had 'robot arms' connected to plastic screens in back of the stage that would move around and face the front crowd. At one point Jon Bon Jovi was walking on these plastic screens like stair steps. Their stage on the Circle tour was in a circle with two pit areas. I wonder what they will tour with this time on tour.

They even did 'Runaway' from 1984 and that's around the time when, they started as a band.

Is anyone here going to the Lady Gaga show? I read a review from the Portland, OR show recently.The show is 2.5 hours long and has a stage set up of a castle with a runway around a pit area. The article said that the show requires 31 semi trucks to haul on tour. Madonna's arena tour required 29 semi trucks and read that in newspaper story somewhere.
